New Mgla Song

2019-08-05 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 133 Comments
Polish black metal band Mgla are currently streaming the new song "Age of excuse II", taken from their upcoming fourth album Age of excuse.
No other details were revealed.

"Age of excuse II" lyrics:

The stench of zeitgeist
Is the incense of discarded shrines
As the corpses put on powder and rouge
So that the hoax can proceed, ever sidewards
A cheaped out incarnation into a shopworn sarx
The soul congeals into a grimy lump
Substance of the world, dreary and pale
At the feet of a spirit detached

Between the grinder and the abattoir
Such are the landscapes of grief
Grayness and glitz
Glitter and gehinnom

Between tedium and fright
Such is the song of the nether world
The hissing of rats
And the jarring chants of angels

A sacrifice to the gutter gods
Squandered redemption, misplaced grace
As an ailing mole burrowing in Eden
Living breathing downfall

Between the grinder and the abattoir
Such are the landscapes of grief
Grayness and glitz
Glitter and gehinnom

Between tedium and fright
Such is the song of the nether world
The hissing of rats
And the jarring chants of angels

It's a land of sun gone down
In a comical grandeur
A sluggish danse macabre
Hyenas waltzing about

Would a new flood please finally come
A real rain and an assortment of plagues
And when all is said and done
Even the Devil won't care enough to spit in the mud

The song doesn't differ much from Exercises in Futility. It sounds like Mgla, and that's good news, right?

the frontman had an edgy racist power electronics/death industrial project when he was 18 (he stopped with it 19 years ago) and both members have performed as the live backing band for Mikko Aspa's bm band Clandestine Blaze so you decide for yourself. (fixed it)
Aspa's full on nazi band is Vapaudenristi.

bottom line: Aspa is a racist, jew hating cunt and they have collaborated with him and release their stuff through his label. tldr: they aren't nazis but "work" with one.

Chambers, Tearing Down Jerusalem and Fist of the Northern Destroyer are the only ones I recall. What I mean is that CB isn't his primary outlet for his nazi ideology. It lurks it's ugly head out here and there but it isn't the main lyrical theme.

"ain't it fucked up that not wanting to support nazis is a controversial stance in 2019"

there shouldn't be anything offensive whatsoever about calling out racist/fascist artists, about challenging their platform, and especially if that ideology is a part of or the focus of their art or work. if you are really that offended by people not being cool with that, then you should engage in a bit of self-reflection to say the least. and likewise, if you can handle listening to it and enjoy the work on different merits without being a racist or fascist piece of shit, then all power to you. i feel like that's a rational take on the issue, and especially when it comes to eastern european black metal, which is absolutely rife with nazism/far-right ideology.

First, he's not correct at all. Yes, some eastern European black metal actually are anti semites and/or white supremacists. Most are not.

When a certain someone talks shit about Mexicans, like they're all drugdealers or rapists, he is called a bigot. Which is right.

Replace Mexicans with eastern Europeans, drugdealers and rapists with anti semites and white supremacists, and what do we have?

Sure. You must be one of those Nobel prize nominees.

Also, saying someone is a nazi without any actual proof to show for, is called malicious slander. Where I live, you may get a 25.000 euro fine for doing this, or do some serious prison time. Which is right.

Don't get me wrong though, I actually do get your point. I just don't think it's reason enough for me to turn my back to this awesome band. I simply need more than just association and accusation. Any actual racist content would make a major difference.

Judenfrei came out in 2000 when the guy was 19, almost 20 years ago. It was a long time ago and I assume you could use the same argument people use to brush away Neige's involvement in Peste Noire, but unless that stuff is actually publicly recanted i don't really get how you can actually ignore it. RYM has it expressly marked as nazi music.

"Its a smear campaign!" *never addresses hard evidence he's a white supremacist type*

"Neige has publicly recanted his involvement in Peste Noire, to be fair."

I don't have a source, but I have also read this in relation to Neige and Peste Noire.
I strongly think that everyone deserves the benefit of doubt and second chances, and especially if they make it clear that they unequivocally repudiate all aspects of nazi/fascist ideology. If that repudiation never happens though, and especially in the case of an artist who literally wrote a racist album named "Judenfrei," then there is no benefit of doubt warranted, and they are very likely still a far-right piece of shit.

Listened to some Dumal and they're...fine. Definitely solid BM, but their melodic writing isn't anywhere near Mgla's level.

Let's not get blinded by the fact that the guys behind Mgla are dirtbags. Musically Dumal at this point is most definitely not as good as Mgla are. You never know what the future may bring tho...
