about

Enigma... It is a damnation to the creator. The damnation by one who is solving the mystery of the god's creation which is just a white noise and nothing more.
Inspired by “The White People” by Arthur Machen.

lyrics

Ein Enigma
Kein Enigma

Das Dasein der Schöpfung lehnt
Das Geheimzeichen ab
Ein spitzes Skalpell hackt
Die Grundursache ab
Der falsche Naturtrieb kämpft
Die Einbildung ab
Der Schleier des Großen Nichts kühlt
Die Millionen der Sonnen ab

Disharmonie diktiert ihre vernunftlosen Hauptsätze:
Keine Weisheit, keine Wahrheit

Das weiße Rauschen ist
Die Massenangst ist
Ein endloser Wachtraum ist
Die gottgewollte Ordnung

Tropfen für Tropfen, Schluck für Schluck
Das Gift des Missklangs nässt dein Glück
Tropfen für Tropfen, Schluck für Schluck
Das Lied des Himmels dreht zurück

Für die Sehnsucht ist aber keine Straftat bestehend!

Die hilflosen Suche nach der Grundursache sind verschüttet -
Ich will aus weiß schwarz machen

Die Endlosigkeit versteckt sich
Hinter der Großen Mauer
Das weiße Rauschen begeistert sich
Für seine unendlich viel Leistung

Im Labyrinth der Vernunft Gotts
Gehe ich mit meiner Stimme fehl
Sehnsucht nach der Nacht

Ich versinke in dem Geräusch
Sein sinnloses Sterbegewand legt
Meine Flügel lahm

Aber meine Eingebungen
Können eine Detonation auslösen

Es ist unverbindlich
[Den] Großen Architekten gleichzustehen
Um Seine Schöpfung zu zerstören

...zu zerstören

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Enigma
No Enigma

The creature's existence denies
The secret sign
A sharp-pointed scalpel smites off
The ultimate cause
The false instinct conquers
Imagination
The veil of the Great Nothing chills
Millions of suns

The disharmony dictates its thoughtless laws:
No Wisdom, no Truth

The white noise is
The mass fear is
An endless waking dream is
The divine order

Drop by drop, gulp by gulp
The venom of cacophony irrigates your happiness
Drop by drop, gulp by gulp
The Song of the Heaven turns backwards

But there are no crimes for the Passion!

Helpless search for the prime cause is entombed
I want to turn white to black

The Infinity shelter itself
Behind the Great Wall
The white noise admires
Its infinite cardinality

I was lost with my voice
In the maze of God's mind
Yearning for the Night

I welter in the noise
Its insane cerement chains
My wings

But my thoughts
Can explode

It's not necessary
To be equal to the Great Architect
In order to destroy His Creation

...to destroy

Age of Excuse

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 9 fans who also own “Enigma”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowski

supported by 8 fans who also own “Enigma”

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

Mdłości
by Mgła

supported by 6 fans who also own “Enigma”

Black metal en su forma más pura. No suele ser uno de los trabajos más recordados de Mgła, pero sin duda es de los mejores. Lo considero un punto de inflexión en su discografía, ya que el salto de calidad de Presence a este EP es abismal. Es, además, el primer trabajo de la banda con la alineación que se ha mantenido hasta hoy. Y se nota. Si alguna vez alguien me pidiera un sólo trabajo para definir qué es el black metal, sin duda elegiría Mdłości como referente. Gon)))
