The wolf moon rises, in the east. A rusted essence in the air. Drawn and quartered, 666 hours of merciless torture. Bloodthirsty vermin unleashed from their rusted cages. Tails entangled in one rotting mass clamouring towards the bound malefactor. Buckets dripping crimson. Collection of blood to power the war machine. Bled, bred, milked and fed. Kept alive as stock. Human life, devoid of meaning, reduced to writhing offal. Face eaten away by rats, devoured by vermin. Drawn and quartered, 666 hours of merciless torture. Tails entangled in one rotting mass. Skull left smiling eternally.
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
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
Folk-influenced heavy metal; as the title suggests, this LP is all about home, described through landscapes, literature and paintings. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 6, 2017
