Afsky returns with _Om hundrede år_ their third release after 2020's
_Ofte jeg drømmer mig død_ and 2018's _Sorg_. When I wrote about their
sophomore effort a few years ago I noted that while it was a great
album I had a hard time not comparing it and feeling it came up short
against the magnificent debut. I still feel that _Sorg_ is an album
which will be hard to top, but with _Om hundrede år_ I don't
immediately feel I need to scratch that _Sorg_ itch after a listen.
Musically Afsky straddles the atmospheric and DSBM space, while a band
like None crush with pure despair and hopelessness, Afsky relies more
on mournful and melancholy riffs to create a funereal atmosphere. If
you liked the None album, I highly recommend this as the chaser as
they are in many ways similar yet stylistically different to
complement each other perfectly.
