[@ik3rian]

Oh God, the whole Exercises In Futility album deserves it's own video - masterful musicianship, exquisite drum work, incredible journey from start to finish

[@275Ranger275]

That album is incredible. M writes brilliantly and Darkside crushes.

[@HCXWinchester]

YES!!!!!!

[@TheHammerofDissidence]

Darkside is probably my favorite. Kriegsmaschine shows off his drumming more imo.

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Happy Black Metal Friday 🔥I actually did 7 tracks but got blocked on Emperor and Circle of Filth so I had to re-edit and we only have 5 bands. AWWWRIGHT!!🤙

[@dima_r6]

Right on man 🤙

[@anttisaarilampi]

Awww that's too bad! Loved the video but I definitely was missing Emperor. I've been heavily into black metal for almost 30 years and you seemed to get it really well. Waiting for part 2!

[@Flugmorph]

ah thats a shame about the ones you had to leave out. was a great time hanging out anyway!

[@Leiferuphugus]

😭😭😭

[@hmart6881]

Pretty sure this is about CRADLE of Filth, but apart from that - shame on youtube. This should be a free ride, it's an educational program.

[@sentenced03]

Ahh that cymbal work on mgla makes me so happy. The live drum cam of him going to town is so awesome.

[@MrTelorix]

Simply amazing... one of my favorite drummers, behind Blake Richardson from BTBAM. The album is a masterpiece but the crazy part is Age of Excuses is even better

[@gnarxy]

More BM and more MGLA!. Not sure if your thing or not but Futility V Drumcam really displays the talent of the drummer, especially the cymbal/bell work.

[@saulgoodman1390]

Thanks so much for doing Mgła (pronounced Mmm Gwa) That whole album is phenomenal and a modern black metal masterpiece! Don't worry, you didn't do anything out of order, they don't have song names; just the name of the album I, II, III, IV etc... Poland seems to be the black metal kings these days; another band you should check out if doing more black metal is fellow Poles Odraza. Their most recent album Rzeczom is incredible!

[@BeataCe]

True. Check out Valinor from Debica. Especially an album "This is night".

[@losxdescabezados]

Saul, I love you on your show but I think Ukraine, Russia and France are making some of the best BM out there right now... Mgla is a good intro band.

[@alcofgod4211]

Listen to Lux Occulta from Poland: Dionysos (1997), My Guardian Anger (1999), The Mother and the Enemy (2001) - musical masterpieces.

[@MrTelorix]

Polish Black metal is amazing in general. Vader is fantastic. Also Kriegsmaschine (same drummer as Mgla)

[@TwallThePk]

Definitely think you should do one dedicated to norwegian second wave black metal bands exclusively (examples: DImmu Borgir, Enslaved, Darkthrone, Satyricon, Burzum, Mayhem), but this is a great concept.

[@pieflies]

And also include Immortal and Gorgoroth

[@maddo7192]

Would be great for Halloween but that would take to long now 😅

[@ckokomo808]

That would be awesome. Do a session for each “wave”. I suggested a few more modern bands to compare the style and production to older bands.

[@DarkAnubis]

I agree

[@Puppet33]

Emperor!

[@Pindolene]

Unrelated to the video, but I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work! Your videos feel like a really safe place to come to when life is overwhelming. Mahalo, my friend!

[@ccristian1715]

You chose such a great song from Mgla. I would love to see more BM on your channel! Thanks!

[@linusfotograf]

If you do another black metal slow burn session you’ll have to include something from Darkthrone, Celtic Frost or Enslaved.

[@nfldraftman]

Darkthrone, Celtic Frost AND Enslaved. :)

[@brianburchfield6987]

Approaching my mid 40s black metal is my favorite genre by far because there is so much internal variety.

[@synge9116]

yoooooo this is sick

[@GregsWhiskyGuide]

Great idea & that was a blast, well done, Geebz !

[@KeyOfGeebz]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@VenomUponTheBlade]

mgła is Polish and is actually pronounced "mgwa" it means fog. I've been listening to them a lot lately cool to see you check them out. Definitely gets stuck in your head it's awesome lol.

[@blackmetalpaganbushcraft9542]

The black metal and your analysis kept me here!

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

BURZUM has amazing atmosphere and tbh the dude who wrote music for Burzum is a genius, one man band to write so much unique stuff. And Bathory... Bathory is justsomething different, another one man band. RIP Quorthon, his music sounds so 80s and 90s in the terms of mixing and sound quality. whenver i listen to his Nordic Folk Metal albums like Nordland, it takes me back to the times when i used to watch all the van damme movies, Highlander etc

[@olavrell]

Some things to note about the Mayhem track, and the whole of the Deathcrush record. Is that this was the first time the band was in a studio, the studio technician had no frame of reference for the genre, the band was playing. So the resulting sound is a mix of inexperience, a certain idea of what they wanted the sound to be and what limited funds they had for time in the studio.

[@olavrell]

Actually this is something that goes for a lot of the early recordings of most bands from Norway around this time. As it took a while before studios started to come around to genre, and dedicated producers got a feel for it all. "Pytten" at Grieghallen studios in Bergen, being the first producer to really work alot with Norwegian black metal bands in the early 90's.

[@larryhaug71]

Still here!! Happy BLACK METAL Friday!! Awwwright!!🤙

[@JohnMcGurrell]

I'm still here. What a brilliant slow burn. You take care good sir

[@PK--ITA]

btw. Geeb, I recommend that you listen and rate Death "The Philosopher", the band that created the music genre. And if you love bass guitar that way :) btw. RIP Chuck Schuldiner, the vocalist & guitarist, the legend. Actually Venom was playing Thrash / Black and listen to it, Bathory is one man, Quorthon (RIP in Devil) thx for 2 Polish bands 😈😈

[@joshuacanipe7688]

I'll put these bands in perspective for you, in chronological order. Venom was really just primitive thrash with lyrics and sloppy production that inspired black metal. Then Bathory came along and really started cementing the trademark sound of 2nd wave black metal with the buzz saw tremelo picked guitars and higher pitched shrieking vocals. Then Mayhem spearheaded the Norwegian scene, further taking what Bathory did and really focusing on poor production on purpose. There were murders and church burnings involved with Mayhem and this scene in the early 90s. They lived what they sang about. Behemoth is a more modern Polish band that mixes black and death metal, and does it masterfully, and MGLA, another Polish band really takes the 2nd wave style and modernizes it with much better production and makes black metal beautiful in my opinion.

[@CookDeadCows221]

Agreed 👍

[@wowno5763]

"they lived what they sang about" they were just edgy cringey teenagers lol.

[@992ras]

Actually the first band to put everything into use was Sarcofago which is where Mayhem got there sound from the Birth of Death metal and black metal were just Thrash metal bands. you can also here it in Valcano which you can hear both Death metal and black metal. When you think of face paint, leather, bullets belts, and sound that was Sacrofago

[@joshuacanipe7688]

@@992ras yes Sarcofago, from Brazil, was a big influence on the Norwegian sound and aesthetic.

[@wowno5763]

@Dragon Ball fans can't read this dork is actually simping for a bunch of nerdy teenagers lmao.

[@tropiq]

Hey Geebz, to contextualize these tracks for you a bit, venom and bathory are considered some of the pioneer black metal acts (alongside hellhammer, celtic frost, influences from other bands like mercyful fate), taking heavy metal and thrash metal and trying to expand upon it, go faster, heavier, darker Mayhem on the other hand was part of the next wave of bands that helped solidify the core sound, its mostly credited to early norwegian acts of the time like burzum, darkthrone, immortal, emperor Behemoth started as a kind of run of the mill black metal act but they evolved into what's now called blackened death metal, they could be considered one of premier examples of that subgenre, the demigod album you sampled here is where they kind of truly made the shift from black metal on the forefront to blackened death metal i feel, and continued to refine the formula with subsequent albums When it comes to Mgła, they represent modern black metal with a more melodic bent, while there are a lot of cool modern black metal projects that do interesting stuff within the genre (like imperial triumphant, akhlys, esoctrilihum), mgła keeps it closer to the core style while still sounding fresh

[@marsvoltian]

Great rundown man, I agree with this summary for sure. I think the most notable element of Mgła is the drumming, especially on this album he runs insane blasts and adds cymbal melodies within it. Next level

[@tropiq]

@@marsvoltian darkside is a beast on those cymbals, that exercises in futility V drum cam that was making rounds through all the reaction channels at one point is a master class of starting simple and evolving the beat as the song goes on

[@DallasGunther]

That was a great breakdown, seriously. Thanks for taking the time to do that. If I hadn't have read that I might have done a more ham fisted attempt but could have taken a lot longer. Anyways, props. Edit; after reading everyone's responses I'm pretty sure this must be where all the cool kids hang out.

[@ServantofErra]

Black Metal is one of my favorite genres. On a fundamental level it’s extremely simplistic but this simplicity has allowed the genre to evolve in very complicated ways. Do a review of Krallice’s second track “IIIIIIII” off of “Years Past Matter” for a Progressive and more Technical take on the genre, or Panopticon’s “Where Mountains Pierce the Sky” of off “Roads to the North” for their fusion of Folk and Bluegrass into Black Metal.

[@darknessovmystery]

Geebz! That was awesome!! I appreciate your approach in this journey of music. Your mention of authenticity is great is why i love this genre. I’ve been an engineer and producer for many years and too bad we didn’t get the full list!

[@metalzonereactions]

Great one Geebz!

[@Ronnie_McDoggle]

Please do a black metal friday once a month at least! More MGLA!!! Awesome reactions thanks

[@TheGingertarian]

Black Metal is not easy and man you went with some hard songs and I commend that. Deathcrush is definitely a cacophony of sound and that comes from the genre's hardcore punk roots. There are definitely some melodic songs in Black Metal though. Behemoth's "At the Left Hand Ov God" has a kickass drumbeat that gets my blood rushing every time and I'm sure you'll feel it too when you give it a listen.

[@Twitchswe]

Ye cacophony of sound is a great way to describe it lol, between the brutal recordings, the crazy vocals and overall rough punk feel. I think a good way to get into the first wave if you own a guitar is just find some tabs, crank the distortion on your amp and play some. I still remember how my opinion on early bathory and venom totally changed after i played bathory - reaper and venom - angeldust. I was like wait...wtf these riffs are so catchy and fun to play

[@MrTelorix]

I was a little bit disappointed to hear death crush. For me Freezing Moon is the ultimate Black Metal song, should have picked that one. Mother North (Satyricon) is also worth a mention

[@VIVISECTVID86]

MGLA Sounds like MMM G'WA This album is a masterpiece front to back....really need to listen to it front to back. Ironically it was a side project. Also try Bolzer - Hero As mentioned by KingTwall there are a bunch of additional bands that you may want to delve into. Satyricon - Tied in Bronze Chains is a lesser known gem from them.

[@collinbeal]

Clicked here just for mgla. Phenomenal band

[@MH-605]

MGLA is my favorite band of the last three years. I ordered "Age of Excuse" (phenomenal record) on vinyl and a shirt and it was shipped from Poland by Darkside, the drummer himself. How cool is that! Since I got into Black Metal late I gotta mention my next favorite heavy Poles, Batushka. Please give "Litourgiya" a listen friends.

[@riccardocravero3614]

Love the songs selection. As you noticed, the one from Behemoth was actually a bit different from the others. This is because they sometimes lean more towards death metal, so they have more deep growling instead of high shrieking and their riff are more rythmic and "percussive" than the melodic tremolo-picking riffs of most black metal. I say this because I think this highlights a key difference between most black metal and the rest of metal's subgenres: death metal is (usually) harsh and brutal, doom metal is slow and heavy, black metal is dense often athmospheric and manage to insert melodies in songs while staying harsh as hell. Black metal has gone through a lot of evolution in the decades (First wave, second wave, third wave etc.) but I think those elements (raw production, dense athmospheric elements and tremolo-picked melodies) are what makes you listen at it and say "That's black metal"

[@toni.tapola]

Yay, Geebs 😀! Keep on roc- umm... _blacking!_ 🤘🤘🤘

[@pasza_dem]

Mgła deserves deeper dive, amazing musicianship! About drummer, check Mgła - Exercises in futility V drumcam amazing video, you will see some greatness there!

[@steezyg23]

You really should have done some dissection! Beautiful compositions and melodies

[@soiboi5151]

Awesome!

[@FELIX-my1pu]

You nailed it when you said " heaviness is not pure" that's how Black Metal should be and most rock and roll in my opinion.🤘

[@TheMik29]

Now this is a slow burn I'm really excited for. This is gonna be good!

[@saltybaws3284]

Reminds me of my early teens and hearing about the church burnings and the murders.

[@FightFireWitFIre]

you should definitely look into Sadness, very atmospheric post-black metal I think you'd appreciate

[@josephernandez3465]

Be all, and you'll be the end all...

[@MetalZoned]

"mgla" is polish for "fog" - great live as I have been fortunate enough to see them

[@mikael4751]

I hope this becomes a regular thing!!

[@stephenmolag8634]

Seemed like you really enjoyed Mgla. I'd definitely recommend Excersises in Futility I, which is my personal favorite. Also, like others have commented, the live drum cam video of Excersises in Futility V is absolutely crazy!

[@anembersarc]

Would love a slow burn of just MGLA🤘🏻

[@Nostradamus92]

Fantastic! When you feel like trying some more new type of black, look into black gaze (mix og black metal and shoe gaze). Bit more cerebral but equally as brutal 😎

[@NuclearHeadshot]

Any Alcest track would do, but Là Où Naissent Les Coleurs Nouvelles is a personal favorite.

[@Chaoslorden]

If you want to be flabbergasted, look at a drum cam video of mgla.. They are sooo tight live! I've seen them a couple of times and it's like a wall. A fog. Mgla, (mmgwa) means fog in polish.

[@nealcrabtree3647]

MGLA is my favorite band.

[@bonnibella2003]

Please react to “sunbather” by deafheaven! They combine black metal with elements of shoegaze and post rock.

[@tevildo9383]

You should totally check out the song “De feu et d’acier” by VÉHÉMENCE. One the best modern melodic BM bands, IMO.

[@xxraddrummerxx]

I am a fan of Immortal and especially Abbath

[@davidnihil_]

One song you absolutely MUST do is Neka Morgondagen by Shining. Amazing song.

[@ckokomo808]

Awesome selections. It’s always interesting to listen to older stuff and hear how thrashy it is! Great selections. As someone who loves BM, I’m in support of more of these. Maybe moving through different waves or subgenres could allow a fuller picture of BM and it’s evolution up till now!

[@grayire]

So happy you did mgla, if you really want to see their drummer shine you need to check out exercises in futility v

[@Robobotic]

I like how ever other reactors have stated that they should of listened to MGLA last and you also mentioned how its good that you listened it to it last. Its almost as if every track in the album feels like an ending track.

[@mrinfected9745]

I recommend you exercises in futility II by mgla, its my favourite song from that album

[@dustinloucks1555]

I highly recommend you check out Cradle of Filth. All of their stuff is great but you might be interested in any tracks from Dusk and Her Embrace, Midian, Damnation and a Day (which was recorded with the Budapest Symphony Orchestra), Hammer of the Witch’s and their last album Existence is Futile. They’re considered Extreme metal, I think because that’s the easiest way to explain them aside from symphonic gothic metal, which still doesn’t tell you everything about their style. They started as a Death Metal band, transitioned to Black Metal and then added a lot more theatrical gothic elements to it. Check them out. I think you’d be pleasantly surprised/impressed.

[@Xy0ud0ntkn0wmeX]

Darkside is the drummer for Mgla and he's one of the best drummers in the genre. So unique and creative, especially with his cymbal work. And you picked up on him right away which is not surprising. Great video.

[@collinbeal]

Would love to see you react to the more mellow side of black metal too, Geebz. Agalloch, Ulver, Alcest, Summoning, etc. Would be cool to see you react to the zanier side of the genre too once you get the general sound of it down, with bands such as Sigh, Jute Gyte, Krallice, Oranssi Pazuzu, etc.

[@shawnlindsey6337]

Ya, you really gotta check out MGLA

[@dukex123]

As you certainly already figured out, it's Behemoth, not Bohemeth. Not a problem though. Everybody knows that is meant. Thanks for the great work man!

[@KeyOfGeebz]

My bad, thank you - fixed :)

[@Liz-cmc313]

Black Metal and Egg Nog... that could be a thing 👍 I hear alot of Motorhead in Venom.

[@DallasGunther]

Age of excuse is an awesome album. It's one of those black metal albums that I find very soothing in spite of the velocity and inherently harsh elements. The drummers(Darkside) performance is stellar as fuck. He's in another band called Kreigsmachine and very worth your time. Mgla is the polish word for "fog" and I might not be hearing it correctly the word sounds like moog-wah. Nevertheless, check out Schammasch or Deathspell Omega if you dig this more sophisticated kind of black metal. One album that kinda caught me off guard is from the states and I don't know about all the musicians but they are a Native, first nation native American band called Blackbraid. The lyrics are quite uplifting really and center around a love of nature and the music is really good. It drives forward hard when it needs to and soars along real easy at other times. I don't know how long they've been making music but this debut Lp is going to be a difficult one to beat.

[@fokusfive3907]

More blackmetal! 👏

[@CookDeadCows221]

You should check out some emperor too. Probably one of the best 2nd wave black metal bands. They're fantastic and really have the BLACK METAL feeling I love ❤️

[@tomcunningham3245]

why arent you wearing the corpsepaint?! :O

[@NuclearHeadshot]

Black metal friday would mean cybergrind monday, right? Right?

[@HideousConformity]

Hmm... A reaction to Libido Airbag would be interesting to see.

[@Kain_R_Heinlein]

The Berzerker would be the most notable choice. But I would love to see some Gigantic Brain and Ozigiri (Japan)

[@adamhenton6221]

Let's get our black metal face on. 6am. Lol. Let's GO 😂🤘

[@Fenthule]

[@sovex9331]

Mgla is one the most underrated black metal bands of all time... they should be top 10 without question, the drumming, the atmosphere and the lyrics are quality.

[@grayire]

Ā really undereated black metal band is gris. Their song la dryade is beautiful musicianship but also raw. It's one of the best songs

[@meusana3681]

I would love for you to do an analysis of something by Dark Moor. It's a Spanish neoclassical metal band. My suggestions anything from Gates of Oblivion album. By the Strange Paths of Destiny is a great one.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

If you like to read, I'd recommend the book "Lords of Chaos: The Bloody Rise of the Satanic Metal Underground". It's the history of how black metal started and led to church burnings and the Satanic Panic in the 1980s/early 90s.

[@blitzer921]

I love MGLA, no lyrics about satan worship or church burning, just pure melancholy and musicianship.

[@pyfsecret]

And nihilism, dont forget the nihilism....

[@theeunknown4359]

FOR THE LOVE OF DOG!!!! Please, your benefit, do HOLY FAWN! Either Drag Me Into the Woods or Death is a Relief

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

Also pls check out the song by BATUSHKA - Yekteniya 7 . Another polish black metal band but its darker and it has some church vibes going on

[@nightcris1]

Hey geebz! Nice job! Would be awesome if you checked out Exercises in Futility V as a stand-alone. I believe that is one of my absolute favourite tracks and probably the best of Mgła! Cheers!

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

Behemoth is more like blackened death metal at that album, not black metal. But it's one of the best, if not the best.

[@dafig3858]

do more videos like this🤘🤘🤘

[@hully2690]

Oh i really suggest you to listen for something from the last album of Behemoth! I heard some of them before, but it was more like ..wow! But what's going on?)) But their last album, Versvs Christvs or Ov my herculean exile, this is just unreal)

[@pantsedjuniorhayseed4816]

you should do more sub genres of black metal; dungeon synth, post black, dsbm, ambient....

[@thegrimm9846]

My dear you should react to Bathory more, albums from blood fire death to nordland (I am addicted to black metal but finest releases are from Blood Fire Death)

[@pizzashorts887]

Can you check out some Drudkh? The album Blood in Our Wells I recommend.

[@p4nz9r60]

Re: Mgła - it's not an acronym, the name is pronounced as 'mgwah' (in Polish, the letter L with the stroke on it is pronounced like 'w' in English) and it means 'fog' in Polish. Mgła is officially a duo with Mikołaj "M." Żentara as a vocalist, guitarist, composer and lyricist and Maciej "Darkside" Kowalski as a drummer. Live they perform as a quartet, with Michał "The Fall" Stępień on bass and Piotr "EVT" Dziemski on lead guitar, both from the band Medico Peste. They record all of their material at M.'s 'No Solace' studio ('No Solace' is also the name of their own record label which publishes albums by Mgła and their other band, Kriegsmaschine, so everything is done 'in house'). Regarding the song you picked, you didn't miss anything - Mgła has a pattern of naming their songs, which is just the name of the record followed by the roman numeral :) Darkside is considered one of the best BM drummers today - check his live performance on 'Exercises In Futility V' and Kevin Paradis' rendering of Kriegsmaschine's 'Residual Blythe' (where Kevin had to reorganize his drum set to be able to play the song correctly; Darkside, on his 'dksd' YT channel has a short clip where he plays a certain part of this song which some people thought was not possible to play live and was created by recording several drum tracks separately and later mixed in the song). The band started as a side-project from M.'s (and later, Darkside's) main band, the Kriegsmaschine. However, it's the Mgła which became the main project and Kriegsmaschine became a recording-only alter-ego of Mgła (the same line-up as Mgła, with The Fall an EVT as session musicians). You should check out Kriegsmaschine - it's slower (no blast beats) and more experimental/progressive BM sound.

[@Im_Old_Gregg]

For me the earlier black metal like Mayhem can be tough to listen to just because of the low production quality. I understand that was part of the thing but the more modern Black metal like Watain and 1349 for example is where it's at for me.

[@theeunknown4359]

Mgla pronounced MMgwa, means fog in Polish.

[@Ali-uq3tc]

ᎮᏒᎧᎷᎧᏕᎷ

[@FatherOfPearl20]

Since you liked Mgła, I'd also recommend checking out Kriegsmaschine. It's the same two guys (M. who does vocals and guitar, and Darkside on the drums) playing a more intense style of black metal, and the drumwork is really cranked up to 11. Give the songs Residual Blight or None Shall See Redemption a spin. For an even more technical and progressive take on the genre, consider Deathspell Omega. My suggestions would be Abscission, Kenose II, or Imitatio Dei. This band has been very influential for the so-called "avant-garde" subgenre of black metal and their musicianship is unbelievable. A caveat I feel like I need to mention is that the guy who does vocals has some... shady affiliations and shitty views. The rest of the band has gone on record to say he's just a hired gun - he lives in a different country, has little input on the lyric writing, and by reading between the lines a little bit, their disagreement with his views is one of the reasons the band doesn't go on tour. The album they released earlier this year even has other vocalists on it, with him only providing one or two verses per track, though why is anyone's guess. They feel his voice provides a unique tone that "completes" their sound and that's it. And going back to Mgła to close this off, you might also be interested to learn that M. runs his own record label and recording studio, self-publishes all the works of both Mgła and Kriegsmaschine, and has helped record/mix/produce albums for dozens of other Polish bands (as well as provided backing vocals, supplemental instrumentation, or both). Very talented dude.

I just found your channel searching for isis the band videos and came across your channel. I subscribed lol I like that you are digging a lot of my favourite bands, I did see you haven’t done a band called unprocessed, their earlier stuff is very good, their newer stuff seems like they went in a different direction but I figured you would like this song by them called malleable, has a tool/Karnivool sound to them I’ll post the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/fabFnaVnbZeAjqc

[@MrGreendayzed]

1st one reminds me of motorhead. The second song i liked when they went fast, It was like trash metal. Love all the tones. I can't how raw it is because im used to listening to punk. Old puke is the most raw because half the time they're not great musicians. But it's about the feeling. 2nd song is almost like a metal jam in a way.... like jazz. 3rd song is way different then the 1sr 2. It's like it has a tool filter... not as raw.... at least the guitar tone is. You called it progressive, so im not crazy when i hear "tool". I don't skip because i always gie a song a shot. Even the 4th song's guitar sounds like adam's from tool, Wonder if he's a black metal fan or something. Or they share a love fore 70's metal/rock. That rawness you're talking about is like the differnce between a sweater made by hand and made by a machine. Hand made has charm and love. IM STILL HERE!

[@anttisaarilampi]

The 4th band (Bathory) were pioneers from the early 80's so that's where the "vintage" sound comes from 🙂

[@MrGreendayzed]

@@anttisaarilampi "Quorthon was inspired by GBH and Discharge as much as Motorhead and Black Sabbath, and the raw, primal fury of Bathory's debut album was an utter revelation." If this quote is correct there's the 70's rock/metal influence.
