lyrics

Continuing our research, we find a lost cave
Enclosing nightmarish creatures, sleeping in their icy grave
Excited by our discovery, we move into forbidden knowledge
To the door of our insanity, we blindly build a bridge

Creatures from another universe
Reflections of the Necronomicon
They do not belong to the Earth
Lake dissects creatures and opens them in a breath
Expecting to find answers to the meaning of life
He will find the meaning of death

Some stories say that they had created life
Are we the result of experiments, created with a surgical knife?

You, the old ones, which can defy sea, space, and everything
Us, humans incompetent, we are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing
We are nothing

We were looking forward to joining Lake to investigate his discovery
Without imagining that we would find a cemetery

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 281 fans who also own “The Elder Things”

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..... grote_smurf

Litourgiya
by Batushka

supported by 247 fans who also own “The Elder Things”

Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime. Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques.

supported by 213 fans who also own “The Elder Things”

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! Lukas Kaufmann
