Ofte Jeg Drommer Mig Dod

Description

AFSKY's second album "Ofte Jeg drommer mig dod" is a journey through the cultural history of Denmark, focusing on poems and lyrics by well-known and lesser-known Danish writers such as HC Andersen, Emil Aarestrup and others - reflections on the eternal misery in the age of industrialization, when people were considered "human material", trapped in everyday life and forced to work hard for the upper class until death. To express this, a mixture of icy, nordic black metal with folk and doom elements is conjured up by Afsky, crowned by the melancholic and emotional interpretation and performance.

"Ofte Jeg Drommer Mig Dod" is a real underground gem, as AFSKY have managed to combine timeless poetry of the 19th century with their own timeless music - which draws attention to the injustices in today's world and even shows frightening parallels.

"pure black metal aesthetic" - Angry Metal Guy

" A substantial force to get lost in" - Veil of Sound

"delivering six sinuous and scintillating tracks of classic Black Metal sound and fury, heavy in both atmosphere and melody, which hearken back all the way to the early days of the genre." - No Clean Singing

"'Ofte Jeg Drommer Mig Dod' is a release from the heart and deserves far more listens than this reviewer has already given it. A gift that keeps on giving." - Devilution.dk

"easily transport the listener to otherworldly realms" - Wonderbox Metal

"The album explores many sonic territories, but also dark territories of the human soul, as indicated by the title that translates for "Often I dream of me dead"; it is an introspective and personal album, in a word, a sublime masterpiece." - Unholy Black Metal Magzine
