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

Some say Mgła is overrated, but they make great black metal, so they deserve all the attention they get if you ask me.
because they are, don't understand this hype about them, they're In Flames of black metal
Hype? In flames of black metal? No one has hyped in flames for like 20 years 😂

@@overlorddexter I agree
This drummer deserves a statue
yesterday they played at Brutal Assault and I was concentrating mainly on drummer ... hellbitch, that was incredible
@@DeadInGrave i was waiting for carcass on the other stage, then i listened this song (i think, one of the latest songs) and i was encharmed..
He's just as good live. I'm not really a fan of the music, but the drummer blew me away.
man, just listen to that superb stuff. Never a dull moment. He sets the tone and the dynamics during the whole thing. Crazy cymbal stuff happening all the time, yet he gives the song a solid base at all times.
Maciek is a true beast!

You haven't heard ze nigmar ?? 🧐
Ooh baby, ooh mama
Love your vids!
Goniloc make a new video
Nice that you showed up. I enjoyed your recent content.
By the way, your video on Mgła (and UA-cam recommended me a lyric video of Exercise in Futility V) had me getting an interest in listening this band. \m/
@@timothymckane6362 same as you
you gotta make a video about this mysterious dabbing man on the cover
Me: "I'm should exercise a bit today. I almost skipped it."
Mgła: "It's futile."
Me: "Yeah you're probably right."
You made my day bro hahahahahaha
Hahahaha I see what u did!
Mgla: This is the age of excuse
Especially leg day. The most futile of all days.
Lmaaoo
I know everything about this band is top notch, especially the lyrics.
But this fucking drummer, dude, mind-blowing. His cymbal work is something from beyond.
I like him even better in Krieggsmaschine
darkside really kicks ass! \m/
I took my first drum lesson 29 years ago, and have learned from, played with and heard so many God level drummers of all different genres and Darkside is my favorite of them all.
You should see him in the kitchen!
@@ryanvoshell9722He's also my favorite.
These guys have no idea how much their music means to me. This is healing, in the most melancholic, yet stoic way possible. This is resilience and nihilism melted and absorbed by every pore of my soul.
Exactly, calming coldness and meaninglessness
Absolutely. Bless your soul my friend.
Same 4 me
same
Feel the same. Helped me a lot many years ago to stay sane during study entrance exams.
Mgla and Age of Empires II are the best thing that happened to me.

Don’t forget the lyrics. This guy can write. !!!
"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"
HEAVY
The quote I have on my shirt. Means a lot to me. Long live my Polish brothers and sisters and fans like you! Black Metal forever!
Spent 15 mins to load the full song while in middle of the forest with no one with 1 tick of mobile network... Totally worth it.. Now whole the forest and animals are listening to this with me on full volume :D
That drummer deserves a monument in his name
Almost got an heartattack when i saw this in my subbox... Track is 10/10 of course. Typical Mgla.
Same here! I'll be happy for a while
I am a bit disappointed. The same sound the same ideas as on the previous album. I hope other tracks will bring something new.
@@kwicher Fair opinion. But I personaly love their sound and style so much, that they could do songs like this for 20 more years and I would be happy. But I'm pretty sure that they will have some more expirimental/different stuff on this new record.
aj ne seri ovo je generika 100 posto
@@kwicher Do you want another In Flames?
Their music is so depressive it actually motivates me
Mgła is nihilist or existentialist Black Metal. Mgła isn't depressive and certainly not DSBM, if anything they are a philosophical band. Yes, if you so choose, their lyrics are pretty dark but they are not depressive unless you interpret them that way.
love your profile pic. LMAO.
@Stefan S The hoodies? Never seen them without them, never want to. One of the things that I like about black metal in the veins of Mgla, Misthyrming and Svartidaudi is that the artists do not have a "human identity" (unless I search for it). That significnatly adds to how I can experience the music and especially the lyrics.
Same - there's an inner strength that pours out from the sadness. Your hardships will either crush you or they will make you stronger.
Art
The drummer is killing it on this song
Soundtrack to the collapse of civilization, and the death of gods.
There’s still an octopus manning the drums - excellent!
That would be tentacling then
I didn't know I had the ability to click so fast a link until today.
5:08 Transition is so beutiful. Only Mgla could pull it off.
I have listen to this song so many times since the release. Can't get enough of it. There is no other band like Mgla. They got something special.
kriegsmaschine
@@---pn4je Agree to an extent. But even though it's the same members, I find Kriegsmaschine to have a more dissonant approach when Mgla is melodic.
Mgla is unique. Period
Name me ONE band with same style? Doesnt exist.
This is incredible. The layers begin to show upon repeated listens. Well placed technicality, great tension and release, moody/stoic/triumphant all at once. Can't wait for the full thing.
this is TRUE. It took me several listens to hear the hidden moments. "Age of Excuse" is a very fitting title. Its going to be another classic release.
This is on of my all time favourite songs. God damn this is amazing
@Derpster I honestly wasn't even into black metal before I found this band, and now I'm in love with all of their mgla work.
Amazing production quality and composement. All of their albums are master pieces.
I've been listening to last two albums of mgla for years, and it just never gets old
the vocals sound even better than on 'Exercises', they're rawer .... and I love it!
Same opinion...more like on with hearts towards none...I had to adjust and get familiar at first with the vocal style on EIF. The vocals were more like in Kriegsmaschine. I prefer this kind of different vocals for mgla. But this is just nitpicking here. Both projects are top notch
I often hear people say "I like x(any music genre) because they sing about real life".
Often times I hear that statement from people who like songs about how cool it is to do or sell drugs, fucking pussys and so on. Basically trap music.
Well, it means that they misunderstood life.
Life is mostly pain, with a little bit of joy, sometimes, or maybe satisfaction. But it is mostly pain.
Some people feel this pain much more than others, and Mgła's masterpieces are, for me, the best arrangement of this kind of thoughts, put together with a beautiful use of a language that it's not their mother tongue, and melodies which talk about despair, but not surrender.
I never felt like I was part of some kind of "music family".
Now I do.
Great comment. From my point of view it's a struggle in despair. This song is unique. The music makes me strong and lyrics makes me wanna cry at the same time.
Because its easier to dreamin and livin in imagination than accept cruel reality
As in With Hearts Toward None IV "Never surrender
Never retreat
In this the weapons
are our very lives
Fuck hope and godspeed"
This statement is beyond powerful. And delivered with such an indescribable emotion in his voice.
That's what makes black metal stand out from any other genre. It's about as raw as it gets when dealing with our core emotions that many like to deny are even there ... hate, anger, sadness and envy. It's about reflecting on those emotions and learning to live with them.
Great comment. I agree thoroughly.
Their music as strange as it may seem. Prevented me from ending myself when i lost contact with my daughter.. They mean so much to me
Very good to know. Hope you can look back and realise it would be a mistake. You wouldn't know Mgła for example. Keep strong.
This is weird, but black metal and mostly Mgla got me through the darkest of times when I also thought noose would be the best solution. This and running in the forest in the dark (I am a runner) made it possible for me to survive. Now, letting everything bad behind I live a much happier life and will always be a fan of this amazing band.
Don’t think it’s strange at all. I personally think dark and extreme music is a great way to vent with harsh emotions and thoughts. Regardless glad you’re still with us
damn thats deep. hope you are doing well
Right there with you on that Jonathan, my little boy was taken to Poland (ironically enough) when me and my now partner again broke up, I lost contact with him for over a year but me and his mother have since reconciled and he's back with me now where he belongs, but MGŁA and black metal really got me through some dark times. I hope you make contact with your daughter again dude, its a truly gut wrenching experience.
The drumming and the riff work so well together, it's superb
Still here...
Best "old school" sounding modern BM band ever. The clarity of the guitars is phenomenal and when combined to superior drumming and great composing... still propably the best black metal of the 21st century.
"best old school sound"? they sond like a wannabe
@@niklas2378 Define Wannabe... Old school BM bands did not wan that "wall of sound" so what the practically did was that they dialed all the bass down from the guitar, creating a really cut throug sound. That combined to the shitty gear that the bands usually used is the BM sound we know. Today bands use better gear and actually have some knowledge on how to dial the tones. MGLA is a great example on how to get raw sound without loosing the quality of it. What comes to being wannabe... don't know about that. MGLA is one of the best BM bands of the 21st century. If you don't like it the you don't listen to it. Simple as that.

Hailz from Pakistan!
This popped up in my Facebook feed as a sponsored AD. Well let me tell you, I have never been so happy about an AD before. You guys woke up something in me that I have not felt in years! Majestic!
The drums get me every time... This will be one hell of a record.
There they are again, all the ingredients that made "Exercises in Futility" one of the best (Black) Metal albums of all time! Amazing song!
it is indead
No
I prefer with hearts towards none over EIF but love both
Of all time....ok
A bit of a strech to say "of all time". Maybe to you, but surelly is a great album. But why does this sound inferior in masterization? It was a crescendo compared to the older ones.
Hail Mgla from GREECE. Another masterpiece,September We Saw YOU LIVE.
BLACK METAL FOREVER
The drumming is a mastery
So glad their sticking with the same sound as Exercises In Futility which had such an incredible, emotional, and powerful sound to it. Absolutely loving this!! 🤘
fertility? haha
@@Dhieen I didn't know how to spell it but you know what I mean haha.
I was worried that the pressure to deliver is too high... But this is just pure excellence. Atmosphere at it's purest. Thanks Poland. Thanks Mgla 🔥
Where nihilism reigns no pressure remains
What a lovely day...
The fog returns!
The black stockings returns...
started to get sunny
Guess you have your work cut out for you mate :D
Travelling through Polang right now listening to the best polish band ever. Feels thrilling. So much power in this music.
the cymbals playing is insane ! fantastic song
Mgla is one of those bands, that with every song just gets you in this weird emotional paradox and I don't mind it one bit!
Jesus Christ. Listening to something like this in 2019 is just amazing. Sounds legit black metal.
Beautiful. Crisp vocals, perfect tremolos, and a drummer with 8 limbs. Can't wait for the album to drop!
I was so worried that this would not live up to my own expectations after so many years of impeccable music. I felt that there was no WAY they could maintain the same level of quality. It sounds like I am 100% wrong though. This is simply excellent
yeah same here but this is just brilliant
I agree. Why fix something that's not broken? Brilliant musically, lyrically and in production. Just flawless.
I get you man, whenever a masterpiece is dropped the follow up usually disappoints. I should’ve known better than to doubt them
will be the best album of this year, I never had a doubt
i wish too hoping for good blast beast again
how abt new devourment ?
Currently mine is Adore by Numenorean but Mgla is a great pretender
I think it will be Borknagar or Cattle Decapitation
The new one from Temple koludra and Hath are insanely good as well.
Where's the button ''I fucking love it '' ? what a magnificent song, again and again you surprise me. you totally know what BM is about , thank you very much for making this .
Man these guys are polish but they use some obscure english words that you need google to find their meaning. 10/10
Yeah, like zeitgeist and stuff
@Mastema Tbf zeitgeist and gehinnom are not English words. Also, not everyone's first language is English. Don't be a dick :)
Zenith April, I know what you mean. As someone who speaks multiple languages, I’ve noticed I’ll use words that seem normal to me but are rare or “obscure” to others. For example, to say “I am wrong” in Spanish, you could say “estoy equivocado,” which literally means “I am equivocated.”
In Spanish, you’ll hear children using the translation for equivocated, but almost only in philosophy classes at universities will you hear it being used in English.
My point is perhaps the lyricist was using words whose polish translation are a little less obscure. Or maybe all their language teachers instilled a love for learning vocabulary. Hahah
@@kevinberstler Yeah. Polish has a lot of words loaned from Latin, so maybe they just feel natural to the lyricist.
English education in most of western/central Europe is extremely good, a thousand times better than what we have in public school/college for Spanish/French/etc. People there are pretty much fluent by 12-13 years old. Finland for example teaches English, Swedish, and Russian.
“An when all is said and done. Even the devil won’t care enough to spit in the mud.”
This is just so amazing. Gets better each time
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
Definitions :)
Sarx - Old Greek for "flesh", a brief google search seems to suggest its from an old bible translation
Abbattoir - a slaughterhouse
Gehinnom - a place of spiritual punishment and/or purification
perfect
If poetry had a physical being it would be mgla
Not very old, modern word is Sarka (Σάρκα from ancient/pureform: Σαρξ) - Flesh
@@georgie535 badass, thanks much!
The drums are crazy when the vocals come in
Now they found their final and best polished style.
The conclusion of what all of us expect from Black Metal.

@@maxrabid4429 That was one concert in Wiesbaden. Been there one time. Smelly shithole, run by idiots.
@@zorroya4856 Nearly their whole tour in Germany was cancelled. The one in Nuremberg I tried to attent aswell. Pure shame that a small group of idiots who feel bad about Mgla can have such a big impact.
@Jesus Christ Denton Kassel was canceled
The lyrics seem to be written in the perspective of the nephilim, the watchers who witness the clash between the fall of man and the idea of glamour and fame. It is cleverly written and well designed to fit the phrasing of the incredible drumming.
This is why we are fans of this style of music. Salud.
Just got my tickets for one of their shows in México! I can't believe i'll be watching them live
Enjoy the ride dude, they're such a treat live!
Saw them in '17 as the last band of a festival, at 2am. Shit was amazing
in live it's fucking awesome...i saw them twice 👌
Finally.... the very best return
@Treasures of Sin I'd rather not, would be better if Mgła would tour Europe in the winter.
Beside darkthrone i had Just put 2019 in the trash an when it came to music. Every week 20 new shitty records. Then i found this masterpiece a few weeks ago. I really dont need another record this year. This fulfills my every need

You realize that the band has quality when they quote words like "zeitgeist" in their lyrics
The only black metal band that never disappoints .
Well, this is truly just their second "mature" album, as I personally will call it/them. Groza feels too harsh at times. So, we can't judge them until they release more albums now that they're confident and have established their sound completely. Everyone and everything has the potential to disappoint. Give them time.
@@soullessSiIence Oh I think "With Hearts Towards None" was truly mature as well.
I even think that it is even better than Exercises in Futility.
@@InsanelyUnholy man... With Hearts Towards None is an ineffable masterpiece. I like it better than Exercises. I feel it is a slightly better.

First Krzysztof releases Batushka’s true follow up and now new Mgła? Oh Poland you’re too good to me this year.
I never came faster in my life ... in every sense of the word.
It's been a while since the last album and this doesn't disappoint. MGLA have a unique sound and I'm glad they're staying with their style.
Amazing. Incoming album of the year.
MGLA the revelation of Europe is back lml
Damn. This is good. While we in Scandinavia have gone flippi'n insane the last 20 years you guys in Poland really have your act together. 👍
...as if there was any doubt mgla is the best black metal band of our era....
Great job!
Greetings from Serbia!
This is so damn good.
I hardly listen to extreme metal nowadays but MGLA is definitely a band I still look out for and always reminds me how much I love the genre! Great song as usual expecting the album to be one of my favorites this year easily!
Oh hell! I was a bit scared to listen to this to be honest, thinking that it couldn't possibly live up to the absolute mastery of Exercises. But here I am. Completely blown away once more.
Holy shit! I've been waiting so long for a new recording from them, their shit cuts so deep and is so relatable to me
Best BM song I've heard this year. This is the epitome of Black Metal. I think the production is even better than in Exercises. I'm waiting for the Fog to come to México in their latinamerican tour in 2020. Can't wait!
Sounds very promising in regards to the rest of the album.
Another masterpiece incoming. HAIL FROM BRAZIL!
