Strange fact, Mgla is the polish word for "fog", and Taake is the Norwegian word for "fog".
Both are probably my favorite modern black metal bands.
The similarities don't end there -- Mgla names every track on their album after the album title, but breaks the tracks up into parts... Very similarly to how Taake used to do it.
Good call on the Transilvanian Hunger comparison. Darkthrone and Burzum really influenced that 'hypnotic' sound in the black metal scene.
This album is such a vibe. One of the few metal albums I can listen to late at night that won't disturb my ability to get sleep.
"A reward for the perseverant -- unceasing howling of the heart" is one of my most favorite lines of lyric from anything I've heard.
I had to go back and view the lyrics on my second go round. They are incredibly poetic. But I literally got lost in the music on this one. Great request as usual.
The minimalistic repetitive/hypnotic style was pioneered by Ildjarn unless I've been misinformed.
@@HideousConformity I'm not familiar with them. But looking at their discography, they would have had to pioneer that sound on their demos rather than their debut 1995 LP. Because Burzum released the hypnotic Hvis lyset tar oss in 1994 and Darkthrone released Transilvanian Hunger in 1994. Regardless, it was definitely a multiple artist thing that started it for sure.
@@StarsDie88 It usually is. For example, Carcass and At the Gates are the ones that tend to get credited for creating Melodic Death Metal, but I've also seen Eucharist (SWE) listed as another of the genre's progenitors. Another example is Folk Metal where Skyclad is generally lauded as the creators of the genre but there were atleast two other bands in mainland Europe who had been mixing metal and folk music before they did.
Mgla and Taake are both awesome!😁🤘
You totally understand black metal. I always say “black metal is music you don’t listen to is music you feel”
Also check out the Drum Cam version of MGLA - Exercises in Futility V
Yeah definitely on board with this. I chose the song that I personally vibe out the most to from this band, but that track and that drum cam video will blow you away. Really impressive stuff.
That you HAVE TO check.
Came to post this!!!!
Ya that's a good vid of a great drummer
Yup, and definitely hear the studio version of V. The ambience and feel that songs puts you in is fucking awesome
Nice to see a reaction from someone that just 'gets it'! Black metal is never going to be the most popular sub genre but once you understand how to listen to it you'll be rewarded time and time again.
For me Exercises in futility is one of best albums in general not only in bm music. hypnotic, with amazing atmosphere..you need listening whole album it is really addicting stuff 😅🙂
This is the best black metal reaction on youtube. I will watch every single BM video you make for the rest of my life.
They are very literally one of the most perfect black metal bands of all time....
Mgła is one of my all time favorite Black Metal bands. Absolutely brilliant. This album is a masterpiece.
This whole album is a masterpiece!!! Drumming and lyrics for me is outstanding here!!!
7:16 darkside repeats the opening fill so that it now has context within the song. Next level songwriting and arrangement
It's no fluke that this music is so good. Good composing is good composing.
It's nice to see reactions where people are kind of new to black metal, but so clearly 'gets it'. Great reaction!
You should check out Exercises in Futility I or Mdlosci I from Mgla too! There's a ton of great songs but those are my absolute favorites.
you're doing it exactly right! in blackmetal don't focus on individual instruments, listen to it as a whole. that's what's making the atmosphere.
Darkside plays drums also in Kriegsmaschinen. Check out their song "Residual blight"
MGLA rules, excellent choice to get into Black Metal, that intensity owns you…
I can say I've been blasting heavy music for decades now. Never really clicked with black metal, tho. Not until I found Mgła. Saw them live, kickass band.
Love that it looks like you're enjoying yourself. Love it bro!
this is one of the greatest black metal albums in the recent era
Hey, you really understand Black Metal! Especially this one is the best example for getting lost in another world! Another example for this is indeed "Transilvanian Hunger" or even the whole "Nemesis Divina" Album by Satyricon!
Very good reaction! "Exercises In Futility" with its 6 parts for real is a real classic in Black Metal which I can listen to over and over!
You listen to black metal the way I do. Watching your joy is so satisfying. Thank you for this.
"Like classical music for a metalhead"
By golly, I think he gets it!
the sense of 'urgency' and 'something huge happening' in the mgla songs is just so awesome. makes you so excited and pumped. i believe its what makes most of black metal fans enjoy the songs
“Classical music for a metalhead”. I LIKE that! 😎
You should try batushka my brother. Gregorian catholic chants mixed with Black metal in some irônic lyrics. Greetings from Brasil thou.
Old comment, but it's Eastern Orthodox and Old Church Slavonic
Black metal is a feeling more so then anything.
I am 34 lvl man, i started listen rock and metal from 12 yo., who listen all kind of music right now. But bm for me - best music art ever made. And last decade of black metal - best bm ever made, and mgla - cherry on this mountain. I love old classic bm like darkthrone, emperor, immortal etc, but what doing right now polish, french, Icelandic bands - its smthng out of this world, complex, deep, evil.
MGLA is so fucking good it is insane. Polish masters. Listen to the drummers cymbal work closely... It is insane.
This is like classical music but for metal heads. Exactly!!!! He gets it.
I can tell you get it! You've felt the essence of Black Metal that eludes so many listeners.🤘🏻😎👌🏻
Really appreciate seeing that this was enjoyable from someone just getting into the genre. BMFL. 🤘🖤
Hell YES!
The whole album is an oppressive claustrophobic bleak and hopeless journey.
Brilliant.
One of my top 10 albums of all time.
Black Metal is all about the feeling.
Check out Craft - The Cosmic Sphere Falls
Another interesting Black Metal band is Schammasch. Their song Metanoia is incredibly atmospheric
Watch MGŁA@Exercises in futility II-Darkside-Live In Poland 2017 (Drum Cam) total Legend
Fucking love this album. Very dark and the drumming is unbelievable.
The fucking goosebumps man. Mgla are Black metal royalty. Excellent reaction! Keep 'em coming
Exercises V is currently my favourite one, and I think widely considered the best one.
Instant subscribe because you groove to Mgła.
Mgła is fantastic because of their ability to create movement within the music. Darkside, the drummer, is incredibly musical and is the primary source of this movement. He truly engages the listener to pay attention to the phrasing and subdivisions while ebbing and flowing through build-up, tension, release of the song's overall structure.
I would personally love to see you react to Deathspell Omega's "Si Monumentum, Requires Circumspice" album. Or at least give us a reaction to their song "Carnal Malefactor". Let's get you deep into the black metal pit 🤘. I'll keep you busy with all kinds good shit.
Yes, there are dark atmosphere where you can just float while listening the song. You can feel the power in chords and in melody of the song and it kind of wave you just like you would be in a hammock while chill autumn breeze would wave it endlessly.
You are spot on with the atmosphere with BM. Mgła is amazing with conveying this. Glad you see them the same way I do.
I’m new to your channel and enjoyed this reaction!! MGŁA is a fantastic band! 🤘🏽
When I hear Mgła, particularly this song, I just get lost in the void. I mean, I'm sure you have just gone all-in on the band by now, so we won't get first reactions? As a lifetime Norwegian fan of metal, this fills me with warmth (or chills?)! Haven't checked all your videos, but please do Darkthrone "Quintessence", Windir "Saknet", Burzum "Det som engang var", Emperor "Ye Entrancemperium" or just ask - got a lot of them 🙂
Mgla crazy band!
complete meditative experience with these guys. Not only respected in the Black Metal scene but are gaining notoriety in Metal in general.
Pure escapism.. Listen to the entire album and just lose yourself \m/
Yes, one of my favourite bands !! Check out Excercises in Futility V drumcam LIVE (very good and enjoyable audio quality), it's very hypnotic ;)
Great reaction! Also check out another great polish black metal band - Batushka.
Some essential BM bands you haven't covered yet are Burzum, Mayhem, Immortal, Ulver and Enslaved. I suggest to checkout Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss and Mayhem - Freezing Moon.
Burzum-Aske
Mayhem-Deathcrush
Immortal-Pure Holocaust
Ulver-Bergtatt
Meh. Trashcan sound BM is dead.
It's very much alive actually.
They are awesome...This album is one of the bests....good & deep lyrics as well.!!
This album in its entirety is a fucking masterpiece, in my opinion, there isn't a bad song on this album.
This cymbals😮
That whole album is fucking gold, such a refreshing approach to black metal, and the top tier drumming is the best way to not sound like every other black metal band out there. You hear just the drums me know it's MGLA 🤟🏻
This whole album is soo great!
VOLA has very unique sound. Mught get on your patreon to finally get your reaction to em lol.
Nice watching you enjoy Black metal
Since your Dakthrone video i knew you will like this band, they use this guitar technique to creat long melodies and work on atmosphere with a moderne look and the drums you were looking for. Their albums are really sick you will love them
A greatly overlooked track from them is Groza II, especially if you like the atmospheric "painting" they do. But really, you can't go wrong. Everything they've done is killer, even though I like some more than others.
A couple other suggestions:
These dudes have another project called Kriegsmaschine, I'd recommend The track Altered States of Divinity for a good start, but again, all their stuff is good.
A CRIMINALLY overlooked band in the reaction world is Katatonia. The songs Brave, Murder, or Rainroom from their Brave Murder Day album are brilliant. This is like if The Cure was black metal. Absolutely top-tier band, and that album continues to get better 25 years in.
Polish black metal really good ;)
Wow, you "accidentally" stumbled upon one of the jewels!!!
You describe it perfectly,
you have just gotta look at "Dissection - The Somberlain" they are absolutely venomous
Exercises in Futility V is my favorite.
Please, edit the name of the band (Mgła, the G comes before the L). hehe
Mgla is by far my favorite band in the newest wave of BM. Completely awesome and breathtaking. Darkside makes a superb work in his kit, his dexterity with the cymbals is quite unique. The band's lyrics are also a peculiar point, mixing a mature nihilism with some metaphoric narrative "backgrounded" with Greek Mythology. Monolithic riffs by mister M. complete the astonishing opus of these Poles.
Long Life Mgła!
Thanks. I’m on it
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Great, TNT. I love your reactions, because you are honest. You don't fake and force reactions. haha
Please, do Katatonia - Velvet Thorns. I am sure you will love it :)
I assumed most other people who like this also listen to classical music.
weird to see people conect to ths frequency of music, greets from a northman
One of the best black metal songs imo JUST for the atmosphere, is "come, dreadful ygg" by walknut.
The best black metal I've ever heard from a songwriting and musicianship perspective, is exercises in futility so definitely do more from this album
Mgla is amazing
Awesome!!!!!
I wish I could hear this one for the first time once again.
Just got a new sub here 🤘
Every time I hear this song, the vocals make me want to listen to Samael - Ceremony of Opposites next
Great reaction!!! Classical music for metal heads! Perfect!
Check out Drudkh- His 24th Spring. Similar style from Ukraine. Legends!!
Do the drum cam version of "exercises in futility V" just because the visuals are helpful in understanding the craftsmanship of bands this good
Hellz yeah
It’s almost a bit like German expressionism which became abstract expressionism I would definitely say black metal is like abstract art as it’s very emotional but at the same time quite complex and Cerebral.
Mgła is one of my favorite bands, despite their uncomfortable closeness with fascism in black metal. Exercises in Futility is probably the single most important album in my life, and music is a constant for me. The lyrics are incredibly deep and clever, in a way one doesn't often see in any genre. The record is a meditation on nihilism and its implications, written in such poetic verse while still retaining the black metal aesthetic. Coming out of Poland, the death of god and meaning itself are dealt with using a lot of Christian and specifically Catholic ideas and frameworks (for example, I had to look up "Hesychasm" to truly grasp this track's lyrics), but they incorporate concepts from all over to draw the picture. It's just a masterpiece, start to finish
Guilty by association due their relation with Aspa. Until they openly approach this thematic in their songs, I won't make any kind of assumption.
Apart that, I agree with your statement. Mgla is in their own shelf concern lyrical maturity in Black Metal.
@@vicenteraira I wish it were just that. I think M was previously in a band that was explicitly in that camp. There were other flags i don't recall, but it's a testament to the impact of Exercises that I, an explicitly Antifascist anarchist, still listen to and even recommend it
@@timothymeysenburg9160 I understand. But come on, he was around 16 lol
Remember when even Darkthrone used that "Arysk Norsk Metal" bullshit in some of old albuns? But, well. Anyways, c'est la vie... :P
It is kind of weird "to preach" so much nihilism and embrace some kind of radical ideology. It just makes no sense to me.
But human is naturally weird :D
@@vicenteraira Yeah I thought about that as well. They are very clearly and obviously nihilists. So I don't understand how or why a nihilist would buy into fascism or communism or really any kind of ideology. Not that I think it's impossible, just that it doesn't make any sense to me. What I will say though, is that I could see a nihilist not giving a shit about who they associate themselves with. So there's a possible explanation.
@@StarsDie88 Anarchism is a form of communism that is perfectly compatible with a philosophically nihilist position.
Another unusual bm band you should react is Enslaved. React to Fenris live at cinematic tour. They're very influential and their musicianship is otherworldly 🤘
I'd totally enjoy a reaction from, belfegor....great black metal with decent sound quality 👌. Conjuring the dead ,is a great video and 🎵
Check out Abigor, Scars in the Landscape of God, 1995. Definitely in my top 3 black metal bands of all time.
Reminds me of satyricon a bit I LIKE IT
i came here to watch bill burr reaction. you have a reaction on mgla. awesome=)
Lol
mgła are the OG's of the genre atm
If you like atmospheric Black metal you have to check out "Summoning". Very epic. Maybe start with "Long lost to where no pathway goes" . All songs are good though.
Unique beautiful music from Poland - LUX OCCULTA: albums:
"Dionysos"( eg tracks: "Ecstasy And Terror" or "Blessed Be the Rain");
" My Guardian Anger" (eg tracks "The Heresiarch" or " „Kiss My Sword”),
"The Mother and the Enemy" ( eg tracks „Architecture” or „Pied Piper” ),
amazing music from black metal to progressive black death metal
You are spot on about not isolating the instruments. It is all supposed to blend together. That was a by product of the poor recording. Or maybe intentional. Shoegaze is a similar genre.
Funny you say that because shoe gaze black metal was the next style I listened to after this song.
You need to check out blaze of perdition conscious darkness
The only thing I dont get is how he said that Mgla are unknown! They are the most hot name in black metal for years now!!
"It reminds me of DarkThrone", spot on! 90% of Norvegian black metal sound like transilvanian hunger.
Can someone with a patreon get him to listen to Drudkh - Wind of the Night Forest
That song would blow his mind, as it did me.
Listen to Peste Noire.
Beutiful!
If you like this type of "emptiness" and "coldness" try Burzum and "jesus tod" song...
obligatory "react to the live drum cam of Futility V"
Exercises rips but I, IV and especially VI are even better
What a great thumbnail
It’s how I feel when I indulge in good black metal
you should check out Kriegsmaschine, they share some members with Mgla.
Mgła in polish means FOG
May I, make a request?
BORKNAGAR
Try Drudkh - Skies At Our Feet
React to Null, Vastatum, Brzask, Faidra, Zhrine, Kankar or The Ruins of Beverast. please and thank you
mgla means mist
great band, a few other black metal tracks you might enjoy:
Mephorash - Sfaíra Ti̱s Fo̱tiás
UADA - Cult of a Dying Sun
Schammasch - Golden Light
Beyond fiction - interconnected (official video )
