lyrics

Eternity ago
The world was pure and lifeless
The Nature was dead and beautiful
No Life desecrated the Earth
The Rain was falling from the dark clouds
The Fire exploded from below
The Stones shacked in cataclysms
The Air was black and venomous
No order was enslaving the Earth
Lords of Chaos laughed from the Mist
The Elements collapsed and mixed
Creating smoke and steam, mud and dust
But then the Life appeared
The filth corrupted the world
And the cry of a new-born child
Was an epitaph for the dying Purity
It must be destroyed...
We know
The Elements shall unite once again
And this implosion
Shall disintegrate the living things
Only Evil beings shall survive Armageddon
And their Life shall be replaced with
Undeadly Immortality
We are the ones who hail that hour
When the world will be cleansed of Life
We shall see its fading
In the raging Apocalyptic Fire
We'll become Undead Lords of the earth
And let any of humans shall continue to live
They will fulfill
Our flaming Hunger
With their blood, pain and fear
...The Earth becomes the Stone...
...The Water turns into the Ice...
...The Air condenses into the Fog...
...The Fire is eternally cold...
The Elements unite the second time
In the Moonlit Night of Apocalyptic holocaust

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Return of Ancient Purity”

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

Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world. This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms. zaphexa

Every release I listen to is going to be compared to the standard that this album sets. This is 9 years of work compressed into 61 minutes of absolute glory and a proof of Wann's deep love for the genre. Holy shit, what an album. Truly, what an album. Ultimhate
