The song

Napalm Records reads the title as "You die, I die," and the song opens the album. The label says it "sets the tone with a pulsing industrial sound that underscores somber lyrics." It is the first video from the record, following the first single, "Find What You Love And Let It Kill You," which Apple lists from September 30, 2026.

The album

Napalm Records lists APORIA for January 22, 2027, and the label notes that the date "also marks Chris' birthday." The album has 11 tracks, with guest spots from Erk Aicrag on "Skipped A Beat," Ryan Shuck on "You Are Not What You See" and SWISS on "Hallo Depression."

The label describes the record as "a sonic diary" that explores "more modern electronics, eclectic soundscapes, and synth-driven realms beyond his main band's sound." Formats listed in the release include a box set with a bonus CD, several vinyl editions, a 2-CD digisleeve, tape and digital.

It follows Harms's solo debut, 1980, which came out in February 2025 and, per the label, entered the Top 10 of the German album charts. For that record, Harms worked entirely with 1980s gear, the label says.

Napalm labelmates Prong also turned up on KAZI with a new commission. More from the rock desk.

My read

Putting the darkest title first and timing the album to his own birthday tells you Harms is treating APORIA as a personal record, not a side project. That makes "U† I†" the right door in.
