Kampfar and Afsky

Afsky is a Danish black metal solo project by Ole Luk, also frontman of Solbrud, originating from Copenhagen. Known for blending atmospheric, depressive, folk, and doom metal, Afsky creates melancholic soundscapes with raw, emotive vocals. Notable albums include "Sorg", "Ofte jeg drømmer mig død", "Om Hundrede År", and "Fællesskab". Myrkur collaborated on "Sorg". Afsky's music often explores themes of life, death, and melancholy.
