idols of gold-plated excrement
rendered spurious by a hammer so real
habitués kneeling delirious
parched tongues begging for peace
heed the blood
it’s voice furious
pulse erupting
invoke the flood
render them spurious
sky collapsing
altars of arid schizophrenia
worm-ridden whores to the wind
harlots of the commandments
sandblasted lungs gasping for truth
washed away by tides of blood
cleansed are they in times of flood
let us pray for what once was
deserts of dogmatic futility
awash with a forgotten past
mono-god in ruinous corpulence
humble prey in the throes of reality
summits drown
tides have turned
lies and drought
washed away, forever purged
thief and fool
king and coward
no man shall
walk away on this day of flood

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

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

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
