contorted and writhing in misshape and excrement,
infantile innocence swallowed digested through serpentine bowels.
thorn crimson crown hammer falls to nail, peel and mangled sanctified flesh
in symphonic structure to the piercing cries of his son.
created within the waters reflection of altered divinity.
wasted words to empty skies littered with the light that chars hallowed devotion
to be chastised into odious perdition.
i am many serpents coiled beneath my posture.
commanding in ecstatic domination from a throne of knotted limbs.
temples turn to ruins of abrahamic conviction.
stone shattered to pentads, illuminated by candlelight ninefold
to harness the silver radiance of the moon.
we are many, hordes to dominate the cursed soil,
to wander the night immortal.
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
Absolutely apocalyptic atmospheric black metal full of towering, epic songs that stretch all the way out to the gloomy, misty horizon. Bandcamp New & Notable May 22, 2023
Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
