The ambience and the emotion this album has are not describable. This album is one of the main reasons I started making post black metal my self. Nemus
If it comes to atmosphere and contrasts, this is my most recommend album. The screams, the sound, the mixture of melodic, slow parts and the emotional breakdowns into fast blast beats. Perfect. Nemus
One of the most emotional albums that I've heared so far. The shouted screams and those doomish strong melodies give me goosebumps everytime I listen to this LP. So much emotion captured. Nemus
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

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
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
