Harakiri For The Sky – Scorched Earth (2025) – Review

Harakiri for the Sky - Scorched Earth - Album Cover

Harakiri for the Sky‘s latest piece Maere left quite a splash over here back in 2021. Even if some of the crew had reservations about the piece. Since then, much water flowed under the bridge and the RMR crew remained stuck in this endless waiting loop.
