Maldito666nyrst me encanta esta banda desde el 2013 Favorite track: Charon (Upon The Winds Of Lamentations).

Cultureplastic This song is written so well. Definitely my favorite thing released by this artist. Reminds me of 90s symphonic black metal but brought up to speed with the modern times. Almost has a Windri feel to it at times.

lyrics

A distant sound of water rippling
A faint disturbance that moves the foggy air
From the caverns that rise before me
A shadow dances through the murk
As one who dares to traverse these waters
I too must pay to cross these shores

A dark procession of orderly souls
One by one they board the sacred boat
A journey far across those whirlpools
Beyond the reach of Apollo's light
Waters as filthy as the old man himself
His beard and clothes reek of ages old

Aeschylus, Seven Against Thebes, 854 ff:
“But sail upon the wind of lamentation, my friends,
and about your head row with your hands' rapid stroke
in conveyance of the dead...”

Euripides, Alcestis, 252 ff:
“I see him there at the oars of his little boat in the lake,
the ferryman of the dead, Kharon, with his hand upon the oar
and he calls me now. ‘What keeps you? Hurry...’”

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
