I Stilhed

David Fischer While I genuinely enjoy Afsky's approach to black metal, I Stilhed sports peak performance in the most stripped-down of ways: acoustic guitar only, letting Afsky songs shine in new and vastly different splendour. Being mostly stuck in the black metal swamp, I was unaware of needing this until I heard it. This is a great way to zone out and breathe, to take a step back from modern day's everpresent hectic and let the world around just keep turning. A very welcome, soothing change of pace. Favorite track: Angst Outro.
Wisdoms End

Wisdoms End I highly appriciate the black metal productions which just spread a few accoustic passages or songs into their albums. It adds way more range into the listening experience and do not lack impression regarding to the louder parts.

In this case, Afsky did the title justice and it contains 8. wonderfull acoustic only songs.
I wish I could play guitar and dream away, playing like that.

Ippocalyptica I was not as floored as everyone else by Afsky’s last full-length album, but I adore this stripped-down, instrumental, acoustic-only EP that, despite being very mellow and melancholic, is actually quite (black) metal as fuck. An “electrified” version of this album, with percussion and vocals, would gain considerably more attention but would also lose the captivating minimalism that makes this special. This is beautiful in a way that no metal sub-genre other than BM could ever capture. Favorite track: Altid Veltilfreds Intro.

Gabriel Tamas TO be fair, I was expecting more from this album, hoping it will be an actual acoustic version of AFSKY's BM tracks. This wasn't the case, even though the album itself has a nice feeling to it, ideal for a break away from constant BM listening sessions. Perhaps the next one will also future vocals, or acoustic rearrangements of the tracks. Favorite track: Solityde.
