Stoðkerfi alls lífs er örkumla
því lífæðin fellur hver af annarri.
Skrýmslið hrifsar þær allar að sér
og sýgur ötult að sér
allt sem eitt sinn blómstraði.
Þar stendur það stælt á veikburða grundu
og étur undan sér jarðveginn.
Hún reynir af mesta megni
að berjast á móti
en ríkjandi Guð, með svipur á lofti
lætur eigi undan.
Hann hrifsar að sér loftið
sem æ verður af skornari skammti
en þrátt fyrir að rýmið þrengi og þrengi að
ríkir Hann enn með svipur á lofti.
II. With Whips Aloft
The endoskeleton of all life is crippled
for the quintessences of life fall one after another.
The monster seizes them all
and efficiently sucks to itself
everything that once prospered.
There it stands proudly on weak ground
and eats the soil from beneath itself.
She tries her hardest
to fight back
but the reigning God, with whips aloft
does not give in.
He seizes the air
which gets scarcer by the minute
but even though the space shrinks and shrinks
prevails He still, with whips aloft.

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 is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo
