"Generally, black metal strives to be inaccessible to the mainstream and those who are not committed."

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"

Yeah, I can do random, out of context quotes too

You taking yourself seriously?

I thought it was obvious that this isnt BM as it is mainstream. Read the qoute again.
What makes this BM for you?

It isn't mainstream. Mgla would not sell out a large venue like other mainstream bands do. Mgla have a large following in the circuit of black metal, but that doesn't make it mainstream.

That, though, is irrelevant, and one of the dumbest things I've seen written in a while. A band's genre is not defined by its popularity. By your definition, if Mgla had never gained as much popularity, but still made the same music, it would be classed as black metal. What the hell does being a slightly popular black metal band have to do with it suddenly becoming speed metal? A genre is a style of playing, not how many fans it has.

Does it have lyrics about Satan though? That's what really defines a band's music genre; lyrics.

^ Of course! What would be of viking and pagan metal bands if it wasn't the case?

I don't really know much about those genres. They would... be singing about chicks, booze, and college?

To me it seems like the lyrics are just plain and boring nihilism, with some touches of boredom.

Fuck me, so Bathory, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, and Akercocke are all black metal now? I'll be damned.

So it's blackened speed then? Or is it already speed metal only?

It's post-death rock guys. Oh, wait, I have my entertaining idiots mixed up.

Beast!

This album is full of mindblowing riffs and drums! First track is an extrem exercise of headbanging and pleasure.. This beauty is a pure masterpiece and the best album of the year for me. Thank you a lot Mgla.

Into the second song, and until now: SHIT! This is some really good black metal! Very interesting, good riffs, melodic yet raw.. I hope the rest of the album will be as good!

I am not into black metal at all, but this is freaking amazing. 10/10 I dare say.

How this won BM in the MSA over A Forest Of Stars, Leviathan, Volahn, and Mispyrming just has me baffled as fuck

Would I like this? Anyone? Anyone that knows me?

Aww man, that's pretty generic - I need to know if I have to waste 2 minutes of my life and press play on a bandcamp page or something, lol.

Well the ridiculous popularity and praise this band / album has gotten this / last year probably means it worth you trying it out for a few minutes. Maybe you'll see something in it that I don't.

That's more like it! Ok, Ima gonna check now...

Haters gonna hate. Mgwah rulez!

What is with black metal and non-existent bass. This sound is way to "fluffy". I like the riffs and melodies but there just isn't enough "oomph".

It's lighter than one of my feathered pillows lol.

Not enough psychedallic blackened trendcore

Maybe this video helps you to feel the sick atmosphere that this album produce so nicely. The repeated riffs that you saying that makes you bored, are actually the most usefull tool to reach this atmosphere approach. On 06.00 minute of this video is the absolute perfection of how horrifying sickness can be produced so damn well. If you cannot feel it, you propably ain't gonna like this album. It's the personal taste that makes the difference after all.
