lyrics
"Come in station command. This is Alpha X-1. We are approaching the event horizon. Engines are not responding. Requesting emergency procedures. Repeat. Requesting emergency procedures."
Frequency of emergency warnings
Breaking update signals
Error in discovery by man
Bizarre radiation uncovers the ghosts in the sand
Start the descent into the frontier
Movement and colours
Blurred by unsettled debris
Turbulent first contact
Shimmering field of galactic dust
Full spectrum of light pulsing on the surface
Down
In the heart
Beating at the end of the shadowy veins
Life
Spills out over the perforated subterrene
Then: a blast
E'rhis Kfa-ne
E'fel Ranas
Krah phrul manus
Ne phral
An-na
Sovereign of the Land substantiates
The rhythm of the ground beneath their feet
"Be without fear as you are welcomed guests.
The first of your kind to visit here.
Allow me to show you what you have travelled so far to behold."
This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
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
PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
