past deeds linger in the astral darkness
through the tunnel connecting luna to earth
woe unto me, for there is an old incarnation present here
compelled to remain somewhere in between ge'hinnom and sheol
seven hells that are mine, where past and present melt to one
the price of murder paid through ages and ages
in this fusion of life and death
the gathered decay of past lives
somehow present in the very moment
has darkened my inner sight
and the self transforms into an open grave
cuts that go deeper than flesh
pitch-black blood flowing forth from a re-opened wound
perpetuated in a flood of waters unreal
I can not breathe in thee, incarnated human...
slave to the temptations of the lower mind
that is the key that has brought upon me this dead mind-ghost
and he was me, breathing through shells of perdition
'this life I now live, is rather a lack of living:
it is a continuous dying, if with You I do not make my living
listen, my God, to what I say: I do not want this life of mine:
For I die because I do not die.'
San Juan DE LA Cruz: not living in myself I live, line 11-17.
I can not breathe in thee, incarnated human
the bleak presence of an old murder remains a key of torture
the irony of Osiris, turning Samsaras wheel to my misfortune
why, oh why was a spirit this old incarnated with such a depraved personality?

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

Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert

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
