Harmful is a rock band from Frankfurt, Germany, founded in 1992 and frequently compared to early Helmet and more occasionally to Blackmail. The band has released eight albums to date, the first two and last three on independent labels (BluNoise, Steamhammer and Nois-o-lution), the third (which was produced by Dave Sardy, who also produced the latest album Cause) and fourth via BMG.
2007 saw the release of Harmful's seventh album, aptly titled 7, produced by Billy Gould, former member of Faith No More. Gould has subsequently joined the band as a fourth member and also took part in the tour supporting the album in early 2007.
In the past, Harmful has toured with bands like Slayer, Machine Head, Clutch, Paradise Lost, Therapy?, LaFaro and Helmet.
i daresay... youÂ're right Small protuberances all over my skin... will show you all the places where my heart has been
IÂ'm supposed to love you more than anything... but exhaustion causes our suffering
I daresay... youÂ're right I couldnÂ't believe your threats were for real... which made me swallow on your bitter pill
You and me another tragedy Expunge the shame of all those things you did and couldnÂ't see
All your lies, all of your beautiful lies... provide our human aftertaste
IÂ'm supposed to love you more than anything... but exhaustion causes our suffering
I daresay... youÂ're right I know you always wanted the best for me IÂ'll find the right words just believe me
You and me another tragedy Expunge the shame of all those things you did and couldnÂ't see
All your lies, all of your beautiful lies... provide our human aftertaste
DonÂ't want the things youÂ're offering me Sometimes youÂ're brave enough to see all kinds of human apathy
