fertile is the mind tilled with steel
idle the hand abandoned in drought
dream seed in antediluvian abysm
eyes to be cauterized with light
rumblings 'neath the frosts of terra nova
skin cleansed by a sea of icarian fire
fates shift 'tween the sundered palms of belief
strange fruits accorded the furrows of id
face aflame
afront eureka
flesh be tamed
by the gaze of medusa
shattered sky
blazing orion
the shadow yield
existential explosion
i am the night
i am the fist
a thunderbolt of flaming wisdom
a hammer at dawn
a kiss at dusk
bequeath thine womb and thine heart
may we ascend unto the stars
psyche be ye rocked by thunderous laws
scorched throat when breathing the spears of the gods
pillars of oak fuck the hymen of ego
pantheon laid waste by a mortal orgasm
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
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
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
