found it in the drab of dusk
inside the grove by the ruined road
a meeting point of souls
old and pulled together close
to the conjuring
far from the machine
and all the hells of the mind
and all the other slaves, whores
and merchants of such kind
these woods sing to me a song
an ode to pale light in swelling darkness
ripe with vampires bleeding oil
coiling trunks, they move to shape a doorway
oaken mouth yawn agape
once I pass, I feel the wounds may wither
give the body to the woods
cruel ice covers the earth
all of the engines are off
tools and devices lost
let's leave this house to decay
there is only distance to cross
in my youth I zealously donned the robes of sloth
of foolish pride and fever for all things undone
burn in your mind this image of a world
as real as anything else
hidden in the rustle of pine and oak, the temple stands
where all the senses awaken
wither the veil that suffocates
offer the host the wreckage
what she can salvage she surely will
things without a meaning
taste, smell or feel
words without a substance
with those you were besieged
see those before you
swimming in the froth of
jaws devouring all
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
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
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
total brain melter! Krallice decides to take their music in a slightly different direction, introducing extremely chaotic and technical riffs amidst super complicated drum patterns. heavy Behold the Arctopus vibes from this one. n. charlene excelsia
