Shark Ethic

The bearer of burden returns with inability to cope with separation anxiety. It remains to torture me until I breathe and don't scream. It stays to chip away at me until I sleep and don't dream. Roots from my feet sprung like barbed wire and serpent's tongue, rendering me still - a quadriplegic in an iron lung. On my back with scavengers above. The scent of carrion - rotting love. Master your fear.

This is a call to arms for every human who still has a shred of life left in them. If they want what we have, let's see them try - come and take it - try to take it. You won't take us. We don't die. For the lives of those who think and feel, for all who still try, for those who touch nothing they cannot steal - hope is the last to die. With promises and poison they try to fill us. It will take more than everything they have to kill us. Make the first shot the best you've got. Miss and live to tell? I think not. For the lives of those who think and feel, for all of us who still try - on the soil of this battlefield, hope is the last to die.

Driving Angry

May it rain on you forever. We are all alone together. Crippled by selective memory. Choose which lie to believe. One man heartstring tug-of-war. The more I love the more you leave. I hate you with all my heart. Counting on the law of threes. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There's something not right that can't be made right. Everything in focus now. Gag and vomit at the sight. It seems you've forgotten about the gifts I had to give. If this is the case, perhaps I'll forget to forgive. I hate you with all my heart. Counting on the law of threes. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Damage Control Freak

Do you believe in hell below? Do you fear a God above? Soul searching on dead end streets. You can shove your fucking love. No actions without consequence. Nothing said makes any sense. Fuck what you've done. Take what you want and fucking run. Life here is war. What do you fight for? Are you alive? What gives you good reason to survive? Are we alive or are we all just waiting to die? On these crowded streets I'm completely alone. Awake in flames in this disfigured city I call home. Watch time elapse. Watch the world collapse. Life here is war. What do you fight for? Are you alive? What gives you good reason to survive? Are we alive or are we all just waiting to die? Life here is war.

Mad As The March Hare

Lock me in a room, throw away the room. There's nothing left. Growing fears. Sleep for years. Wake in tears. I'm on the edge. I'm on the fucking edge, I swear to you. Make one move. Give me one excuse, I dare you. These words are ammunition. This voice is a gun. Not one of you is safe. Fuck you all. Turn and run. I've learned my lesson. Life is barren and bereft. Deaccession until there's nothing left. Putting you away or putting you to rest. Denial or death, which one is best? So much for trying. So what, you're dying. Better you than me. Boiling contempt. Singe and sear. No escape from here. I'm on the edge. I'm on the fucking edge, I swear to you. Make one move. Give me one excuse, I dare you. These words are ammunition. This voice is a gun. Not one of you is safe. Fuck you all. Turn and run.

Type A Personality
02:11

I am my father's son. A mile-wide mean streak through me runs. What I deserve, what's lived gets learned. Connections cut, loyalties turned. Born to destroy. My knives are praying in delirious thirst. In cancer city I am the cursed. I'm at my best when things are worst. The sharpest tongues cut their own throats first. Born to destroy.

Oxygen Debt
02:45
|

Commitment to lasting and total destruction. Leave nothing left. Breathing annihilation. Living the darkest obsession. Flesh scored like a field. Byproduct of dissolved inhibition. By now you'd think I'd have learned my lesson. I'm this close to giving up. In one breath turn wish to wonder. Don't follow me. I'm going under. No progression. Gaping lips anticipation. Distorted one-sided reflection. Crippling depression. Pernicious suppression. Abandoning conviction. Internal eutrophication. Pure elation in regression. I'm so close to giving up. I cease to wonder. Don't follow me. I'm going under.

Diet For A New America
03:06
|
|||
|
No death songs are sung. No hesitation to devour the young. Take what isn't needed - leave the rest. Bleed until there's nothing left. Bred and caught. Sold and bought. No thought to what human hands had wrought. Every day, a hundred thousand slaves. Every hour, a thousand graves. Hear the chorus of the calloused drown the sounds of endless malice. Now the sane must decide when to answer the call to defend. A practice of cannibalistic insanity. Sadistic neanderthalic barbarity. Bred and caught. Sold and bought. No thought to what human hands had wrought. Every day, a hundred thousand slaves. Every hour, a thousand graves. No escape, no relief from suffering beyond belief.

World War You

I was on the ground for years. The ugly truth carved out of fear. Always looking for more to steal. Full-color nightmares becoming real. This pack of wolves is haunting me. Unrelenting, unwelcome memory. Light feet and sharp teeth are tracking me. Follow the scent of tragedy. In packs they gather. With fake smiles they greet. They, the hunters. I, their meat.

Narcoleptic Sleepwalker
04:05

The bloodiest will loathe the cleanest. Like scavengers with desperate, wild eyes, the abused become the meanest. Of all the starving, I am the leanest. Remember me - remember me to no one. Cut out - cut out my restless tongue. The disastrous compulsions which lead me to this embrace like a plague, like a viper's kiss. Cut out my tongue to stop the screaming. It's human nature to keep on dreaming. Magnifying just to see less. Sewn together until seamless. Every one of us will be this: drugged and fucked until dreamless. Remember me - remember me to no one. Cut out - cut out my restless tongue. The disastrous compulsions which lead me to this embrace like a plague, like a viper's kiss. Rest your ugly head and sleep now. Sleep now. Life will change. Keep dreaming. Life will change. Keep dreaming.

Thousands of years of illusory days of deceit. Hollow eyes of simple minds flattening their feet. Atrophied minds, easy survival. No wants, no needs. Their hands on their Bible. Work for the worn, safe place for the sane. A place for lies unveiled, mistakes made plain. I wait while the world wakes. Find a home for my hands. Desperation holding hands with tragedy. Lost time colluding with lunacy. Take the holy out of war and what's left to fight for?

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.....

Very late to the party, but for several years I've found melodic black metal all too similar and all albums sounding like Dissection, etc... HOWEVER, not only I am back into it but UADA is still a layer of complexity above the main baseline and this is an old album worth having, that's a basic milestone in UADA's discography and I felt it needed to be part of my BC collection.

When done right, this kind of extreme death metal makes me smile and enjoy life. This does! Is it it's intention? I don't know. Either way, life is grand!
