The only record that brings me into its emotional space every time no matter where I am. It's heavy in that way, a gravitational force. I can bear life's pressures with this pressure bearing down on me. Benjamin Morgan
I've had a poster of this album for years, only fitting I finally buy the album. This album completely destroyed me emotionally when it came out, I love the juxtaposition of soft and clean vocals with banshee shrieks interspersed within the songs. A must have for any fan of blackened hardcore. porcelainheart-
Probably the most balanced and well-executed genre blending of any of Deafheaven's records. I would say this is the most accessible record in their catalogue. victor-nightingale
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
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
