How would you measure ruin? How would you assess fall? How would you separate sins when all bear the same mark? This sacred desert is quiet. Lost hopes flicker in the sand. Only roamed by fiends who seek to corrupt pneuma and prey on sarx. Grey prince is crowned. Soul aberration. Un-person, un-einheit. Idle zero. With golden nails it cuts through cold flesh, to assemble a face of its own. Cracked shards of forgotten dreams to substitute the rift of its own. The eternal fire runs high and vast upon bones of the righteous. As brethren rise and brethren fall, it is hard to miss that it is crowded in lowest pits of despair. To lose all and regret none.
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
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
