BLESSED BE: The vocals, and the lyrics

BLLESSED BE: talent and the republic of Poland

BLESSED BE!

Fuck you very much FUCKER !

@@BabiKitching lolwhat

Yes; and it's different from the first three "Blessed be" lines. There's objects (masks, cross', spikes) in the second lines; here we have dreams.

That's the one that got me too

The simplest true, hit the most! Cheers, from the "Mist" land!

Yes, I`m a stonemason too!

I hope it's "their dreams" and not "the dreams" as other comments and on-screen lyrics indicate. The line is so impactful and horrifying with "their"💪

I have no idea how he does that. I can't even do that on air drums :D

@@Baltimore_Hood_Vines_2014 wtf, i never commented on this video, and i dont know what that numbers mean. I deleting it now.

Touché!

This universe is full of disappointment..pain..and misery.

Friend much!??

I think it's the opposite: the disappointment leads to angryness.

@@guilhermedaselva4046 Close. Expectations are what leads to disappointment. Because of our blindness to see the world as it is. Instead we see the promises we give to ourselves and none other can fulfill. This disappointment leads to frustration which we cannot accept that we are it's makers. And as it burns we grow resentful of those who forced us to endure this pain. Who failed our expectations. We throw burning coals to hurt the others only to burn ourselves in the process. And this is the anger.

Haha. I must admit that I had to read your comment twice to understand it, but then burst out laughing.

You're crazy man, that's so damn funny.

Holy shit, that's one of the most inteligents jokes I have ever hear

Thanks meme response. Still funny tho.

its funny because human reproduction is an exercise in futility in front of certain extinction

Okay meepo

The lyrics are pretty dark, standard fair for black metal. The difference is he's actually singing notes along with the melody. Whereas other vocalist sound like they're narrating a scene.

And u want them to be the next behemoth by becoming mainstream?

@@jean5453 - Yeah, need some antidote for the auto tune garbage out there....

Try batushka

Jon

Wow! You have a great taste in music. Have you considered doing a drum cover of this song?

daaaaaaamn! :D (un)holy shit!

Best line of the song, and they’re all fantastic.

Make a vocal cover of it. Someboody once told me...

Sounds awesome, for some reason.

They should play Stoke, on one rainy day

Blessed be Black Metal! 🤘

I'm so amazed by his work! Killing it!

I'm a metal fan since the early 2000s, when I was a teenager. I started with Nu Metal, moved on to Heavy Metal, on to Thrash Metal, then Metalcore, Deathcore, and Death Metal, but I never liked Black Metal. This band, and this song specifically, opened my mind to Black Metal. I decided to give it a chance, and now I enjoy dozens of Black Metal bands. But these guys, and this album specifically, and this song in particular, will always be my favorite. It's a masterpiece.

Opeth and Mgla fan?? Yk your shit both some of my fav bands ever

exercises in futility album it´s one of the best for me!

Iiiiikam

Totally agree, 100th like is from me...

yeah, this song another level

This song takes you places that are transcendent and paradoxically motivational in spite of it's dark fury

Is the last part an allusion to Dark Souls? 🤔

​@@tony-ceeeshut up

​@@tony-ceeeyes

what do you mean? these guys are underground as fuck, which is why they're great

@@mtinfinity7845 No, not really. They're pretty known in black metal.

With Deathspell Omega thrown in the mix, but that band takes a tremendous effort to get into.

@@tarikay93 Also Blut Aus Nord and Terra Tenebrosa. But challenging music - no matter what genre - is even more rewarding at the end

@@charlottekrasny Dude, I forgot those two even existed! You're right.

its spatial, like the stars speak. I know this band yet, but his sound is like only sound a great band

It is about us man. No melancholy here pretty straight forward message. No surrounding of emotion, emotion is enemy of man.

Not really melacholic to me or im so used to listening to doom.

@@Hellenicheavymetal thats why it sound so genius. Its the blackest of metals. Emotionless.

This is my favorite part as well.

Thank You !

And here it is, Grown from within, An invincible stronghold, Adorned with death! A suit of shining armour, replaced the skin And calligraphed sins, are as coat of arms!

​@@aco9880 I'm having hard time understanding the meaning of the lyrics so far i get it's against the hypocrisy of society.

holy lord haha!! how the fuck did you even see that!

Duuuuuuddddeeeeee

I hope you are okay man, with all the shit going on.

Dude hope you're ok. A lot of bad stuff is going down where you are, hope you're safe. Slavia Ukraine!

are you still breathing

Don't push it. They're good though.

Truth

@@IvoMaropo LMAO Well put man. Personally I think that Plaga out of Poland is one of the best black metal bands that's creating music right now.

@Raven Lightwalker what do you need explained?

@@poncho_x4410 Yup. But the thing is I've been following Black Metal and extreme music in general since the 90's. Mgla is a great band, to be sure. But they haven't reinvented the wheel of extreme music, so to speak. It's just that they're one of the few bands these days to release material whose quality reminds us of the good old days. But that's all there is to it. They're really good, but certainly not the best thing since sliced bread. Lol. It's just that people are not really used to high quality Black Metal these days.

What these guys did was put melody ,harmony and composition of the song over just having strict black metal elements. So yeah, it jams like a symphony of war hammers crushing the undead.

@@violent_bebop9687 melodic black metal is an established genre of black metal

@@alexvermaak1759 - I dont think so, the vocals with many other bands are not in melody with the music. Often sounds like an evil demon speech. Here the singing is with the melody and in tune, like a rock song.

"Pure nihilism, entwined with hate, vitriol and aggression" ... thats black metal talk right there ;)

I also find it a very mature black metal. How it's supposed to be. No clown stuff or edgelord satanas. Just pure emotions and art coming straight from the heart and soul. This music and especially MGŁA illustrates the loss of faith, nihilism, despair and aggression and lifelong disappointment.

Luuk Steemers lmfao

Yeßsss satan.

Nur Ayuni more like morgoth lol. Morgoth is the ainu of discord aka. Black metal

Haha you are right

Sometimes it seems that people just steal other jokes from other videos but I can never tell you made the first joke.

It is indeed a catchy track. The progression and dynamics are simple but just perfect.

I'm a sixty-one year old Black Sabbath fan; and this is probably my favorite song ever. I just don't get tired of it.

Likewise. Do I know you?

Let's built one brother

in the live show he is "Lord Darkside", :V

@@DaniloAcevedo są lepsi

@@dreamtheatre7364 Może i są, ale to co ten gość robi to jednak jest rozpierdol totalny.

tak :)

dissection at his time was indeed the most major thing that happen to black metal.

Yeah for real. I'm already getting sick of bands that being like: OH LOOK BABY WE ARE THE SATANISTS! SATAN MY LORD I AM YOUR CHILD. On the background of these bands Mgla is a pure jem

I mean, those lyrics are really only common in raw black bands that are going for that whole 90s, 2nd wave black metal gimmick, a lot of newer black metal bands deal with way more than just satanism when it comes to lyrics. Panopticon, Xasthur, Shining, Peste Noire, Midnight Odyssey, just to name a few, deal with society, depression, drugs, nature, countryside life, space etc. See how much variety there is? And these are the more known bands, I didn't even want to start with underground stuff. If you only listen to black metal that deals with boring satanist lyrics, I suggest you search a bit deeper lol

This seems to be focused on a sense of existential "cosmic" horror and despair

You reminded me of kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLGDZLqFspzKqps.htmlm2s ^^ We're all going to die, and our names will be forgotten :P

Ive always felt that darkness and despair pair better as lyrical themes with black metal than the whole Satanist deal. Cold music, cold themes.

Haha 8 mins is already pretty generous for this kind of epic

I listen to songs 1,4, and 5 as often as possible; almost every day.

When M. gave interview, he said, they both did everything, writing texts and music, and they didn't address to anyone out of band. Such amazing work!

Great description and so true!

Couldn't agree more! I adore them. Raw and pure.

This is pure satanism. Especially on their early records (Groza etc.)

whats wrong with "horror, satan, blood, evil, demons...."??

Well nothing, there are just way too many bands who base all of their lyrics on that same mentioned topics and to be honest, it is really boring. Satan, demons etc. are all too well mentioned enough in classic Norweigan black metal and endless bands that copied or followed that style. I find it refreshing when new bands come with new toppics, like Mgla and Batushka, since they base their style and lyrics on eastern (anti) christian (orthodox) and pagan motives that are quite different from western christianity (catholic). For me it is especially interesting since I live in part of Europe where people practicise hard-core orthodox christianity.

😆 yeah those drums seems like a very beautiful dream are almost unreal

Same here, specially to Exercises in Futility

Na zdrowie

Zgadza się. A jakie głębokie teksty mają! Zobacz to Reakcja chrześcijan kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n76FhdWrqLG4mX0.html

100/100!!! Pozdrawiam z Podkarpacia.

Ale do Rotting Christ (Rituals) jeszcze im trochę brakuje xD

@@DaivaDarpana kwestia tego co kto lubi, jedni powiedza ze Mgla jest lepsza od Christow a drudzy ze Christ jest lepszy od Mgly takze mowie to kwestia gustu. Dla mnie osobiscie te dwa zespoly bija cala scene black metalowa a to dlatego ze bardziej jestem nastawiony na melodycznosc i cala atmosfere zbudowaną w utworze jak i dobre teksty(chociaz jesli chodzi o tekst to nie zawsze zwracam na to uwagi) a w tych dwoch zespolach jest wszystko to czego potrzebuje do przejscia w inny swiat, bardziej mroczny, czasami smutny bo i Rotting Christ ma takie utwory w starszych albumach (albo ja to tak inerpretuje xD ) tak czy inaczej wszystko to kwestia gustu i tyle ;)

@@DaivaDarpana dobra nie doczytalem ze odnosisz sie do albumu Rituals, na darmo tamto pisalem xd

Ah yes, my favorite language. Random.

@@artyizgarus1288 Polish language, since the band is from Poland 🙃

@@alexsasha5306 yeah bro I know I was just joking, I couldn't think someone coming to take this seriously and then comment like he was the most knowledgeable.

Dobra robota

@@artyizgarus1288 Yeah, but as a Pole I can only admit, that this translation is accurate and well pointed. Btw polish language is great for poety. There is a guy from Japan in the polish youtube, that speaks polish and live in Poland (Ignacy z Japonii) who said that he's in owe of polish language, cuz for example in polish language Poles do not repeat words. So a simple question in japanese would look like this: Japanese (in english :P): Daiki goes to school. I like Daiki, he's my best friend. We often meet with Daiki to play chess, Daiki often plays better than I do. Polish (also in english): Daiki goes to school. I like this guy, he's my best friend. We often meet with this 18yo lad to play chess, dude often plays better than I do. So it's all about: Poles are learn in school that repeating is wrong - DO NOT REPEAT, BE CREATIVE ;)

This drummer is insane

I call you a giant nerd

would go110%..but they re hard to find.ive texted them to come to ireland lol.

I saw that they toured with Behemoth. That would have been a sick show

I had the chance to see them live when toured Australia with Gorguts. Being a complete moron, I forgot to buy tickets and didnt go. Hopefully they will come back to this side of the world one day hahaha

Next year in summer😍 i cant wait

will see them this year at Rockstadt Extreme Fest. fingers crossed for the whole Exercices in Futility album live! :))
