HARM.icu - Hakujona

SOLD OUT

What you’re witnessing here is nothing short of a cultural watershed. A true touchstone moment. The birth of a new wave, and another branch in the phylogenetic tree of extreme metal subgenres. I’m brave enough to see the future - but I’m also smart enough to know that, much like young Marty McFly, maybe you’re not ready for it. It’s HARM.icu!

From Alex Hordeman ofCRØØK andC O L U M B I N E and with members ofThe Milwaukee Protocol in tow, HARM.icu is here with theirdebut EP, in hand, on vinyl, for the first and last time. That’s right! A fixed unit debut, insane! They’ve got a full lineup, and will be on the road here shortly - you’re witnessing the birth of a new band!

HARM is a band that is almost instantly defined by their visual identity, and it’s was kind of a “chicken or egg” type deal over here. Alex had some sickness on what he wanted to do on theme, but the rest of this happened very organically through Bryan Wan. I’d been dying to dip my toe in to this kind of art domain, and this felt like the perfect title to do it on. Alex aka Downpour really took that and ran with it, and this aesthetic has just really filled out the website and everything else. Just a very concise visual experience here! Ah! And speaking of Hordeman, almost everything on this was done by him to be honest. Layout, and the mixing and mastering!

So there we have it. Here is the debut EP from HARM.icu. I hope you’ve been enjoying the single - I promise you the full body of work is just, even more punishing. It’s a debut EP in the most fun way I can muster - in hand, no represses! Grab this piece of scene history before it’s gone! This will be only 500 copies EVER across 6 variants:
