Onward I went in water
Birth of Venus, with a blank face
And a bland taste lingering on the tip of my tongue
Bite the apple and follow the morning star
When worlds fall and shadows grow
What is life if not freedom to live
I sensed the power of storms in the air
And I moved along with the wind in my back
Onward I went through fire
The heat, flames intoxicating, red and blue
Defiantly dancing, chaotic steps
The serpent’s daughter as one with the witch
But the song of a sword’s clinging metal
My wisdom stolen by works of gray
Deceived by the madmen
And my body was engulfed in the pyre
Marks burned in the soil
Narrating shackled lives, slit throats
Trembling limbs in liberating creation
Do my hands have value now?
Onward I went, through the bowels of the earth
Cold, faceless, mud covered creature
Brutal and beautifully unkempt
The smell of cloth, the sweat and the dirt
With grace I clean up the sickening stench
With light heart I breath the dampened air
(And I stomped the devil’s torso into the ground)

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
