lyrics

The hatred of antiquity
Of all sentient life; of the the scat of the Earth
I discipline myself to
The Labors of my Loathing

Toiling toward doom and God
Beyond all, beyond all
To commit Labors of
Loathing I, do commit

In cruelty, my task sprawl before me
In cruelty, I transform creation
And so I loathe

My action is my reason and with each and every swing,
My hammer breeds its purpose
Slipping into a maddening state
Hallucinating orders from beyond

Severing the spines of my foes
Slave to the voice of my being

Calling me to carry my sledge
The puddles I make will be of their flesh

Grinning inside to be what I am
Glorified, my Labors of Loathing

about

Scalpel Boston, Massachusetts

Death Metal is a visceral art that is dependent upon the extreme dedication of its loyal fans. We have no other purpose but to deliver a version of this art to those same fans like us, whose lives have been claimed by the likes of Suffocation, Carcass, and Death. It is in this vein that we construct our own brutal dirges, devoid of genre restriction and eager to explore the darker realms of music. ... more

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

Exercises in futility

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
