key to the kingdoms mystery turned to unlock the secrets of such essence.
take the great altar of marbled stone drink from the chalice of emperors.
Fio Deus
we are the kings of kings. whose will is imposed unrepentant to whisper those silent words.
a chorus of gasping breaths pierced by dagger.
a gorge upon the crimson altar.
assassins of disharmony, ravagers of lost souls.
from beyond familiar worldly realms ,we are tyrants casting all who oppose into fire unending.
idols fall and shrines crumble beneath our trudge,
accept servitude to sons of chaos.
my kingdom is hidden in firmament, fog and soot.
a fortress of conviction, and vile cruelty in death and far beyond.
where dusk is welcomed in ritual everlasting, and dawn trembles before these walls.
invoke the black dragons blaze, for he is the tyrant of soil and vivacity, the devourer of radiance.
a carnal being of shapeless worlds.
drink from his chalice and befall kings of kings.
fio tyrranus
command them with flamed spears of supremacy.
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
