Sorg

Danish black metal band Afsky is the sideproject of Solbrud guitarist/vocalist Ole Pedersen Luk. Afsky make a big impression on their debut LP covering a lot of ground and treading the line between traditional black metal, atmospheric black metal and depressive black metal, with some additional influences seeping in to provide some subtle nuances. It sometimes has that abrasive second-wave tonality and riffing that wouldn't sound out of place on a Taake record, while on the other hand it alternates between icy assaults and slower atmospheric/depressive sections that have a lot of depth to offer listeners. Afsky means disgust or detest in Danish and is a mix of classic blackmetal with some folk and doom inspirations. The vibe is raw, cold and hard hitting, yet filled with a beautiful melancholic atmosphere. Includes a guestappearance from Myrkur.
