A BlackMetal[=/=]FolkMetal band hailing from Courtenay, Vancouver Island, the two-piece outfit Skagos has earned substantial acclaim for a slim discography highlighted by debut album ''Ást'', a split with Music/{{Panopticon}}, and sophomore effort ''Anarchic''. Skagos' songs are fairly clean by black metal standards, with lots of influence from FolkMusic, PostRock, ProgressiveRock, and {{Ambient}} Music.

* PostRock: A major influence on the band. Beyond that, movements four and five of ''Anarchic'' (side B of the digital release; the end of track 1 and the start of track 2 of the cassette and CD releases) are a straight example of this genre, with no traces of metal anywhere to be found.

* NonAppearingTitle: Most of them. The subtitle of "Anamnesis II" appears in the song, as does "The Drums Pound Every Night in a Glorious Celebration of Life". Other titles (i.e. "Blossoms Will Sprout from the Carcass") reflect the content of the lyrics, but don't appear directly.

Added DiffLines:

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Colossal Spell" is misprinted on some issues of ''Ást'' as "Colossal Spel". According to the band, this was a typo. The most recent printing of the album (the vinyl edition) has it spelt correctly.

* EpicRocking: All over the place, but ''Anarchic'' has to take the cake, with seven movements totalling up to over sixty-six minutes of music. Depending on the release format, it has either two or three tracks, although a particularly enterprising individual can take the two versions and stitch them together into a continuous suite of music because the song divisions are in different places. As with several other Cascadian bands, though, it's rare for a song to last less than ten minutes.
