Back in stock - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Gatefold Double LP with 30x30 cm 24 pages booklet and black flood inside. Black vinyl version.
Mӕre - a malicious folkloristic entity creeping on sleeping people's chest during the night and causing breathlessness and anxiety. It's exactly this state of diffuse terror and paralysis that has been enshrined in HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY's music ever since their debut album. And now, more tales from feverish dreams are being released on January 29th in the form of the band's 5th longplayer "Mӕre", out via AOP Records.
As pioneers of the post movement, mixing haunting black metal with post rock moments, the Austrians have, ever since their conception in 2011, drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into their maelstrom of melancholy, self hate and anger, and even reached #29 of the German charts with their previous release "Arson". And once again, several friends of the band entered the intoxicated world of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY to guest on "Mӕre": While Alcest's front man Neige brings a haunting flair to 'Sing For The Damage We’ve Done', before the anonymous voice of Gaerea joins in on 'Silver Needle // Golden Dawn'. As session drummer, the band one again commited none less than Kerim „Krimh“ Lechner (Septicflesh, live Behemoth) in the studio and the atmospheric artwork was designed by Art of Maquenda.

With their fourth full-length "Solastalgia", the German purveyors of soaring post metal work their way to their innermost core and deliver what is easily their most vulnerable and accessible record to date. "Solastalgia describes the grief over the loss of the natural world," the band explains. The very existence of such a term brutally exposes our alienation from this planet. While some of the albums’ songs deal with environmental issues, others focus on personal feelings and the challenges of human existence in a rapidly changing world. Heretoir has always been pure emotion. The pain of modern life set to music. And yet the desperate beauty of "Solastalgia" proves to be an unlikely source of comfort.
The joint songwriting of David, Matthias and Nils creates the new sound of Heretoir. After exploring their dark and grim side on "Nightsphere", Heretoir have gone in a different direction this time. The songs of "Solastalgia" cover a wide range of emotional and heavy music. From Modern Metal to Black Metal to Post Rock to maybe even Screamo. Whatever you want to call it: essentially, this is pure melancholy and a spark of hope in utter darkness.
‘Ethos’ will be following the critically acclaimed 'Marter,' and stands as a testament to the vibrant dynamics within the German Black Metal Scene.
The album will feature guest performances from J.J. (Harakiri forthe Sky, Karg) and L.G. (Ellende).
Expect to be immersed in a world where melody and chaos collide, where unapologetic riffing and haunting melodies guide you through the shadows of the human condition.

The journey of Chaos Invocation started in the fourth year of this Millennium. Ever since the beginning it has been the intention to manifest the members beliefs and experiences in satanic music. As a trident lineup Chaos Invocation released three full-length records; „In Bloodline With The Snake“ (2009), „Black Mirror Hours“ (2013) and „Reaping Season, Bloodshed Beyond“ (2018). Shortly before the release of the latter, Omega (drums) and Tumulash (bass guitar) joined the founding members A. (guitars) and M. (vocals) and enriched the band with another spearhead. As a four-piece Chaos Invocation recorded „Devil, Stone & Man“ (2022); a wild, fierce an challenging ride into the more sepulchral and dangerous realms of the genre and a sonic monument of satanic worship and sheer metallic fury. „Devil, Stone & Man“ also marks the first collaboration with V. Santura at Woodshed Studio, with whom we also recorded our latest output entitled „Wherever We Roam...“.
