My reaction and thoughts on MGLA - Exercises in futility!
As always leave a comment for the the next one!
![Drummer Reacts to TOOL - Pneuma [Danny Carey Drumcam]](/img/n.gif)
Black Metal
Post-Black, maybe Atmospheric Black. Most newer "Black Metal" has not much in common with the traditional low-fi trashcan sound of the 90's
@@Mp57navy Atmospheric black is where I have always put them. I miss that old school sound personally. When it's done right it's something special.
@@citizenbrain8065 if you check out real atmospheric black metal, mgla has nothing to do with it.
@@n8wolf575 I listen to a lot of black metal. Have since around 99. Admittedly, I am not as informed about Mgla as I would like to be and have always meant to dive deeper. I like Atmospheric stuff like WIITR, Woods of Desolation, Summoning etc but my taste usually leans more toward stuff like Horna, Watain and Beherit.
I'm usually solid about categories and subgenres so apologies if I lumped them in a genre they aren't a part of.
@@citizenbrain8065 no Problem Mate. Just imho atmospheric ist Something Else. Hard to Put mgla in a Subgenre
Blessed be, the cymbals
If you know you know...
And de snare,and de double bass.
we dont need this comment on every single mgla drum reaction video...
@@user-te1bu4li8q I'm sure there's some that I missed
@@weinderdog1184 no
"That bell's getting rung more than Notre Dame" had me laughing.
Well, you know, not anymore
@@blakerussell8681
Good riddance. European Catholicism is Satanism in sheep's clothing.
love how in the faster parts, he just keeps the backbeat going while doing all that awesome cymbal work
"This is witchcraft." A statement with relevancy. You're cool chief.
the man started as xylophone player, is what i've heard, that's probably where his handwork and way of holding the sticks comes from.
"The drums are almost melodic - in a sense". This!
Yeah totally, heard then mentioned sometimes already, there is a melody in them.
Metal drummers seem to forget that cymbals are an instrument and it's really nice to hear someone work them in a really musical way rather than just trash splash accents and ride bells in the 3rd and 4th bar. These guys are fantastic.
Oh, and it's black metal. Put whatever sub genre you want I guess, doesn't matter.
Budget Orlando Bloom reacting to Mgla? Give me more.
I had a right laugh at this! Thank you 😂
There's nothing "budget" about him! ;)
More like budget jamie dornan
"A lot of people get asked if they're drummers, musicians or artists... this guy is a musician." Very well said, and I'm sure the drummer here (Maciej Kowalski) would thank you for saying so. Great video.
Just an info, their name is pronounced mgwah, which means fog in Polish.
FOG AND MIST BOTH MEANING ARE OK
@@zygfryduszygfrydowicz5577 mist is mrzawka
@@Zoltarius666 it's mżawka, not mrzawka, and no, it's not, mżawka is drizzle. Both fog and mist are correct.
Then you have the Norwegian Black Metal band Taake whose name also means fog or mist............
@@kcrich1310 then you have those american bands called 'fog' and 'mist'
Other than the double bass getting just a little off in the beginning he played this masterpiece and then gave a humble two finger salute and quietly walked off of the stage. Such a damn good drummer. His balance and posture is perfect as well. The element of his drumming I like the most is that it is so tasteful and meaningful. Everything he does means something. One of the few drummers in extreme metal whose playing hits my soul.
Mesmerizing is definitely the best way to describe it. Great pick!
This drummer is one of the my favorite, he deserve much more love and recognition!!! He play in two bands Mgła and Kriegsmaschine! Very talented musician!!!
*Kriegsmaschine. Which was there original Band, Mgla was a side project which turned out to be the more famous one.
@@n8wolf575 thanks, that one is hard to spell, as a Polish it's a lot easier for me to do "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" stuff than this XD
Both are among my favorite bands
The funny thing is that, back when Kriegsmaschine was the "main project", Mgla was better than Kriegsmaschine and now it's the other way around. Don't get me wrong. Mgla is great but the latest two Kriegsmaschine albums are a little bit better.
@@13tuyuti yep. totally agree
I have never seen your reaction videos or this band but since will search out this band and your videos. They drumming on that song is Amazing 🤘😎🤘
Mgła our national treasure.
Thanks for that Reaction. I enjoyed watching it
Somebody once commented 'oh it's just a paradiddle diddle combination..nothing special' but I say the whole song as a composition is beautifully layered. Even though it has faster 'bling' parts they are not overly heavy and not taking away from musical value of the song
Love to watch reviews of Mgła drums 🤘😈
Great choice. I haven't seen a drum cam video but I highly recommend IV of the same album. So dynamic and all over the place with cymbal patterns all over
First time I saw him play I thought he had his sticks reversed, they looked so beefy.
If you have not seen it already, he has a new video up, rehearsing the first song of their latest album, and it has got bells for days. Check it out!
The worlds best drummer, any form, any genre. Maciej’s skills are ridiculous.
I was at that concert. Absolute madness.
This band is awesome ;)
Now this is true black metal drumming
Atmospheric Black Metal
It's actually heavier than you thought it was going to be. Listen to the album a few times. Guaranteed to make you sad. HEAVY
good analysis mate! well done
Much appreciated!
Hes showing off his Shelia E influence with those cymbals
Darkside is a phenomenal drummer! I highly, HIGHLY recommend checking out the band Ulcerate and drummer James St. Merat, one of the absolute best in the scene next to another I recommend being Lille Gruber of the bands Defeated Sanity and Ingurgitating Oblivion.
Go and see them live (when things will become normal again). You would definitely will understand why Black Metal Matters!
That cymbal work is always so tasty.
It really is, its so refreshing to see!
@@zypherdrums8102 they're a black metal band btw. You'll find a lot of tasty cymbal work in black metal. That and a shit ton of blasts. If you want to see some of that then I'd recommend checking out Nils "dominator" Fjellström - Vobiscum Satanas drum cam.
@@MrAcidKnight indeed nils is one of the best black metal drummers out there and worth to check out
Also, this drummer from Mgla released drum play recently on his channel, the rehearsal of song from newest album, calls Age of Excuse I, and it's sure more interesting in terms of cymbal work, so you might wanna check it out too!
His symbol work is insane. Black metal drummers are some of the most extraordinary people on the planet to me.
great review, good man HAIL MGLA & WILL this is polish black metal
It is pronounced like "mgwah" and means "fog"
They're a Black Metal Band from Poland if you care about.
I dae, I dae mate ;) Greetings fae Polska :)
This is new age atmospheric black metal. This dudes are very influenced by early Enslaved material and a lot by Burzum. Obviously they are much better in production and as musicians than early days of the genre.
MGŁA Polish word = FOG, Spoken (M like "mom" G like in "game" Ł (W in "win") A like in " among"
A as in "car", not "among", which begins with a schwa sound.
@@amjan let it be ...i know the best how it sounds in polish...
I was waiting for 8:40... and like all of us who saw it first times. "What is this? . Witchcraft".... yeah mate. He is that good
Melodic black metal metal man
His drum work in Kriegsmachine is out of this world. You should check it out.
Atmospheric/ Progressive Black Metal🤘🏻🖤
Ahhh another one converts to the Darkside, very pleasing! Very pleasing indeed hahaha!
All genres evolve and refine. Including Black Metal.
Check out Jamie St. Merat, drummer from Ulcerate. Blow your damn mind.
Jamie and Darkside are my fav drummers, cheers buddy!
its very good idea to create a part using cymbalwork, not just a filler or a trick
8:32
*That bell is getting rang more times than Notre Damme.* XD
must love the ding ding ding ding ding bells
Darkside is on another level
You're wearing the correct jacket for this reaction video. Look up Mgla band photos. They usually wear leather biker jackets.
Darkside(Mgla drummer) is one of the best drummers of the last 20 years for me. Not quite Danny Carey level, but close.
sorry for beeing late, but have you checked Dan Presland?
'NeObliviscaris - As Plague flowers the Kaleidoskope' ist a great song to check out his drum work.
100% must check out residual blight, by kriegsmachine. Same drummer, going so nuts that he had to put out a video on his UA-cam channel of him doing part of the song to prove he didn’t layer it
Now THIS IS DELICIOUS 😎
Blessed be, the sweat
LEPROUS - The Sky Is Red (Drum Playthrough by Baard Kolstad)
You shoud check out Chris Turner from Oceans Ate Alaska. He is also not focusing on footwork but playing very intricate rythms with some nice snare work. very much to recommend
You should check out Bard Kolstad from Leprous. He has several drum playthroughs- "The Sky is Red" or any of them really.
Black Metal, brother
The genre is black metal. You can tell by the mid paced tempo and dissonant riffing that doesnt try to "show off" with any fancy lead guitar. Of course there is black metal which plays at blistering speeds (Dark Funeral, Mysticum, etc), but typically black metal tends to focus on a mid pace tempo. In terms of drumwork, this would be considered very fancy for a black metal group. Usually the drums would be either programmed digitally/drum machine, or are very simplistic.
Presently my favourite drummer.
He has his own UA-cam channel: DKSD.
Not a lot of videos though.
Pronunciation: like „mgwa“. Polish for „fog“. ☝🏻🥸😂
SPICY!
Really great reaction!
Also check Infant Annihilator - CuntCrusher (drums)
I’ll bet that shit is so crazy! Must see!
Actually Bryan Fajardo with Cognizant is a must see!
check the mighty Jamie Saint Merat from ULCERATE..
Well done. I would suggest having the band volume higher. Cheers.
Bryan Fajardo of P.L.F. And Gridlink, also Dobber Beaverly of Insect Warfare
Its black metal. Mgla is up there with Mayhem and Batushka imo
Mayhem ...
Should try Batushka, another original Polish band with crazy drums (there are drumcam videos). Sthg from Litourgiya or Panihida albums, as after band split their vocalist kept using the name. But his efforts don't do justice to the "real" band still run by the guitarist who is the composer
I would suggest you do a reaction to Ulcerate´s "dead oceans". That would be interesting :)
Oh man, Ulcerate is my top metal band of all the!!
Band i s awesome, I appreciate your technical approach to the drumming by Darkside. Your comment " what is this witchcraft? " made me laugh. Try to pronounce it as MGUA and you will be pretty close to the correct way of saying the name of the band which means FOG in Polish. Cheers.
Also if you're curious it's pronounced like (mgwah) from what I know.
I'd like to see you playing some drums too my friend! Do you plan on possibly doing that or strictly reactions?
I certainly will be putting some videos up soon, just waiting a few more weeks until my neck/shoulder has fully healed as I suffered nerve damage in June!
Man, have you listened Kriegsmaschine?
He plays the drum there. You should give a opportunity.
Mgla=The fog polish band .This is more classic black metal not death metal :)
MGLA THE BEST BLACK METAL BAND IN MILKY WAY
i highly recommend you check out to check out gene hoglan playing The Philospher if you find this man's drumming refreshing in metal. he doesnt play the same genre, but i think you will dig it nonetheless
Nobody had drum reactions on the list of what does CM Punk do after UFC?
Witchcraft. Yes, it should be called that.
Maybe you can react to one of Bryan Fajardo's Drum cam.
the two members of mgla have another project called "kriegsmaschine"
its another, darker breed of black metal with equally tasty drumwork
the band is nowhere near as popular as mgla however, so i doubt you can find a live video of dksd (the drummer) playing it live, but on his youtube channel he has a section from one of their most popular songs, its quite spicy
ua-cam.com/video/Lah0bDDe3Zs/v-deo.html
I guess this is modern black metal, sweetly evolved from classic Black Metal, as its meant to be.
They're black metal group from Poland. Polish finest, I would say. As usual, cool to hear your opinion. I'd propose something more from Danny Carey - ua-cam.com/video/8KJFE8E3MpQ/v-deo.html here is his Triad live performance. Shitty quality, but worth watching nonetheless. He also has some nice vids playing with Doug Webb's jazz group - here's a teaser solo video ua-cam.com/video/A1b7vueKsv8/v-deo.html
Cheers!
Black Metal!
Go listen some Dark Funeral, Necrophobic, Mayhem, Immortal, Impaled Nazarene, 1349, Marduk, Absu, my mates Aussie band Mazikeen, another Aussie Black Metal band Nazxul, Beherit, Satyricon, Emperor, Burzum, Destroyer 666, etc... 😅
I belive the question remains... WHAT STICKS IS IT?
Black Metal, and it's pronounced "mm-gwa"
Dude, it's just "Mgwa" for kurwa sake, there is no long M pronunciation or pause in the middle lmao
@@musashimiyamoto7150 zgadza się
He isn't just going spare. He's going spare WITH PRECISION! Could this be someone who has had "masterclasses" with Kai? Because as I watch him, I have to think of Kai the way he moves. Who IS this guy?
And give Tank The Tech a nudge. He does a lot of tech based reactions on YT, and he really wants to have other YTers to connect with.
lol I love it when people call Mgla "em-gee-ell-ay".
It’s not melodic black metal it’s black with a lot of trance elements. U have to listen to all album! I recommend u a lot
Trance elements? Wtf dude? Where did u get this?
@@dropshot5791 KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Fuck
No mgwa
No mgla
No mg-wah
No M.G.L.A
MGŁA !!!
you'd better say fog.
Hi.
You should give this one a listen - Emperor "Ensorcelled by Khaos". If so, you need to find the one that is on the page of the bands drummer Trym Torson. Its videoname is Emperor Drumcam Rehearsal Ensorcelled by Khaos
Mgła is DSBM. Depressive Suicidal Black Metal, which often is slower and more atmospheric than Black Metal
They're DSBM?
Hi Zypher, thank you for that reaction! Is there any chance we see a Eloy Casagrande - Desperate Cry drumcam reaction? From band name Sepultura? It's really great play and also song, you might check it out and maybe do a video, i promise it will don'tdisappointed you!
Peace!!
Imagine suggesting Sepultura and not talking about Igor
@@eggwaffle i think Eloy more interesting drummer, if we talking about drum cam videos, but both are great in their own way ofc
Aye, close guess, they're 46.5 kilo each
POLISH BLACK METAL IS POWERFUL
Darkside just added a new drum cam: ua-cam.com/video/9MXb8dh-Wkw/v-deo.html
You fer the burgh?
PLease react to LEPROUS - The Sky Is Red (Drum Playthrough by Baard Kolstad)
This is supposedly "Post black metal"
Not really. It‘s just Black Metal. Not Oldschool, not Second Wave, but Black Metal.
Definitely not post
Demonic...
