"Right there before his very eyes was a window into another version of reality; like a looking-glass only looking back upon himself basking in the triumph of succeeding in his life's work. The collider beeped again and another window appeared; now looking upon a new version of himself, but in this world, the experiment had failed. With each beep, another window appeared, each time revealing further, more extreme divergences and with each new world the windows grew in size."

AFSKY's second album "Ofte Jeg drømmer mig død" is a journey through the cultural history of Denmark, focusing on poems and lyrics by well-known and lesser-known Danish writers such as H.C. 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.
On "Ofte Jeg Drømmer Mig Død" 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.

The debut album of AFSKY is a cold atmospheric representative that can be clearly assigned to the DSBM genre. The doomy folk and classical music elements already appear here and there, such as the guest contribution of Amalie Bruun (Myrkur) on the nykelharpa and clean vocals - but the raw coldness is most present here.
Written at a time of frustration, sadness and dark emotions, the lyrics lead to a haunting and harrowing exploration of the various shades of suffering, but also reflect the magnificence of nature - as eternal inspiration and shelter.
This album expresses exactly what Afsky and Sorg stand for namely: disgust and sadness. The cradle and the cornerstone that bear all the hallmarks of Afsky in their original and pristine sound.
Founded in the northern Italian region of Piedmont back in 2015 but somehow left behind due to committing to other bands, the band was revamped as a duo back in 2020. Although this is their first release, it was immediately taken into consideration for a CD release because of the quality that both Ruf and Avait put into recording the nine tracks of this album. Owing much to the style of the early mediterranean bands, VRIM quickly evolves into something of its own with great melodies although being overall very aggressive and militaristic in feel. The lyrics, all written in the old Piedmontese language, deal mostly with the history of that particular Subalpine region.
