Internal Harvest

An experimental dark post-metal project formed in late 2009 with the intent of tapping into the heart and soul of the deepest and darkest emotions, evoking internal pain and suffering using music as total artistic expression. Since it's formation, Internal Harvest have self-released 3 CDs (each sounding leagues above the one before it), played a handful of infamous gigs and are focused on progressing even further. The latest release, "Exit Signs" is the epitome of everything this band has endeavoured to achieve via recording up to this point.
