Mgła is a polish black metal band. Mgła means "fog"

[@ROFLBOB24]

As a drummer, Darkside of MGLA is, in my opinion, the creme of the crop. His drumming skills are unfathomable. He's unbelievable. I think he is the best drummer in the game right now.

[@st3929]

His cymbal work is incredible.

Omg, u for real!!! Another reaction to Mgła. U son of a *****, im in! Mgła again, that's hella amazing. U did a reaction to them already, but different track. They are Polish modern black metal band.

Absolutely true. Mgla rules!!!

[@jukkarissanen2256]

Yes

[@marszczelec]

That was amazing! I feel like this is exactly what Mgła does these days - makes you reconsider what really black metal is. That it's not senseless noise, but a lot of talent, beautiful melodies and emotions. I hope that after this first step you will make another one. Don't be afraid my friend, this is just the beginning of a beautiful journey :D If you would like to check something similar in terms of accessibility, then I highly recommend: - Sing For The Damage We've Done or Heroin Waltz by Harakiri For The Sky - In The Absence Of Matter by Uada - Where Starlight Does Not Shine by Sinira - Bruma by Møl or literally anything by Dissection. Have a dope ass day!

@Els: clearly because the are by far not good enough compared to other BM- bands out there and even when it comes to polish bands (where not so much good metalbands come from) there are the mighty Vader since 1983 and people just dont take time to get into true metal. I dont say Mgla is shit but they are just in the middle. They become the "Manowar" of BM, and no true diehard likes Manowar. You can, dont get me wrong, but I just look at it with ears that listen to BM since 1994.
