Opening, flight
Corridors end in doorways
Above plateaus
Everything is apocalypse
Branches angular
Perpendicular to mud
Burning fitfully
A pall of smoke, lightless
Once creek, today mere gulch
Wetland sodden; cracked grey now
The bones of flightless birds
Thoughtlessly scattered
Parched in the dry season
Drowned in the wet season
It was not always thus
Invidious one
You unwittingly seek
Profound fire
A primitive alchemy
Purification
This grove has dried and died
With time it will crumble altogether
The completion of life
Bloodlessness
Logos spermatikos
Departure and return
A course of filth
The cycle of the wyrm
Grandiose hideousness
Winter trees aching
A spring ratcheted to
Near breaking
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
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
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
I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
