a sickness of the heart
ravages the land
kissed by the curse
selfless, helpless
calling men to war
eros at arms
a rose for the sword
to bleed is to love
heed the archer
the thorax usurper
minds flee the cage
as she takes the stage
the rapture
her quiver brings
the furious rape
of my heartstrings
night tides of jejunity
grappling at shores of fidelity
the brazen sun of humility
blinds us, guides us
the cosmic pulse doth race
as fools keepeth the pace
and every fear will burn
upon the pyre of fates learned
lovers in sweet tyranny endureth their torments willingly
blooms in a desert
the victims of chance
mirage voyeurs
trapped in an hourglass
smite me down keen archer
for the end i have wed
lay me aside the brave
reckless, envious dead
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
