About — The artist
Harakiri for the Sky is an Austrian post-black-metal band formed in Salzburg and Vienna in 2011 by vocalist JJ (Michael "V. Wahntraum" Kogler) and multi-instrumentalist Matthias Sollak, formerly of black metal band Bifröst. They have released six studio albums - Harakiri for the Sky (2012), Aokigahara (2014), III: Trauma (2016), Arson (2018), Mӕre (2021) and Scorched Earth (2025) - via German label AOP Records. The band has collaborated with numerous other bands in the post-black-metal scene, including Heretoir, Alcest, and Austere.
The band toured alongside Der Weg einer Freiheit and The Great Old Ones in March 2016, and played Summer Breeze Open Air later that year. For live performances, JJ and Sollak are joined by bassist Thomas Dornig, drummer Mischa Bruemmer, drummer Krimh, and guitarist Marrok. In 2017, they were nominated for the "Hard & heavy" category of the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards.
