Awake in a silent blue twilight
Lustered eyes, hypnotized
A luminous night
The wine, that one drinks with the eyes
Silent and all but paralyzed
Draw on the breath of nightfall
Under gravity’s spell
The moon spills light into dark waters
Stillness, sinister, crystal clear awakening
open hands in a wordless prayer
A chilling pulse violently beating within
The silent horizon
Light transmitting through open hands
A glowing arch in a dark room
Present the violent sublime
Nightfall, and wildness becomes my art
Hear voices from far beyond
Swing a hangman’s noose, sway my heart
I feel
Now I see beyond
It goes beyond
Let streams flow, unrestricted
In my remaining time
The silent horizon
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
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 seems to get better after every listen. And I have stopped counting how many times I have listened. The pinnacle of atmospheric black metal is close to being achieved; it's definitely quintessential. M Elliot
