I messed up the end of the song but you may not notice...

Riddance-Beastcraft Manifest(beastcraft cover)

"Lost Control"

Life.. has betrayed me once again
I accept that some things will never change.
I've let your tiny minds magnify my agony
and it's left me with a chemical dependency for sanity.

Yes, I am falling... how much longer 'till I hit the ground?
I can't tell you why I'm breaking down.
Do you wonder why I prefer to be alone?
Have I really lost control?

I'm coming to an end,
I've realized what I could have been.
I can't sleep so I take a breath and hide behind my bravest mask,
I admit I've lost control
Lost control...

HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY is a young Black Metal/Post-Rock band from Vienna, Austria. 
The band was formed by M.S. in December 2011 with the idea to perform Black Metal, that’s rough and melodic at the same time. M.S. wrote and recorded a couple of songs and asked his friend J.J. for lyrical input. That’s when J.J. joined the project as vocalist and HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY was born. In spring 2012 the band recorded their self-titled debut album, which was released via Art of Propaganda in October 2012. 
 
In the end of 2012 and in the following year, the band already played a handful of shows with bands like Fäulnis, Heretoir or Whiskey Ritual, that lead them to Austria, Germany and Italy. 
 
In autumn and winter of 2013 HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY recorded their second album „Aokigahara“, which you hold in hands now. 
As a tasty tidbit „Aokigahara“ contains Guest Vocals from other famous Black Metal musicians, like 
Torsten (Agrypnie)
Eklatanz (Heretoir)
Seuche (Fäulnis) or 
Cristiano (Whiskey Ritual)

„Aokigahara“ will be out on 21st April 2014 via Art of Propaganda 
An album release tour will take place from 21st to 24th of April with the bands Eis & Fäulnis. In October 2014 HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY will start a 10 days european tour with Agrypnie. Also watch out for other shows this year!

Band: Thy Darkened Shade
Title:  Saatet-ta Renaissance
Album: Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet

Album Info: W.T.C. Productions sets October 31st as the international release date for Thy Darkened Shade's highly anticipated second album, Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet. Bolder and brasher than the Greeks' celebrated Eternvs Mos, Nex Ritvs debut, Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet is a sprawling and serpentine work, a daring and diabolical monument to the eternal light of esoteric illumination. At the core of Thy Darkened Shade's aesthetic is the band's profound and intensely studied lyricism. As the serpents of Eden, they are both the shining and the shadows, and consequently know the illusions of good and evil since they originate from the source: Or She-ein Bo Mahshavah, the solitary true light. Thy Darkened Shade are those few who have the wisdom to overcome, the sovereignty to become something evolved, in the forms and likeness of their gods. Across Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet's 78-minute runtime, many names are hailed, amongst them - Satan, Loki, Typhon, Set, Ahriman, Lucifer, Prometheus, Kingu - and the band explore myriad routes toward that burning, searing illumination. But as labyrinthine as Liber Lvcifer I: Khem Sedjet is and its pathways at times beguiling and treacherous, here black metal music serves a greater purpose: the Promethean mantras lead Thy Darkened Shade and the blood of Qayin binds them towards acausal freedom. "We possess everything we need to destroy all illusions; we are the children of Lucifer -  we shine in grandeur and might." Thus begins the age of Acausal Necrosophic Black Metal: hail the new dawn...

Song Meaning -
Jonas addresses,"Well, it isn't about suicide bombers specifically, rather about how some people are willing to sacrifice anything in the name of what they believe in. Be it for religious, revolutionary or other reasons... Interesting theme indeed but difficult to write about. No propaganda folks."

Soil's Song

Music by Swano, Axelsson
Lyrics by Axelsson
Arranged by Swano, Axelsson, Larsson
Keyboards by Swano

Twisted mind, malesting your own seed.
Yeah, bastard father you make me puke!!!
"Your own flesh and blood"
You're killing your own breed to satisfy
Your macabre needs. She's afraid to tace
The outside worl.A well-known hell before
an unknown paradise. She's trying to kill her
memories, but she ain't got no weapon!!!
Yeah! She lives awaiting the end.
Livin' hell
She's doomed to descend!

Livin' Hell!
Living With The Spirits Of Death
Living Hell, Living Dead, Living Dead!

The way she's living, the way it is.
She doesn't know anyother life.
Don't tell anyone "Be daddys little girl"
Scared to silence--scared to talk,
noone listens, noone hears.
They won't believe their livin' lies...
She only knows one way to end it:
To stop to funktion, to make it end

To be released on July 22nd 2016 through Art of Propaganda. 

Art of Propaganda is proud to present the highly anticipated third album of Harakiri for the Sky, III: Trauma. Released in 2014 by Art of Propaganda, Harakiri for the Sky's Aokigahara reaped widespread critical acclaim for its startling synthesis of skyscraping post-rock textures and emotive black metal fury. Breathtaking and torturous in equal measures, the highwater mark that Aokigahara set has somehow been eclipsed by III: Trauma. Immediately, the album kicks off with an 11-minute epic titled "Calling the Rain," and indeed do Harakiri for the Sky summon forces both natural and supernatural. As the record winds through seven more equally scintillating epics, III: Trauma swells and swirls, crests and crushes, effortlessly dancing between genres with nary an ounce of self-consciousness. Not for nothing is the album titled Trauma: the emotional landscapes the band travail scrape both the direst depths and fleetingly blissful extremes of the human psyche.

But, as masterful as the band are at this point, this is not new territory for Harakiri for the Sky; they have been a steady work in progress from the start. Founded in 2011 in Vienna, Austria, the aim of Harakiri for the Sky has always been to create a unique mixture of melancholy and aggression, madness and meaning, and wrapped in alternately manic/mellow songs that bridged black metal and atmospheric post-rock. The band was initially begun as a studio project by erstwhile Bifröst member M. S. joined by vocalist/lyricist J. J., and has recently been expanded to a live lineup. With that lineup secured, Harakiri for the Sky then embarked upon four successful European tours with the likes of A Forest of Stars, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, and Agrypnie among others, encompassing over 20 countries to date. Now prepared to release the masterwork III: Trauma, Harakiri for the Sky will take this volatile-yet-beautiful new concoction on the road for the remainder of 2016: massive sound-walls and the barest of emotions await!

RAVENCULT |  Hail Revenge

THE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED FOURTH ALBUM FROM PROGRESSIVE METAL'S MOST INNOVATIVE FORCE AND KSCOPE'S TOP STREAMING ARTIST - INCLUDES THE SINGLES "LUMINARY" AND "SMILE"

ORDER: https://tesseract.lnk.to/Sonder

"TesseracT sound more inventive and unique than ever before" - The Guardian

"Conceptually "Luminary" explores a deep and devouring sense of insignificance, which ties into the overall theme and meaning behind 'Sonder'. Musically the song is a further development and exploration of tone, diversified instrumentation alongside stirring and considered lyrics" - Dan Tompkins (vocals)

The pioneers of an ever-evolving metal scene, TesseracT, are set to release their fourth studio album entitled Sonder, following 2015's worldwide acclaimed Polaris. The group are the label's most streamed artist with 40+million Spotify streams, of which 13.8m are for their Polaris and following EP Errai releases, and have already featured in multiple playlists, including: Kickass Metal, New Metal Tracks, Metal Domination and Got Djent.

Originally formed as a studio project by guitarist Acle Kahney, TesseracT are band full of melody, dynamics and groove, they sit outside the bounds of any genre specificity to truly create a sound that has always been pioneering and creative; an unstoppable force of off-kilter riffs, soaring melodies and disorientating atmospherics.

The band's vision quickly translated to success, with a collective 100,000 sales in North America alone. Polaris reached Billboard's #10 (Hard Rock) & #57 (Current Albums) charts and #9 in the UK (Indie Albums) and #7 (Rock and Metal), and have seen continued support from worldwide press.

Sonder adds significant firepower to the band's arsenal, blending the abrasive and progressive tone from their first two records with the accessibility of Polaris. It also includes field recordings submitted by the band's online fan base, giving an insight into the complex and varied lives of others; a theme which is also referenced in the artwork, designed by bassist Amos Williams, and the wider concept of self-identity within a population full of complex and vivid lives. For the first time, TesseracT acquired the talents of a choir for their album, produced and conducted by Randy Slaugh and recorded at Soularium Studios, Utah. Sonder was recorded in the UK at 4D Sounds, Celestial Sounds and Project Studios, and engineered by the band and mastered by Acle Kahney. 

Building on their phenomenal success with worldwide tours in support of Polaris over two years – as headliners and as special guests for the likes of Megadeth and Meshuggah, Devin Townsend Project and Gojira – TesseracT are supporting Sonder on a 2018 worldwide tour, that will take the band to North America in Spring, major European summer festivals, Australia in late Summer and the UK & Europe in Winter.

David Draiman of Disturbed, and ex-Filter guitarist Geno Lenardo recently collaborated together to construct Device. The album takes strands from hard rock, industrial, and electronica, and as a result, Device's self-titled debut album for Warner Bros. Records is a focused, fierce, and fiery new machine. 

It all started while the Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum powerhouse Disturbed was on hiatus, Lenardo reached out to Draiman to collaborate on a song for the Underworld: Awakening soundtrack in late 2011. As soon as the singer heard the music, he was both intrigued and inspired. The duo then cut "Hunted" in Chicago. Even though the track didn't ultimately make the final soundtrack album due to circumstances beyond their control, Draiman urged that they hold on to it and continue writing music. Soon, they had an entire album's worth of material. 

Upon finishing the record, Draiman enlisted Evanescence drummer Will Hunt and Dope and Rock of Ages guitarist Virus. Both Hunt and Virus jumped at the chance to be a part of this powerhouse trio. The three comprise the touring incarnation of Device.

Awaken the beast
No turning back or defeat
Reanimated monstrosity 
Rise to slay the weak! 

Rise! 
Slay the fucking weak! 

No longer dormant, awaken the beast 
Return of supremacy at it's finest 
No turning back now, no chance of defeat 
Here to reclaim our domination 

Wreak havoc across the globe
Crush, structures collapsing from force
Burn, paths of a destructive blaze
Kill, all who stand unworthy

*Spinal cord submission, dissecting the nerves
*Carving out the throat
*Sever the resistance, and smother every corpse
*Both friend and foe

Rise!
Slay the fucking weak!

*Flooding of endless pain
Finally setting in
*Refuse to stand down
And feel the wrath 
*Flooding of endless pain
Finally setting in
*Refuse to stand down
And feel the wrath 

Feel the wrath!

Crush through the opposition, churning debris
Death to the enemy, a slaughter regime 
Smash through the competition, sickening beast
Death to the enemy, a slaughter regime

Awaken the beast
No turning back or defeat
Reanimated monstrosity
Rise to slay the weak!

Armed for an onslaught, blitzkrieg 
Malicious creations, Time to destroy! 

Mutilating corpses as they’re fucking crushing through the town 
Smashing skulls and severed spines, lacerating limbs, they cry… 

Why? (Must I die?) 
Force-fed iron spikes 

Biomechanical mutations, synthesizing blood for fuel 
Iron plates, seeping human plasma 
Harvested flesh, stitched together, for increased armor! 

Cybernetic abominates forged 
Of metal and flesh from the deceased 
Arise new disciples of demise 
To commence destruction of this world
