Lo! How vast these silent halls stand less the splendor of the song once sung!
Where men their valour hath cast to the dogs and women dance as whores!
Oh! How great the shame with what haste this feast to famine hath turned!
Black is the nectar with which you whet your tongues; the golden words once uttered now lie forgotten.
How long will you writhe amidst the ruin of another’s folly?
Where are we to sow our seeds amidst the endless decay?
Mine will be the hand to cast the torch to this empire rife in its falling!
For I have seen the substance of your earth.
It is grey.
It is dead.

I yearn for the twilight horizon; haven upon those shifting sands.
To hold the warmth of the kindled flame upon the brink of the infinite unraveling.
Countless were the hours spent bleeding the sun as we piled our stones to the heavens and tore apart the sky.
Now time the thief has taken his toll, though the blood that stains his hands shall never have run for nothing.
Never, but never, shall I turn away from the brilliance of our flame.

Upon what skull is crown beset to afford such travesty as writ?
That in darkness we are left to stumble with our hands devoid of sword’s hilt.
Truly tis the folly of fools to tread any path unarmed!
For unbeknownst to one when time shall come for need of spear or sword.
Hark, brothers! Let radiant infinity open sleeping eyes!
Again let hands blades hold fast and thrust them to the face of man’s façade!
Beneath open sky again shall burn the flames of our revelry!
Beneath our feet shall run the blood of those who had stood in our way!
With the grimace of kings as from gallows they swing again shall true strength reign!
Through the vacant stares of your beheaded sons, this world shall see its rebirth!
Burn by our brands!
Bleed by our hands!
Never shall you see remorse!
For every wrong you have ever wrought yours shall suffer a thousand fold!

Mine stone-set eyes hath their gaze cast to the burning of all before me.
Tumultuous the ebb and flow of perpetual Nihil, fodder to amassing disdain.
Churning the vortex above this earthen throne.
Driving iron core to relentlessly sharpen its blade.
Storm-borne of wisdom for which men had once hung.
To rend asunder the choking roots of rotting growth upon oaken arms.
Whilst you waste beneath the delusions of men I shall ascend by the words of legend!
Your life shall burn for but a breath, whilst I shall stand forever!

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 29 fans who also own “RuneEater”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end.
