Additional notes
Red Harvest have been known to repeatedly update their logo, and evolve it, to visually represent the constant evolution in their music and also their fondness of liking to surprise people.
Musically, Red Harvest has been quite unpredictable. Their first album presented an avant-garde thrash metal sound (the band were first sown in a thrash tribute band playing Slayer (US) covers) while preceding albums presented a more tribal influence ala Neurosis (US). In more recent times, with the induction of samples/synthesizers member LRZ, the band became more electronic oriented with black/death metal influences, dubbed to many as extreme industrial metal.
Ofu Kahn and LRZ appeared on Zyklon's 'Aeon' album. LRZ also created the intro and outro synth on Darkthrone's "Hate Them" as well as the intro for Sardonic Wrath, as well as producing the debut album from V:28.
Ofu Kahn was officially diagnosed as having volatile paranoia.
