Byker Grave present HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY SUNKEN plus guests Saturday 21st November 2026 Newcastle University Students Union Doors 7pm

In the past decade, HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY have become pioneers of the post black metal movement, gained a significant worldwide following with "III: Trauma" and even entered the German charts on #4 with their latest album "Maere". Ever since their conception in 2011, the Austrian duo has drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into the maelstrom of their melancholy, self-hate and anger, and toured relentlessly in Europe, Asia and North and South America. With M.S.‘s captivating guitar melodies and J.J.‘s lyrics, ridden with trauma, delirium and loss, their unique mixture of extreme metal and post rock has created an inescapable void. HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY are:M.S. - guitar, bass, songwritingJ.J. - vocals, lyrics

Danish atmospheric black metal band SUNKEN have been unfolding their dark, melancholic, depressive soundscapes and ethereal melodies on the European scene since 2012. Exploring topics such as hopelessness, apathy, depression and anger, Sunken’s music convey deep and personal emotions resulting in an all-encompassing and overwhelmingly immersive live-experience.
