Harakiri For The Sky To Release New Live Album "Reliving The Trauma – Live At Theater Akzent"

Austrian post-black metal trailblazers Harakiri For The Sky have announced the December 4th release of their new live album, Reliving the Trauma – Live at Theater Akzent, via AOP Records. Captured during an exclusive performance at Vienna's Theater Akzent in May 2026, the recording commemorates the 10th anniversary of the band's acclaimed third album, III: Trauma, offering a powerful retrospective of one of the defining releases in their catalog.

Originally released in 2016, "III: Trauma" marked a pivotal chapter in Harakiri For The Sky's evolution, further establishing their distinctive fusion of atmospheric black metal, post-rock and deeply personal lyricism. A decade later, the band returned to the material for an intimate theater performance in their native Austria, revisiting the music that helped shape their identity and connect with audiences around the world.

Featuring eight tracks, "Reliving The Trauma – Live At Theater Akzent" captures the emotional intensity and sweeping dynamics that have become hallmarks of the band's live performances. From the haunting melodies of "Calling the Rain" and "Funeral Dreams" to the cathartic weight of "Thanatos," "This Life As A Dagger" and "Bury Me," the recording presents a compelling portrait of a band whose music remains as affecting today as it was a decade ago.

Recorded live by David Pilz and mixed and mastered by Kohlekeller Studio, the album preserves the raw atmosphere and immersive experience of the Vienna performance. The concert was also filmed by Julian Joy / Lauser Films, with the release arriving across physical, audio and video streaming formats on December 4th.
