The line "self crucifed, missed the right tree, tore the wrong eye out" is a refence to Odin, not christ. When did jesus hang in a tree or tear his own eye out?
Matthew 5:29-30: "29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell."
@@sator666666 and what you just said doesnt explan ithe self crucified part or the tearing of ones own eye out. This line is purely about Ođinn. If anything the story of Ođinn is older than Christ. On this same album, the make refrences to Yggdrasil. To think this dudes lyrics weren't inspired by Native European religion is absurd.
@@jeffsimmons4822 no, thats entirely on you, buddy. yes, there are alternative connotations AS WELL, but make no mistake - The references have a biblical match regardless whether you like it or not. i mean, come the fuck on. think about it. Poland, the country the band is from is conservatively Roman-Catholic as fuck. it is not a stretch to assume things.
@@somberlight thats the whole point :) the current wave of polish black metal bands all have religious themes. And most if not all refer to or mock the bible/Catholicism. Take the band behemoth as an example, they are often debated to be more of a death metal band than black but the point stays nonetheless. Polish children are raised catholic from birth for the pure reason of history and tradition. Many new polish black metal artists sort of “rebel” against or defy catholicism as a result of that. Mgła are a little different than the rest but share the same distaste that the others do towards the catholic church. This part of the song has many interpretations but Oþinn’s journey for wisdom in Havamal fits the most to these lyrics. Oþinn pulled out one of his eyes to gain wisdom from the well of Mimír and as a result learned the runes. The part about him being crucified to a tree refers to him hanging himself on the branches of Yggdrasil for nine days and nine nights in order to learn about the 9 worlds that Yggdrasil holds.
I recommend checking out the band Dissection, since you listened to Watain a while ago. It's a band that they're very much inspired by. I'd say the track "Where dead angels lie" or "Night's Blood" would be great to start out with. Cheers!
First, I love the hat. Second, until you said you were gonna shave, I thought you were growing your winter coat, and I understood, Brah. Third, this band is very powerful. Hadn't heard 'em before. Surging instrumentals, creating a sense of urgency. Ominous vocals, creating a deliberate sense of unease. Jaded and cynical? I wrote the f***ing book on those, pal! Nihilistic? My middle name. (Took me until 5th grade to learn how to spell it, though.) Actually, I am very blessed, very fortunate in my circumstances, but I like to peer into the darkness from time to time. Good to have you back, btw!!!!!!!!!!
@@FinneousPJ1 Gonna be uploading some Blood Incantation later tonight... not sure when the next black metal song will be. hopefully soon! There's a few I've been waiting to do.
They are probably the best black metal band presently. P.S. Welcome back & don't even think about shaving - you look so badass now. Hopefully I, among others, can soon hear your opinions on this live performance: Vulture Industries - Strangers (official music video) th-cam.com/video/G8Cy1s4XNZU/w-d-xo.html
Might be, but I think that "self crucified - missed the right tree" means that while Jesus sacrificed himself for others, we make sacrifices for ourselves in order to ultimately gain something, which is why we "ought to burn".
@@pauld5665 So it means that whoever sacrificed him-/herself did not gain what s/he was hoping for, unlike Odin who gained magical knowledge with the right tree. Am I right?

haha unfortunately I saw your comment too late, my homeless chic vibe is no more
I think "missed the right tree" is refering to a pointless sacrifice of Jesus or anyone, but I get your point. Great video!

Self crucified - missed the right tree
Tore the wrong eye out
It's a reference to Odin and Yggdrasil...
