The observance of casts, order and institutes will not prevail in the Kali age / Marriages in this age will not be conformable to the ritual / The laws that regulate the conduct of husband and wife will be disregarded / And oblations to the gods with fire no longer be offered
Laying and struggling in decay
Vital energy slowly fading away
Just witnessed too much of your
Five thousand year one-way path
Action’s been dropped
No need for doing anything else
The tiger’s getting weary and
won’t lead me anywhere
Wives will desert their husbands, when they lose their property
He who gives away much money will be the master of men; and family descent will no longer be a title of supremacy
Trying to give these apes a chance
They actually don’t deserve
Destined to be crucified just for showing my pity
Doesn’t matter how long I did it
As Vishnu’s putting off the end,
Am I getting closer to Christ in suffering?
Whish I got closer to Christ...
Women will follow their inclinations, and be ever fond of pleasure
Men will become the impure followers of impious and heretical doctrines
WHEN THE CHILD IS ABOUT TO BE BORN, ITS FACE IS BESMEARED BY EXCREMENT, URINE, BLOOD, MUCUS, AND SEMEN; ITS ATTACHMENT TO THE UTERUS IS RUPTURED BY THE PRÁJÁPATI WIND; IT IS TURNED HEAD DOWNWARDS, AND VIOLENTLY EXPELLED FROM THE WOMB BY THE POWERFUL AND PAINFUL WINDS OF PARTURITION; AND THE INFANT LOSING FOR A TIME ALL SENSATION, WHEN BROUGHT IN CONTACT WITH THE EXTERNAL AIR, IS IMMEDIATELY DEPRIVED OF ITS INTELLECTUAL KNOWLEDGE. THUS BORN, THE CHILD IS TORTURED IN EVERY LIMB, AS IF PIERCED WITH THORNS, OR CUT TO PIECES WITH A SAW, AND FALLS FROM ITS FETID LODGMENT, AS FROM A SORE, LIKE A CRAWLING THING UPON THE EARTH. UNABLE TO FEEL ITSELF, UNABLE TO TURN ITSELF, IT IS DEPENDENT UPON THE WILL OF OTHERS FOR BEING BATHED AND NOURISHED. LAID UPON A DIRTY BED, IT IS BITTEN BY INSECTS AND MUSQUITOES, AND HAS NOT POWER TO DRIVE THEM AWAY. MANY ARE THE PANGS ATTENDING BIRTH, AND MANY ARE THOSE WHICH SUCCEED TO BIRTH; AND MANY ARE THE SUFFERINGS WHICH ARE INFLICTED BY ELEMENTAL AND SUPERHUMAN AGENCY IN THE STATE OF CHILDHOOD. ENVELOPED BY THE GLOOM OF IGNORANCE, AND INTERNALLY BEWILDERED, MAN KNOWS NOT WHENCE HE IS, WHO HE IS, WHITHER HE GOETH, NOR WHAT IS HIS NATURE; BY WHAT BONDS HE IS BOUND; WHAT IS CAUSE, AND WHAT IS NOT CAUSE; WHAT IS TO BE DONE, AND WHAT IS TO BE LEFT UNDONE; WHAT IS TO BE SAID, AND WHAT IS TO BE KEPT SILENT; WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHAT IS INIQUITY; IN WHAT IT CONSISTS, OR HOW; WHAT IS RIGHT, WHAT IS WRONG; WHAT IS VIRTUE, WHAT IS VICE.
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
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
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
This searing, four-track split from Bog Wizard (Michigan) and Dust Lord (Colorado) pairs stoner rock riffs with hard fantasy themes. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
