francompalmieri Yep. Furia is great. Batushka is one of my Fave ones. Uada I will check out. Thanks for suggestion. Do no forgetting old school Kat, Fullmoon, Velez, Graveland, Venedae... Also Lord Of Evil and even Konkwista 88 I have listened to.
Flavio Renato Oh my god I forgot Graveland and Venedae, thanks for pointing them out, haven't listened to Lord Of Evil and Konkwista 88, gonna check them out.
the concept of blackened faces and bleak lyrics and nameless songs is absolutely fucking genius. also the music is the right amount of catchy without ruining it
@Finq08 No bullshit i still dont know what any of them look like. Like i never bothered to look for interviews or photos on google, maybe i should keep it this way. Do they show faces in interviews and shit, like photos out there or is total mystery type of shit haha
@@j.christiansonsr.7285 Polish bands have the best aesthetic and atmosphere/Aura. The original Batushka is another great example of this. It goes a long way when the identity is concealed.
Mgla has a very unique instantly recognizable style/sound...and very consistent through all their album releases..with what must be very rich musical/cultural influences from all members...thank you Poland!!
It sounds weird, but Mgła reminds me a lot of a Spanish BM band called Andhord. At least their (Andhord's) very early work before they even published an album. Good days..
Those guys are doing the best stuff that Black Metal has to offer. They deserve every praise they have got since last year and even since before. This performance is flawless, and so full of flowing emotions. Respect from México!
Check Entropia - Ufonaut album, you won't be disappointed. Members are named U,L,T,R,A. They have song in Cyberpunk called Future Drugs. And they played concert 300m underground, at Guido Mine in Zabrze, Poland. Yes, we have concert hall in fucking MINE. Welcome to Poland, the Wild Center.
@@kronus4915 I think he's referring to the lack of flashy costumes or effects. Their music is complex but the way they deliver it isn't which makes the music stand out even more
@@kronus4915 percussion is amongst the most complex, string not so much but definitely up there as far as "complex" goes but that's rather subjective when it comes to black metal.
@@TerminalM193 it's much more than individual performance, strings or percussions. It's more about songwriting, harmonies and layering all those melodies.
Exercise I has moved me to tears with how beautiful it is. Such perfect nihilistic poetry paired with music that feels like existential panic. The atmosphere is suffocating. This is the gold standard for black metal.
thank you Poland! may i offer my humble but deepest respect from the USA.^^^^^ BEHEMOTH.....VADER.....MGLA....BATUSHKA....may it never end for us my brothers! The talent and intelligence and will of these people applied to their arts is as honest as you can get, and that deserves much respect! I will straight up go to war with these guys any day!
What the fuck, I clicked on this video and started doing something, then got back to it and realized it is a FUCKING LIVE RECORDING, Jesus Christ what a precise band and a perfect sound.
MGLA has been an awakinging band for me. i enjoy black metal and Heavy metal, but this band has really opened new doors in the metal genera. I just wanted to say thanks to them, and for the upload.
Absolutely breathtaking performance! they are giants of black metal and have to stand in line with darkthrone, burzum, mayhem, emperor, dimmu borgir and so on... what a great band. the best and darkest, nuhilistic lyrics i ever found in BM. just great to have 'em! \m/
In Italy we are in shit, people are dying like flies and in the endless days of isolation, Mgla's music helps me. Friends from all over the world, pay attention!
Congrats, that's an awesome quality sound. I wish see this guys live some day. How ironic, The first time I heard exercises of futility I did not finish appreciating it, they are like wine, you have to taste it to appreciate it to the maximum. I love them now !
Mgla is one of my favorite bands. A very simple and well thought out stage image, strong, dark and emotional music and humble people. They are far from the garbage black metal bands that later became chauvinistic. Greetings from Turkey.
There is a style in total denial A certain elegance of fear Hesychasm is so much convenient With the desert within ourselves Stray dogs lead disciples of Oedipus As the shrouds gently cover Exquisite paroxysms of ruin And well mannered choking on nothingness Nether The cracks in soma, psyche and pneuma Are as one way mirrors It's one well lit desert And the pyres extend beyond the horizon And cold flames flicker upon ashes of hope Through hallways carved in a crystal On to the uttermost parts of the pit Jostling through cadavers of former selves You would swear there's amusement in the eyes of the dead Again, nether A reward for the perseverant: Unceasing howling of the heart Bound to walk this path Nether, again, nether - now and forever I wish it was classic fire and brimstone But clearly there is a very special plan Paved with havoc and shattered virtues As if there were any other paths With every dream The pyres grow taller An enemy of trust A misled scholar Stray philanthrope In vain endeavor Walk this path Now and forever
Goose bumps! Im totally mesmerised and hypnotised. What a class band! They walk a new path of black metal. And how fantastic their look is. These archetypal black jackets, masks and hoods. They look like the dementors of rock n roll. So stylish. They are unbelievably awesome!
Love this band... Coming back to this gig very often It's so true, dynamic and fucking brutal:) Those guys just amazing.. No silly costumes, no piro effects, no fucking painted faces... Just came up and did the job, exellent!!!
Never expected then to make a better album after Exercises in Futility was released but they did it with Age of Excuse. Hope they will release and live album together with a live DVD.
Glad to see the Nazgul have found a new career after the fall of Sauron.

I'm so proud of them.

A Nazgul's got to do what a Nazgul's got to do.

No show. No paint. No ego. No faces. Just music. Fucking awesome.
yep masked singers :) :)
This band is our national treasure :) Greetings from Poland.

I have listened a lot of Polish bands, but, the worst ones was Ohtar and Thunderbolt
Have you listened to Furia's new album? Fucking great.

This band has the best melodic/harsh balance I've ever seen in Black Metal. And the LYRICS are awesome.
Batushka? Dimmu Borgir? Emperor? Borknagar? Early Ulver?
Listen svartidaudi 😉
Same as Dissection
@@thisisnotlasvegas Not even close to Mgła. Ulver? Yes. Amazing band.
@@ivanjovicic6685 Yeah, I love both Mgła and Dissection.
the most unique drummer in this genre...

I guess that is Frost look up 1349 punch in the face every time

Think we are also forgetting Hellhammer from Mayhem as well!
Mgla were simply amazing, definetly one of the highlights this year. This is how modern Black-Metal is supposed to be
check out Vreid though..they dont play modern..just Sogndal black........decending from Windir
Indeed
@@jacksonzhangthyMetalhead I fucking love windir
Shame there's no drum-cam, Darksides playing is always such a pleasure to watch.
The man is a fucking beast.
The drummer is most exciting players in this band and yet every live clip features three guys in leather jackets almost standing still. What a shame.

Maybe metal is not only about posing !
check out the DrummersFromHell channel, im sure he's on a couple of drumcam's there!
Been into metal for 30 years and this is something else
Same here. Since 1990 and this is outstanding
I said the same thing. What's going on the last handful of years in Poland is changing metal for the better.
Listen to groza

@@joebenson528 Unpopular opinion, but I've found Bart's version far more brutal and more appealing to my ear. Just LOVE both bands.
My goodness,the frontman voice and bassist voice work so damn good together!

Actually mgła is created by two persons
No powiem że petarda.35 lat słucham metalu i wciąż mnie urzeka i zaskakuje ta muzyka na +
Wychowalem sie na Turbo ale behemoth i mgla zrobili mnie
słyszę w duszy od 20 lat nomeansno,victims family,today is today
trafiłem przypadkiem w Mgłę
nie lubię tego słowa ale to jest -genialne
Fuck, whoever composed those main riffs knows real pain.
How do they make their music so melodic but still so fucking heavy????? Amazing
Their riffs are so perfect they create that,, wall of sound''. For me this band is top notch, no band can't defeat this originality and perfection.
Paradoxally, Mgla gets me out of my doubtful moments when I can't take myself anymore. Thank you.
I discovered Mgla 1 month ago. At first I didn't like it and now listen to it 24 7 and headbang to it 24 7 and this will go on for a year
Those guys are doing the best stuff that Black Metal has to offer. They deserve every praise they have got since last year and even since before. This performance is flawless, and so full of flowing emotions.
Respect from México!
A huevo putos lml
Respect for Mexico : )
Ya en un par de días comienza su Tour acá en Mexico, va a estar cabron
This band along with Batushka are absolutely incredible. Black Metal really has some treasures. This music touches my soul. Well done Poland 🇵🇱
Dues Mortem as well. They had my favorite release for black metal last year easily
Batushka sounds more passionate as for me, totally like them. Mgla sticks to more of the groovy side.
My two favorite bands.

one of the best Black metal projects in the history, Cheers from Sri Lanka !!!!!
I keep coming back to this performance every other day, just brilliant!
This band proves that sometimes, less is more.
Not sure what you mean, their music is among the most complex in black metal.
@@kronus4915 I think he's referring to the lack of flashy costumes or effects. Their music is complex but the way they deliver it isn't which makes the music stand out even more

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BLACK METAL BANDS EVER. Great work!
Joe Ott STL here, but I agree with you 100%
This is the sound i have always wanted from a band, MGLA delivers
If someone interesting:
Guitars - ESP LTD EC-401
Bass - Fender Deluxe Aerodyne Jazz Bass
Hey thank you, I came to the comments precisely to find this out! I wonder what string gauge/brand they use?
Not sure, but the lead singer is using a wound third, you can see it at 3:19. Pretty sure the other guitarist is as well.
I think its esp ltd 1000 deluxe. Take a look at gold finish
Really nice fucking amplification, too.
@@wiktorw2254 yeah, probably an EC-1000
When i need the days at work to pass by quicker, i play Mgla and time seems to fly. Thanks boys. All the way from Hayden, Idaho. 🇺🇸
Fuck they need to release a live album, it's so much more intense than the studio version
Plywood Jones faster than the studio version ;)
Plywood Jones I agree the live sessions are better
Agreed
Yea they Play a bit faster live
and the lyrics are much more intense in live performances.
Exercises in Futility is a powerful album and Mgła are my new gods.
One of a very few bands where you can hear bass line while they are playing live
I have never been afraid of reading BM lyrics. But this band and their texts.. so much truth.. So much painful truth...
which song specificaly?
david wolf I would say exercises in futility VI

It's incredible how solid this band is live!! I'm sure their shows are hypnotic, so perfect
I saw them in Barcelona and it was an awesome night. Have to mention their drummer, he is a monster!
i was there too. polska strong!
Martiruhay with Behemoth? I couldn't make it but would have travelled five hours just for them. Hope they come back soon...
That explains the mask...
Holy fuck the mixing quality is incredible. I can't get enough of these DRUMS!!!!
I will never forget that festival. What a great way to be introduced to a band!
Exercise I has moved me to tears with how beautiful it is. Such perfect nihilistic poetry paired with music that feels like existential panic. The atmosphere is suffocating. This is the gold standard for black metal.
M. And The bassist voices sounds so powerful together!
This band is simply too good to put into words and its strange. Saw them live in Manchester a few months ago too
thank you Poland! may i offer my humble but deepest respect from the USA.^^^^^ BEHEMOTH.....VADER.....MGLA....BATUSHKA....may it never end for us my brothers! The talent and intelligence and will of these people applied to their arts is as honest as you can get, and that deserves much respect! I will straight up go to war with these guys any day!
I recommend you Hate, Plaga, Furia, Odraza too. And early Decapitated were one of the best tech death metal bands those days.
@@TheDymeRrotten Christ, Kat, Mech, nawet frontside, albo artrosis
The lead guitarist is AWESOME
This album is a masterpiece, this band is taking black metal in a new direction, and I love it.
For me, the best band of black metal in the history. Why? Because is completed. Atmosphere, song, live performance, cult lyrics. Very very nice.
it's amazing how Mgła has a mesmerizing sound! I can't stop listen to this epic black metal band!
"Burning bridges becomes a habit to support, and the frontline expands like there's no tomorrow."
The best performance of the whole Brutal Assault.
1349, also 🤘🏻
This band is Amazing! an absolute Revelation inside the Black Metal scene
special thanks to the lighting director on this set.
Masterpiece of sound and lyrics!
These guys are simply a treasure. Vocals, lyrics, and overall sound is fucking incredible.
I must say Poland makes the BEST metal ever 🤘🏿❤ love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
MGŁA !!!
It just doesn't get any better than this. A truly fantastic band, they deserve to be mentioned as the best there is, and hopefully in time they will.
amazing band live! seen them in dublin last year, very impressed.
This is beyond beautiful.
Never heard these gents before until watching this video, and I have to say.. Well done! They seem to be one of the best on the playing field today!!

Crazy tight band. One of the best sounding live bands I've heard
Exercises in Futility I is definetely their best song
I really like the 'No Solace' CD. Mgla is one of the most unique, coolest Black/Death/Experimental/Avant-garde bands ever. Highly recommended.
There is a style in total denial
A certain elegance of fear
Hesychasm is so much convenient
With the desert within ourselves
Stray dogs lead disciples of Oedipus
As the shrouds gently cover
Exquisite paroxysms of ruin
And well mannered choking on nothingness
Nether
The cracks in soma, psyche and pneuma
Are as one way mirrors
It's one well lit desert
And the pyres extend beyond the horizon
And cold flames flicker upon ashes of hope
Through hallways carved in a crystal
On to the uttermost parts of the pit
Jostling through cadavers of former selves
You would swear there's amusement in the eyes of the dead
Again, nether
A reward for the perseverant:
Unceasing howling of the heart
Bound to walk this path
Nether, again, nether - now and forever
I wish it was classic fire and brimstone
But clearly there is a very special plan
Paved with havoc and shattered virtues
As if there were any other paths
With every dream
The pyres grow taller
An enemy of trust
A misled scholar
Stray philanthrope
In vain endeavor
Walk this path
Now and forever
Goose bumps! Im totally mesmerised and hypnotised. What a class band! They walk a new path of black metal. And how fantastic their look is. These archetypal black jackets, masks and hoods. They look like the dementors of rock n roll. So stylish. They are unbelievably awesome!
This is more than just an amazing band, MGLA is total masterpiece! All the songs are perfect!
