Åskog is a newly formed black metal band residing in Vänersborg, Sweden.
Åskog is
thematically based on the cold and harsh brutality of nature. While other bands typically glorify a romantic vision of hell, prance about in cloaks chanting magical spells or sing about war, Åskog believe the darkness is much closer to home.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

Saw them live and was taken away! Breath taking melodic black at its best. Just a deep dive into Nirvana 🖤

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder

Deeply eerie and atmospheric music from Sweden that lives at the shadowy corner of black metal & dungeon synth.

A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way.
