With most of the original Icelandic lyrics were written by his father, Ásgeir’s release received critical acclaim, reaching number one, gaining triple platinum certification and becoming the the best selling debut album in Iceland. Acclaim in his homeland continued, as Ásgeir won the Album of The Year of 2012 at the Icelandic Music Awards. Similar heights were reached outside of Iceland, as Dýrð í dauðaþögn reached number 34 on the Danish album charts and was also nominated for Best Album of the Year at the 2012 Nordic Music Prize.
With help from prolific artist John Grant, an English reissue of Dýrð í dauðaþögn was released on One Little Indian in 2014, titled ‘In The Silence’. The album charted at number 8 in Australia, alongside making waves in Belgium, the Netherlands, France and the UK.
