lyrics

Thus far inwards come few in this naught and this nowhere. He who seeks the cross of Christ and falls alone, remains alone in his fall. Thus far inwards come few in oblivion and all have failed. He who seeks the cross of Christ shall fall and remain alone in his fall. I am weary. I am drained. My prayer is adrift, my zeal bygone. I am forsaken. I am lost. I am open for it to dwell. An epiphany in starving darkness. The hunger and the absence. A new sun, whose rays are frozen and barbed. Oceans of stasis. Beyond Gehinnom. Void comes, void claims. Scio cui credidi. My heart and life have become a grotesque sanctuary wherein it manifests with a glimpse of its void. Through every fiber of these putrid lungs each word resounds with bleak confidence and ominous faith. Scio cui credidi. An epiphany in starving darkness. The hunger and the absence. Beyond Gehinnom. Void comes, void claims. I shall rise high this new heart of stone, forever closed to his love. A burden, yes, and a bitter reward for adoration of the three nails and true communion with God! I am transformed. I am given purpose. Scio cui credidi.

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 479 fans who also own “Asceticism and passion”

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

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo

With hearts toward none
by Mgła

supported by 362 fans who also own “Asceticism and passion”

This is, in my opinion, Mgła's ("Migwah's") best work, projecting a loathing of Life so feverish that it becomes palpable. Sugammadex

The cover image makes me shudder every time I look at it. Burned this one to a CD, just because it feels right. The mastering on this bit the spot, especially the drums and bass. Robert Chitoiu
