After years of distancing myself from the black metal scene and community, my revisitations are brief and fleeting. I do not seek out new releases as fervently as I once did; old favorites have phased out of my habitual rotation, whether due to apathy or evolution of taste, I could not say. Yet, Mgła has remained a constant and daily indulgence. They're never further than the tip of my tongue in conversations of recommendations with the less initiated, yet open-minded pursuant of music?and I consider their entire discography to be of utmost importance in not only black metal, but in the entirety of metal's more extreme subsets.

The important thing is Mgla doesn't need to exist because UADA are better, folks. With it, you need to deal.

I prefer Iceland in that case Lux Occulta, Vesania, Blaze Of Perdition, Thy Worshiper, Slavland are diferent story, I prefer Polish BM from mid and late 90's even I hate behemoth whit big passion, but respect narger work and attitude, but love his solo project

This has to be easily the best black metal album in years Imo, it has everything that makes a black metal masterpiece, those quality hypnotic riffs that have alot of melody to them, like the early 90's black metal scene, it has the right blend of heaviness and the right mid tempo pace throughout, and the drumming is very good and consistent, the vocals are nothing special but no real concern, because the album stays consistent and excellent all the way through. This is definitely one of the best black metal bands around right now, and with so much potential.

It never ceases to amaze me how talented songwriters and musicians these guys actually are. Despite being rather simple and straightforward musicwise there really are many interesting things happening here, like the drummer making it sound like he has multiple extra limbs for example, that's some crazy skill right there. But then again there's amazing atmosphere and tensionbuilding, great use of repetition... just all around killer stuff.

Never understood the mass hype for this band - just sounds like pretty standard and, dare I say it, boring meloblack.

Truth. No point in listening to this when other similar BM bands like Uada and Bathuska (first album at any rate) do it far better.
