And the time has come, when you stand over the grave,
You look into your father’s face – you don’t recognize him.
“Darkness around. Dullness around.
What will be now? What will be now?”
Salty tears you swallow, choking out by pain,
You see the hole in the ground; you feel the hole in the soul.
“Darkness around. Dullness around.
What will be now? What will be now?”
They say you will end in heaven, by hell they intimidate you,
They say one can be forgoten, so why they are with us?
Only mud of us will stay, smile will not die,
In autumn leaves are without trees.
There is no silence – there are no dreams,
There is no heaven – there is no heaven.
There is no silence – they whisper to our ear,
There are no dreams – they guard the cradle.
They are not with us – they have not gone.
“You soul, damned or blest.
Leave the holy rites! Here is the open floor.
Take your return road,
or I will curse you in the name of God.
Go away. Cross forests. Cross rivers. And die, Be gone for ages!”
“Shut the chapel's door
And Stand around the cofin;
No light, no candle,
At the windows hang the shrouds.
May the pale brightness of the moon
By slots does not get into.
But jauntily, but bravely…
As you said, as happened.”
They have nowhere to go.
DZIADY
I czas ten juz nadszedl, gdy nad grobem stoisz,
Patrzysz w twarz ojca - nie poznajesz.
“Cicho wszedzie, glucho wszedzie,
Co to bedzie, co to bedzie.”
Slone lzy polykasz, bolem sie krztusisz,
Dziure w ziemi widzisz, dziure w ziemi czujesz.
“Ciemno wszedzie, glucho wszedzie,
Co to bedzie, co to bedzie.”
Mowia, ze w raju skonczysz, pieklem tez strasza,
Mowia, ze zniknac mozesz, wiec czemu sa z nami.
Bloto z nas zostanie, usmiech nie umrze,
Jesienia liscie sa bez drzew.
Nie ma ciszy – nie ma snow,
Nie ma nieba, nie ma nieba.
Nie ma ciszy – szepca nam do ucha,
Nie ma snow – przy lozku czuwaja.
Oni nie sa z nami – oni nie odeszli.
“Duszo przekleta, badz bloga,
Opuszczaj swiete obrzedy!
Oto rozwarta podloga,
Kedy wszedles, wychodz tedy,
Bo Cie przeklne w imie Boga,
Precz z tad, na lasy, na rzeki,
I zgin, przepadnij na wieki.”
“Zamknijcie drzwi do kaplicy
I stance dokola trumny;
Zadnej lampy, zadnej swiecy,
W oknach zawiescie caluny.
Niech ksiezyca jasnosc blada,
Szczelinami tu nie wpada,
Tylko zywo, tylko smialo…
Jak kazales, tak sie stalo.”
The band was started in 1993 in Wroclaw, Poland by Marcin Gasiorowski.

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
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
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
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
