Almost thirty summers passed And dropped down on me like fallen leaves No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain Almost tore up listening to this. Amazing album. Emotional, desperate, harsh, melodic. Great job guys, you truly are amazing
Felicitats!!! Feliç, feliç en el teu dia , amiguiti que déu et beneeixi i ara mateix estic molt flipat per la gran qualitat de aquest disc.... Bé, i que compleixis MOLTS MÉS. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😅😅😅😊😊😊
Hey Harakiri für the sky! i wear a hoodie of you guys, but i dont know your Music until now :P it was the hoodie of a soulfriend of mine, who died last year.... i really miss him and the friendship we had... now im listening to your Music and maybe i will like it as much as he did :) Keep on rockin!
The transition at 25:59 and the parts that followed brought me to tears. . . . I am not just talking about the acoustic interlude but even the next few minutes of chaos, solos, blast beats and beautiful rhythmic guitar riffs. . . They get so many emotions out of me. And then, they hit you with Heroin Waltz. Wow!
I CAN FINALLY SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND ENJOY THE ENTIRE ALBUM IN MY BRAND NEW HOME. THANK YOU Harakirir! For giving me the heart and right mind to get my shit together. You didn't save my life. I did my self. By doing. I could have disregarded the whole message of this album and not use it to my ability to become a better person but realistic realizations are surprises in every crack and crevice corner of our daily lives.
My Arson Boxset just got shipped. I am so giddy like a school boy! This album is so wonderful! I am planning on buying all of the Harakiri For The Sky albums! I just cannot get enough of the material these guys put out. They are one of a kind!
I just realized this I find myself at here everytime when I fail. HFTS is giving me the inspiration that I need. I love their way of using suicidal thoughts in the songs. Weird but I feel more powerful than before I discover them. Thanks much for keeping me alive. Respect to the masters of arts, to the Austrians. I'll be listening your songs when I visit Hermann Nitsch's gallery in Gallipoli :')
Reverse psychology #1. They inject power, awesome riffs, throw-down ftw, I(you) have it all, JUST go get it, pure attitude #2 And, YOU r not the beat, but the Beat Down anytime/where #3.
Oh yeah, 1 more thing. You find yourself here when you fail. As you find a few less failures, Show the band how much more fucking awesome they r when you find yourself here when you SUCCEED!!!!!
I absolutely love these guys art covers. So tasteful and the center imagery being woodland animals. Especially the Aokigahara cover. There is more than meets the eye on that one. The music and the covers go hand in hand. Very good music and visuals, gentlemen. Good work 👍🤘
And they are from Austria (Salzburg/Vienna), my new homeland! I used to assume that they were Japanese. :-) Is there Black Metal from Japan, by the way?
This came on after having jammed the new Mgla for the millionth time. Have been aware of this band but never gave them a shot for whatever reason. Clearly I have been missing out. This is good shit. Perfect for staring out the window on this gloomy post Thanksgiving day as I work from home.
ya know, their earlier stuff just never really did it for me like i dont claim to have studied their catalogue, but they pop up in autoplay/suggestions frequently enough, and i always end up skipping but this one man, this one is incredible. i'm definitely gonna be spinning this, and keeping an eye out for them in the future power power
It took me 3 days to get thru this album. I couldn't stop weeping. I'm too scared to show it to anyone, too close to my heart, I couldn't handle anyone's criticism, so I keep it to myself. TY.
This is utterly fantastic metal. As much as I love people who strain their vocals to sound like demons and bands that avoid writing about emotions to appease shallow brutes, and I mean that, this raw, visceral style of vocal delivery and relatable lyrics about real life issues people with depression face is awesome, right up there alongside Agalloch for me.
Fire, Walk with Me How can we forgive ourselves? For what we have become? How should we bear this burden? Displace the things we've done? I loved you so fucking much It nearly lasted a lifetime Fuck! I scratched my heart out Just to watch it bleed... I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified I wish I was kerosene, plain to set your world on fire I wish I was kerosene... just to feed the flames And a bottle of whiskey later I can still recall the shape of your face While I forgot my way home, while I forgot my own fucking name... Who even calls this place home? In the best case it's a grave with a view I was never really here But the streets still seem to know my name Stay! Never mind the emptiness! Leave! Fire walks with me! You kept a lot of secrets and I kept none I wish I could go back and keep some... I usually keep my sadness Pent up deep inside Where it can fester quietly To become mental illness You were so fucking afraid You might be living a lie Oh poor you... I may have lived like twenty! I wish I was kerosene, just to set myself on fire I wish I was kerosene, I'd burn all we've edified I wish I was kerosene, plain to set youself on fire I wish I was kerosene... at least to feed the flames This will never be about life Always about love and death These are the only things that make me write The things that let me bleed, that let me starve The soil below me whispers my name and suggests: You are done here... come home now? Face the triangle of growth, decline and decay Cause the harder you struggle, the tighter the noose! ...the tighter the noose!
The Graves We've Dug It happened in December In the days when things get sad for no reason Strangers share a drink called loneliness And this city turns into the coldest place Then I keep you in mind from time to time I resist to scream your name out loud I'm sorry I gave you everything I had Without making sure you ever desired it... People get tired of being sad, being pushed aside And then they leave, even though they promised they would not And it's not as if I did not try, but somewhere between being who you needed And being who I should become, I became a stranger to us both Teach your heart how to cherish the people around you before they depart You know they surely will, if not by a choice, death steals them away And you'll have the remains of your life to dwell in regrets Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't fill ...and for sure the graves won't fill... This is the death of our youths The requiem to our dreams Almost thirty summers passed And dropped down on me like fallen leaves No, we didin't even ask for happiness... just a little less pain Now we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug Perhaps one day we will meet again Two stars colliding for another time Recognizing the pieces of ourselves We left behind in each other's heart So search for me in the pitch black night When the stars hide behind the clouds And my heart longs for you Whatever you do... search for me Steal my heart in autumn, where I fall in love by time We roam the fields together, counting stars and fighting sleep No, I'm not feeling better yet, it seems I just got used to the words Cause the gallows won't disappear, and for sure the graves won't ever fill This was the death of our youths This was the requiem to our dreams Almost thirty summers passed And dropped down on me like fallen leaves No, we didn't even ask for happiness, no, just a little less pain This is where we sing and drink besides the graves we've dug... ...besides the graves we've dug...
You Are the Scars Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift It took me years to realize you teared my heart through fordable mires But I wasn’t made for shallow waters, my heart is an ocean… And I think that’s where I am right now: Floating, drifting away Too weak to continue swimming, yet not weak enough to give up and sink Leastwise I know now, that salty waters might cure everything Shedding tears… …or to walk into the sea… Did you know, if you hold your breath all too long You will finally sleep forever? Did you know, that I never forgave myself For what we’ve become? How odd I can have all of this inside me And to you it’s just words, another letter??? But what is loss? What is wealth? I am nothing! We are nothing…! We are nothing…! I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black There’s a place in my heart that will never be filled And even during the best and the greatest times I will know it… …more than ever I will know it… …more than ever In another night, in another world Things could have been so different In another night, in another world Things would have been so different I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black I am the mourning You are the scars I am the night Color me black
Heroine Waltz Somewhere there‘s a garden of everlasting love within me But I fear that all you can see are the scars that grace my skin These lightless walks will chafe us and just the drugs keep us warm People feel so lonely in the dark, I feel so lonely in the light I feel so sad about the people That never made it behind the bars of their hometown That never saw these bottomless depths That never walked these mires, I have walked Worth the pain that has burned me and scarred my soul For having been allowed to walk where I have walked Which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth and back again Under, far beneath, through it, in it… …and above… My dear, the concept of „home“ is such a vague notion As I can‘t stay in the same place for more than three days Once you told me, that I‘ll never find home without leaving But now I saw so many places, I at least forgot them all So I’m lying in my bed, in my house And all I want to do is to go home… I had to promise them that I won’t go, but nevertheless I will leave I’d like to think they must have known that I would do this one day So I hope to arrive at my burial late, psychotic and wasted Cause when it’s about death, I feel nothing at all Nothing but anticipation Nothing at all And I will never regret all the wounds you inflicted on me Cause another two of these scars and the world is dead For how I harmed you my dear… …I am sorry… But as this last summer passed I could no longer bear the pain This was our last autumn and I’ll take the blame …I’m so fucking sorry… …but that’s how it ends…
Tomb Omnia You never were aware of me since you died certain years before my birth I’m about your age now, soon to attain the days you lost your vital spark Although you‘re not my father, I’m nevertheless your daughters‘ brother We will never meet in person and I’ll never lay roses, just thorns to your grave It was more than three decades ago they found you close to the woods Your gaunt dead body, held by nothing but this plaited noose My sister was with them, till today she failed to forget To her you will never age, your face will never grow old These days of autumn at least wrecked their lives And in the long run, somehow it too shattered mine There’s no way anybody will get well again And in no way, anybody will be the same again There is this graveyard far up in the mountains We met up there in last winter’s coldest night When mom brought you dewy flowers Like she did in all the years before There’s so much death up there Especially at night Maybe that’s the reason It’s the only place I feel home I can totally get your motives As I know of severity too I was always aware that nothing ends with suicide I was always aware that people die from sadness We move up to the gallows, straight up to the noose In this state of depression there’s no time left to loose So we pour this tree, this life of reckless dedication How couldn’t we? Our coffin’s shaped by its wood I don’t know if you care But your old cabin still guards the gates to the woods It‘s still watching the mountains grow Watching all these years passing by And after death almost seized it We gave our best to fill it with life It still looks the same like back in the old days As you‘d have left it just last June
Stillborn I wonder if depression ever ends Or if it will end me I'm still dancing on the edge of the blade Till it cuts me in half Some days I feel everything at once Other days I feel nothing at all So what's worse? Drowning beneath the waves or dying from the thirst? I dropped my Prozac from one day to the other I do not regret, why should I bother? I just wonder what will happen?! Maybe it will kill me... eventually set me free... Neither do I ask the night to explain I wait for it and it envelops me And so you, me, gloom and light... ...and shadows... are Don't charm away my melancholy, it's everything I've got To me it's kind of death, but I'm forced to keep living I won't glorify or romanticize what you call heartbreak But nothing in this world was promised or belong to you Someday someone won't be afraid of the lows I drag They won't stay on the shore, they'll meet me in the depths I am not dead but also not alive I seem like a ghost with a beating heart Cause death is not the greatest loss in life But what dies inside us while we fledge We are walking away quietly into empty spaces We are trying to close the gaps of the past Cause of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: 'It might have been' Don't charm away my melancholy, it's everything I've got To me it's kind of death, but I'm forced to keep living I won't glorify or romanticize what you call heartbreak But nothing in this world was promised or belonged to you... ...was promised or belonged to you.
Funny, the band's name (which I consider to be awful, if admittedly unique), is why I avoided them for months after being recommended. But more fool me, I suppose. The music is top notch.
Just going over the lyrics and you can already tell these guys know what they're talking about. They lived that, but haven't we all at some time? This band hits very close to home for me. Especially The Graves We've Dug.
I love this album! You guys are true Idals cause I've went through the same shit that describes in the lyrical art and still currently going through so much traumatic experiences in my life. It helps me motivate my self through my life at this point in time with the life lessons portraying Co-incide. I put my self out in a Ditch to get sober out in Phoenix, AZ after going through the loss of a loved one the emotional set-backs were horrible although I have been down this has put me at in a mind set to keep fighting for my life too survive and never give up. I liked "My dear, the concept of „home“ is such a vague notion" cause it summed up how I was feeling at the time being out side making a living under no income but having the motivation to continue being responsible anyways. If you played this at a homeless shelter and everyone was reading along with the lyrics people would start crying. But it would be a very good realization for everyone to improve themselves. Putting all of my strength through putting my self in a healthy mind set I have finally been notified I am getting a homeless Housing voucher very soon after all the set-backs.
I agree with all this and fuck anyone who is too shallow to be able to separate posers from people with severe mental health issues. We don’t need emotionless brutes defining genre. Melancholy works for many of us. I have depression, if you call me an emo, I guess that makes you a good person! Adult bullies are a weird one...
Esse álbum é uma verdadeira obra de arte sonora! Adorei, se um dia vierem ao Brasil, serei o primeiro a comprar o ingresso. Parabéns a banda e a AOP Records por trazerem musica de qualidade aos nosso ouvidos .
Insomnium of black metal. Terrific record with insane amount of amazing leads. I even got used to the vocals over time. Maybe not better than Aokigahara but still one of the best albums of 2018.
Thanks for your music J.J and M.S. The Special Edition with the lighter,... is really awesome. Also thanks to aop records for signing harakiri for the sky. Looking forward to see you in nürnberg guys.
Desde que escuché esta banda no he podido dejar de escucharla, me encanta como suenan lml es desgarrador con mucha fuerza y sentimiento no puedo evitar hacer Headbanging en el metro...
Fuck me these guys are so good! I just heard Maere and that was gold but all their albums are absolutely amazing! Why the hell had I never heard of them before!? That cute riff in The Graves we've dug... holy shit!
