@@absolutedisease1699 thanks to your comment, I discovered The Committee; a great band too, thank you very much !!! I can't listen anything else now. I wonder how I could missed a band like that.
Been one of my favorite drummers and one of my biggest influences for drums since I heard their EP "Presence" when it came out. The guy is creative as hell and on point like a metronome regardless of the speed he's playing at.
I have a feeling that with this album, Mgła matured enough to get between top class metal bands. They worked out their style - music, image, art - everything harmonizes as it should.
Midaspl Everything harmonizes as it should except the despicable drumming. The drummer is just on his own playing whatever he can come up with. It's so so so far off that it's distracting.
Yep, l already see copycats out there. Imitating Mglas musical style and also covering their faces. That old face paint that Black metal band often used isn´t as common any longer.
yeah man, for some reason it sounds like it has more dimension and dynamics. more "organic" if you will. Should use this approach for the following albums.
What I can appreciate the most, is that they're just genuinely playing their instruments. They aren't trying to make it look flashy or more complicated than it is.
it's always the same, lel... people from the new continent complaining they don't get to see european bands and european metalheads complaining american or canadian / brazilian / whatever bands can't afford to get their asses over to europe :P
His vocals are just bursting with pure emotion in their live performances, and are more powerful than they are in the studio. I do love his vocals on the album, but I think this just gives it a whole new layer of intensity!
I prefer the theatrics and aesthetic here to the typical corpse paint. Corpse paint sometimes ends up coming across as quite camp and ridiculous. This puts fourth a much more believable and less gimmicky atmosphere when coupled with the music. Kinda lets the music speak for itself.
Its typical metalhead look for Poland, high leather military boots for correction boots like dr martens but more aggressive ones, leather jacket and a black hoodie underneath it, regular black Levi's or black military pants
It's there for your to focus on the music at hand. Therefore the masks as they have said themselfs. They don't want you to look at them, but to hear the music at hand.
My only complaint, critique really, is that it would have been nice to see more of the drummer. Get your camera guy on stage and have him walk around. It's nice to see from behind the drummer once in a while too, especially when he's in full blast beat mode. Great song otherwise!
Dude, Darkside is featured in a ton of drum cams. Do a search for them and you'll thank me later. A cameraman has absolutely no business being on this stage, let alone walking around on it. This isn't 80's metal. It would kill the performance.
I saw them three times and they are just astonishing, there are no words to describe how perfect their live performances are... and this track... damn it almost made me cry, fuckin hell love Mgla!
Doctor, I have a problem. After listening to the Mgla I get energy and optimistic thoughts. What's wrong with me? Best BM ever. I can't explain why, but they are the best.
thanks man, there was a huge thrash, death and black metal wave in Poland few years ago and now we all grow up to make music like that. I am so proud...
This is a masterpiece in all aspects! Exercises in Futility has been my daily companion for a year or so! Looking forward for a new album... Respect from Syria..
Simplicity is always the best way of making things, and Mgla have realized that. Their music is simple, in comparison with other bands, but they know what and how to do it, and it has made them what they are today: A fucking leviathan of BM. For me, the best band of BM out there.

Their guitarist is purely incredible. I've seen them live in Dublin a few days ago and I was at the bars right in front of him. I couldn't believe how he manages through such demanding playing which is constant and without pauses throughout the live! He has an amazing performance and presence as well, intense \m/\m/
Shivers are inseparable from their music, that's a well-known fact. But that last verse, and the way he puts all his heart and passion into the scream.. It brings tears.
What is it with Polish people and our undying obsession with all things despair and melancholy? Józef Conrad, Krzysztof Baczyński, and now these modern masters Mgła who write in such cohesive and hauntingly beautiful ways. Even mirroring the great polish writers of the early to mid twentieth century in their execution. One of the greatest bands to ever come out of Polska. Much love to you, Mgła
Don't forget all of the incredible Polish artists and their dark imagery. Zdzislaw Beksinski, Dariusz Zawadzki, Jakub Rozalski... I don't know much about Poland, but they seem to channel a level of darkness and despair in their creative works that I resonate with strongly
@@andersonprimer Yup, it's an inner fascination with the darkness many of us carry. I have lived in Australia my whole life but my whole family seems to have this and I can attest for myself. It will only do damage to you if you don't find an outlet for it, ie the works of art you guys mentioned. My theory is Epigenetic-trauma due to a literal historical lifetime of constant warfare, genocides, invasions and annexations in that area of Europe. It has fucked with the genes of the people resulting in them becoming perpetually alert and encouraging the adoption of heavy analytical thinking to try prevent these things from happening again, resulting in the obsessions seen with certain topics. These tend to come out as personal values that result in different areas of obsession, some art, some politics, etc. But you can see it in the general Polish attitude towards life, well at least on my end. Essentially it's similar to general anxiety, however, I believe it has become ingrained genetically. Just my theory from talking to my family, having an interest in my background and country of origin as well as being a professional in the field of mental health and therapy.
@@musicointempero2256 fascinating. I regrettably don't know any Poles irl but it's really interesting to read your analysis. fellow Australian of foreign extraction as well here. my country of origin has had/still has plenty of trauma but I don't know if that affects me as much as just my own personal experiences, for which some of what you're saying rings true as well.
This not a stupid satanic black metal act, it is what I love in black metal, gems like these ones, great music, real subjects that hit the nerve of every thinking human with conscious. Read lyrics and say you can't relate at least a bit to it. A day before 2018, this is still a bar to reach for most of competition.
Black metal is satanism. But I get your point, you're not wrong with the latter part. MGLA sets a pretty fucking high standard for today's black metal.
@@jannehanhela9607 No it is not. There is a big difference in misantrophie, nihilism, satanism, anti-religion/christiandom, selfhatred, ironie, distruction of everything in existence and utter depression. these are all parts of black metal and there are many more. sure there are connections between it. some bands combine these things some not, some bands have a different view outside the band while others are completely identifiable through their music. back in the days maybe it was a core fundament of BM but not today and the focus on anti-religion especially on christianity was always bigger then satanism. people who think otherwise did not understand the ironie, blasphemie behind their lyrics cause on frist note they seem satanic but they are not. just like the burning of a church does not mean you are a satanist
@@jannehanhela9607 Not necessarily. MGLA presents a really sad, nihilistic, hollow worldview. To me it doesn't differ much (in topic) from Slayer which also depicts the dark side of humanity. The music is amazing.
In a way, the fact that they choose to cover their faces, despite showing tremendous talent, speaks of their humility, they don't need to be recognized as celebrities, these dudes be true.
When I go to a Mgła performance I imagine myself standing there in awe while everyone around me is rocking out. Exercises is one of the best if not the best black metal album I have ever heard. The lyrics are deep and fill my soul with existential dread. The vocals are packed with emotional hopelessness. If someone would ask me what nihilism is I would just show them this album. It can't be explained any better.
Im close to zero nihilism man, and Mgla fills me with so much energy to live. Rather pulling out of my body nagative things and We together destroying em.
Są dwie sprawy, sam fakt jak ciężko dostać winyl z tą płytą świadczy o wielkości Mgły, 2 pierwsze partie poszły w mgnieniu oka, ponoć chłopaki chcą wytłoczyć jeszcze 3000 kopii, to jest kurwa imponujące jak na podziemny band, druga sprawa jak bardzo musi być wkurwiające granie w takiej masce, wiadomo skąd ta agresja. \m/
You fucking RULE for posting this. This was so pro-shot that i think if there is more footage, there should be a DVD. Exercises was my favorite album last yeah and I am proud to have been a follower of this band since the beginning!
MGLA has surpassed Behemoth. Behemoth has decided to broaden their appeal and add elements of pop to their sound. MGLA has not compromised their style.

Mgła goes into the studio to record. The producer sets up a vocal recording booth, but the singer removes the pop filter. "Why did you do that?", the producer asked. "Because I'm already wearing one", Mgła said. hahahahaha
Thank you Woda i Pustka.. It so different from other live videos. This video creates impression, that I am so close to band and I can feel, what they feel while playing this song.
One of the greatest black metal live experiences of my whole life. I've seen those guys in 2016 in Lyon (France) with Behemoth. Will never forget this. Greetings from France, you guys are awesome.
I will finally witness this on Friday! Another life-defining moment for me, like when I first heard Iron Maiden aged 13 and my first exposure to 'Reign in blood' several years later. Hail Mgla!
Futile Steps I'm not trying to explain... I just like them more and wanted to know if you listened to Thantifaxath or not... If you didn't you should check out their EP, it's only 15 minutes long but it's some of the best Black Metal you'll ever hear
This is why i still listen to black metal, after these years. Pure magic.
Denis Vertinsky this i why I had back to black metal
This is why i came to black metal after 20 years of metal without any black metal. This, Kriegsmaschine and The Committee.
Nice pic Denis
@@absolutedisease1699 thanks to your comment, I discovered The Committee; a great band too, thank you very much !!! I can't listen anything else now.
I wonder how I could missed a band like that.
exactly
Darkside's drumming is just impeccable. Great work on cymbals, makes their music sound versatile and clear.
Been one of my favorite drummers and one of my biggest influences for drums since I heard their EP "Presence" when it came out. The guy is creative as hell and on point like a metronome regardless of the speed he's playing at.
Really impressed with the ride cymbal work he did there...
I'm convinced this is the best band to come out of nowhere in the last 10 years
I have a feeling that with this album, Mgła matured enough to get between top class metal bands. They worked out their style - music, image, art - everything harmonizes as it should.
simple is always better as shown
Midaspl Everything harmonizes as it should except the despicable drumming. The drummer is just on his own playing whatever he can come up with. It's so so so far off that it's distracting.
The drummer makes the difference
i love this drumming!
oh yes !
Amazing band. Polish black metal scene is awsome. Greetings from Russia!
Yep, l already see copycats out there. Imitating Mglas musical style and also covering their faces. That old face paint that Black metal band often used isn´t as common any longer.
Whta's this hype with youtube profil pics ?
Russian BM & Pagan is awesome too!!! Greetings from Poland!
I like Mgla, but I kind of thought they were copying Portal a bit with the mask thing, that band has been doing this for way longer than Mgla.
maybe beacuse mgla is younger... all bands doing corpspainting are copies too? give me a break!
To uczucie gdy cały świat podziwia potęgę polskiego Black metalu
Cos pieknego..
Jest moc😈🇵🇱
Fucking shivering took me at the end with these vocals. Such a masterpiece.
The screams to the void of meaningless universe.
Is it me or do his growls sound better live?
yeah, w think so to mate
They do, maybe it's the production of the album that kinda softens the sound too much. Live the sound is much more powerful.
yeah man, for some reason it sounds like it has more dimension and dynamics. more "organic" if you will. Should use this approach for the following albums.
I think so too; they’re more like percussive barks compared to those which one hears on the album. It reminds me of early 2000s Behemoth somewhat.
Agree!!!
3:34 and towards is one of the best moments in black metal history for me..
vasilis st. True, that riff is hypnotizing
What I can appreciate the most, is that they're just genuinely playing their instruments. They aren't trying to make it look flashy or more complicated than it is.
Most probably because they can't bloody see anything..
This was amazing. You guys should release the whole performance if you have it and it's filmed this way. Great stuff!
+Myke C-Town Astounding way to film a live performance, so original and exciting, perfect for this music. I hope for a DVD of this soon.
+Myke C-Town well, i highly doubt they will release the demanded footage.
Well, I'd buy it even on VHS if it were available. Maybe it is, gotta check!
fuck yes
I think there should be more focus on the drummer. Watching him playing is so much fun.
youre absolutly right , he only showed twice on the video
In Bathuska he became main person on screen
darkside isnt the drummer of batushka
They cover their eyes, and M singing and playing the guitar
In the back Darkside killing it
This band is the best black metal on this decade.
I like how they play their songs live like 15 % faster
+Forêts Nordiques pretty good comment...lol
+Forêts Nordiques what a shame, I do not think they will ever play in Mexico
it's always the same, lel... people from the new continent complaining they don't get to see european bands and european metalheads complaining american or canadian / brazilian / whatever bands can't afford to get their asses over to europe :P
they are hurry to drink :)
ich habe ich noch nicht so gut wie möglich zu machen und dann noch die Frage
I really like the vocals and the overall atmosphere of this performance. It seems like these guys are taking black metal into the right direction
they sure aren't making it pinker.
Undeniably the best black metal band in our lifetime.
yes, they're compositions are amazing
Better than nimpity jimper?
better than red hot chilli peppers? /s
Well, I like them, but I still prefer Nile.
6:08 The way he fucking screams the last verse... goosebumps everywhere.
yes ...
+ba7arna10 They tend to do that, on record and live. It's a good thing.
His vocals are just bursting with pure emotion in their live performances, and are more powerful than they are in the studio. I do love his vocals on the album, but I think this just gives it a whole new layer of intensity!
the overall tempo of the songs contribute to that...I wish they would do that on their records aswell
Sounds like Nergal from Behemoth.
There's something so utterly badass about their outfits. Quite different from the usual black metal fare.
I prefer the theatrics and aesthetic here to the typical corpse paint. Corpse paint sometimes ends up coming across as quite camp and ridiculous. This puts fourth a much more believable and less gimmicky atmosphere when coupled with the music. Kinda lets the music speak for itself.
I quite like Misþyrming's get up when they're performing, not too stupid and not too over the top
Its typical metalhead look for Poland, high leather military boots for correction boots like dr martens but more aggressive ones, leather jacket and a black hoodie underneath it, regular black Levi's or black military pants
@@brandontadday6288 Batushka has a great theme set-up at stages and costumes when doing shows. You should check them out if you get the chance.

Best BM ever. I can't explain why, but they are the best.
Антон Станевич probably your depression or bad feelings bleak in comparison. i feel that way.
There's a hope in their bleakness. It's like hitting the absolute bottom and knowing it can't get worse. It's freeing.
+Guilherme I dont think nihilism and nationalism would work together.
after you realize that our world has no meaning, not necessarily you will face despair or sorrow. think it as another step for self fullfilment.
Guilherme Yes, you are loser and you want to be part of something great...we got it
EIF is a Reign in Blood for the 201x's. As Epic, as abrasive, as great. Mark my words, this is a classic, to be spoken of in decades to come.
Saw them live today in Cologne!
Too bad you don't see more of the drummer in the video. That guy is a magician.
There are tons of drum cams of Darkside here on TH-cam for your enjoyment!
Too bad I can press "Like" only once.
Can't handle this... Such a beautiful piece
The whole Exercises album is a masterpiece! the atmosphere it brings is mind numbing! Cheers to those guys, really! Wow...
yet another quality recording, mgła as always revaluates perfection into their standars
Druga Strona Medalu what
black metal on steroids :D safe ave
This guy easily has my favorite voice in modern BM
I can't get over this song. The build up in the end is just so fucking brilliant!
This band is a beautiful gift upon the earth
Polish scene is excellent and MGLA in my view is the best band in Poland. Greetings from the southern hemisphere

+Necroguttural Batyshka is an one-hit-wonder, when Mgla has delivered quality for already 10 years now.
+homelessathome time will tell. Not sure why people bother arguing over this - both bands are pretty amazing.
Listening to this with headphones, soundboard picked up the yells from the crowd in stereo. 5th wall, broken.
Incredible performance.
3:35 Black metal at its finest.
Nattestid best moment in the album i think....
100 % agreed. My favourite moment as well. So fucking amazing...
i agree with you
That riff... 👌
I really love this part in the album version of the song, since it ads that one line and goes fully nuts after it, it's just so fucking good
EXERCISES IN FUTILITY VI
As if you didn't know how it feels to lose
As if you didn't know how it feels to lose at dice with fate
At least have some dignity
As if it wasn't a lifetime spent on connecting the dots
There was no pattern
As if the irony was more than a defense mechanism
And we could actually laugh for a change
As if steel hooks in our backs were more than a nuisance
And we could actually feel something
Self crucified - missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
The hissing of hellfire
Self crucified - missed the right tree
For this I've gained a victory
I burn as I ought to
As if everything was to be made right one day
Dreams don't come true for people like us
As if the gods were bored with peace in our hearts
And their fingers are itchy
As if we never broke people out of sheer boredom
And slept calmly among the wastes
And then, we see bright and clear
As if we would be someone else
While mindlessly wandering through the mountains
As if we would be someone better
Spelling purgatory in Latin alphabet
Self crucified - missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
The hissing of hellfire
Self crucified - missed the right tree
For this I've gained a victory
I burn as I ought to
As if all this was something more
Than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere
Another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility...

That must be one of the best comment i ever saw.
Yes~The focus is on the music, not the image! The rest of the industry has it backwards, but thats ok with me, easier to sort out the BS
I bet it helps motivate them to focus on their music instead of allowing themselves to be corrupted by success.
Perfection!!!!

more such videos please !!! this is fuckin amazing
Это просто шедевр!
Эти парни доказали мне еще раз что Black Metal все еще жив.Respect!✊✊✊🤘🤘🤘
the best black metal band in this years, mgla so amazing!!!
Awesome , please come again to Athens Greece
nice performance but cutting the intro is a big mistake.
rakı içip mgla dinlemenin keyfi de bir başka. black metal dinleyicisi türklere selam olsun
NordHeim2 vay be tam bu bandı keşfeden tek Türk müyüm acaba diyordum :D sen yine de rakı içme dikkat et kendine. Kaliteli insanı bulmak zor bizim ülkede ;)
aleyküm selam mglacı kardeş :)
This has to be the best shit I've heard in ages
voltiax voldidachs how old are you?
Antonio he could be 80 years old. Literally MGLA beats everything out there
As if you didn't know how it feels to lose
As if you didn't know how it feels to lose at dice with fate
As if you didn't know
As if you didn't know how it feels to lose at dice with fate
At least have some dignity
As if it wasn't a lifetime
Spent on connecting the dots
There was no pattern
As if the irony was more
Than a defense mechanism
And we could actually laugh for a change
As if steel hooks in our backs
Were more than a nuisance
And we could actually feel something
Self-crucified
Missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
The hissing
Of hellfire
Self-crucified
Missed the right tree
For this I've gained a victory
I burn, as I ought to
As if everything was to be made right one day
Dreams don't come true
For people like us
As if the gods were bored
With peace in our hearts
And their fingers are itchy
As if we never broke people
Out of sheer boredom
And slept calmly, among the wastes
And then, we see bright and clear
As if we would be someone else
While mindlessly wandering through the mountains
As if we would be someone better
Spelling purgatory in Latin alphabet
Self-crucified
Missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
The hissing
Of hellfire
Self-crucified
Missed the right tree
For this I've gained a victory
I burn as I ought to
As if all this was something more
Than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere
Another chapter
In the handbook
For exercises in futility
Great show yesterday night in Brussels (Magasin 4). Congratulations in darkness.
Mgła goes into the studio to record. The producer sets up a vocal recording booth, but the singer removes the pop filter. "Why did you do that?", the producer asked. "Because I'm already wearing one", Mgła said. hahahahaha
" As if everything was to be made right one day " this part sends shivers down my spine
As if all this was something more than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere; another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility.
I hope I get to see them live one day, they sound great here
That is weird how we can ear the crowd in the background. ANyway, nice performance, can't wait to see them live in Montreal
the quality of this video is superb

Thank you Woda i Pustka.. It so different from other live videos. This video creates impression, that I am so close to band and I can feel, what they feel while playing this song.
Beautiful footage!!
One of the greatest black metal live experiences of my whole life. I've seen those guys in 2016 in Lyon (France) with Behemoth. Will never forget this. Greetings from France, you guys are awesome.
niezmiennie... ciary po całych plecach...
I will finally witness this on Friday! Another life-defining moment for me, like when I first heard Iron Maiden aged 13 and my first exposure to 'Reign in blood' several years later.
Hail Mgla!
hypnotically melodic! polish black metal at its finest
Aggressive yet melodic ! An absolute great band with an innovative style. Fantastic!
dreams don't come true, for people like us
My boyfriend took me there last year.
Absolutely amazing 🖤
The best black metal band after 2000.
+Futile Steps
It's Thantifaxath of course
Its kind of individual thing so...this is just my opinion.
Futile Steps
Have you listened to Thantifaxath though?
Does a bear shit in the woods ? Do not to try to explain why you think its better, your opinion, end of story. Bye
Futile Steps
I'm not trying to explain... I just like them more and wanted to know if you listened to Thantifaxath or not... If you didn't you should check out their EP, it's only 15 minutes long but it's some of the best Black Metal you'll ever hear
I love this live rendition!
