Description
On his third album "Om hundrede ar" AFSKY mastermind Ole Luk processes his impressions about life and death and sings laments and odes for his family, and the time of past generations. Not only inspired by conventional black metal, Ole Luk draws influences and melodies from old Danish schlager music, classical music and 60s/70s pop into his music, creating an idiosyncratic atmosphere that has already become AFSKY's trademark.
Thus, "Om Hundrede Ar" tastefully blends elements of folk, depressive, second wave and atmospheric black metal into a soulful whole and is a captivating and touching work and structured release that creates a haunting atmosphere through melancholic acoustic elements, moody soundscapes and rich melodic presence. It is a touching journey into light and darkness that effortlessly treats black metal as if it is more than just a vessel for negative energies.

"Afsky's third album is a roaring success. Om Hundrede Ar contains a world of blackened soundscapes to explore, all in such a concise and efficient running time. Don't miss out on this if you're at all partial to the style." - Wonderbox Metal
Ole Pedersen Luk continues to capture his unique brand of depressive black metal with a meticulous songwriting panache, coupled with natural ability to portray emotion that few have mastered to this level. Light a candle and take this one in, as this is music meant to be savored. - Dead Rhetoric
"Go and listen to this album if you love melancholic/atmospheric black metal, and you won't be disappointed." - Black Metal Zine
"Afsky stand out as a force showing a different way to do things." - Meta Mead Metal
"Remember what it was like when you first heard certain Enslaved or Burzum records? Some of those releases magically transported you across mirrored lakes to haunted shores, soaring into the skies and over vast dense forests. Creating those atmospheric soundscapes is where Afsky shine." - Echoes & Dust
