lyrics

How come this light reveals none of its source and nature, as it guides the thirsty through lands of drought to new springs? In purest suffering lies purest insight. A faint gleam of bottomless perdition. Many are called yet none will be chosen. Cold sun shines upon their wanderings. How come the voice of a shining angel is silent and feeble, as it sings the radiant glory and splendor of high heavens? From scorched foundations to ashen havens. From withered temples to vacant thrones. In glacial wastes, beneath empty skies, a monument of decay stands tall amidst ruin. Scorn and abhorrence. Virtue is a farce. The shepherd spits at its flock. There comes the only revelation - a mocking laughter of the fellow fallen. In purest suffering lies purest insight. A faint gleam of bottomless perdition. Many are called yet none will be chosen. Cold sun shines upon their wanderings. How come the lord delights in transience, as we perish and fade in mere presence of his light? How come these springs to ease our thirst flow with the tears of our beloved?

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 479 fans who also own “To ashen havens”

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

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
