S.06 E.11 – J.J. of Harakiri For The Sky

Harakiri For The Sky is a band who will be talked about endlessly in the near future, not only for the name itself, but for the well deserved recognition they have finally been receiving as of late. The Austrian duo have manifested one of the more earth shattering black metal albums in recent memory, and we get the opportunity to chat with frontman J.J. about this album. “Mære”, which is the title of the record, inhibits a breathtaking atmosphere including many elements of folk, post rock, and melodic ambiances. J.J. dives into this recording process and the handful amount of collaborations he was able to include during production. The pandemic still had it's ill-timing effect on the band, but they stayed true to their goal, even though there were moments of nervousness in the studio. J.J. calls “Mære” some of his finest work, and he has more than enough reason to prove why that is the case. But it's not him you need to see it from, it's the growing fanbase and supporters around the world who are turning their heads in the direction of this black metal duo. Listen in now with our conversation with J.J. and make sure to buy/stream Harakiri For The Sky's latest triumph “Mære” out now via AOP Records.
