lyrics
(Nectar of Earth)
The holy water flows
So sound your horn
In this golden age
Where I find you again
The essence of gods resonate throughout
What consumes this place, footsteps in fascination
Deep is the void and long is the road
Knees to the earth, the devil dwindles
So far have we come with the rags on our backs
Through the years living, ageing, weeping
Who we were now obsolete
Breaching the border of existence
From the RIVER we drink
The ale of time we drink
On and on and on and on
In attires of finesse
The great secret made known
Downstream where life's forever
Transcendental, above the cold, sick world
As we travel on
Thirsts are quenched, souls are cleansed
And all shimmers in the sun
Awaiting the moon
The essence of gods
Trickling down our bodies
What consumes this place
Endless fruition
Deep is the void
But deeper the heart
Knees to the earth
Purification
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
La mine, c'est le lieu qui met le plus en exergue les disparités sociales : d'un côté ils sont des milliers à descendre dans les entrailles de la terre, de l'autre une poignée s'élève socialement ; d'un côté ils meurent par centaines sous l'effet des coups de grisou, de l'autre ils consolident leurs richesses. Cette dualité, elle traverse aussi Kentucky : d'un côté le black metal atmosphérique asphyxiant, de l'autre l'americana et le folklore héroïque. Panopticon est dans la lutte permanente ! Jordan Vauvert
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
