Mgła, Mgla, or even MGLA, are a band who’s name I cannot pronounce and struggle to understand how it’s spelled, seeming as people feel inclined to change the spelling every so often. The underground is a haven for eclipsed and enigmatic bands but this Polish act, who have enjoyed much success before the arrival of ‘Groza‘, have managed to rise above the struggling influx of less suspenseful bands. Fans of extreme underground music have harped on about Mgła since the dawn of their creation, stating that they will become one of the most significant acts in modern black metal folklore due to their incredible spirit and style. Having heard ‘Presence’ before this full-length effort, ‘Groza’ (which means ‘dread’ in English) I can say that the reaction to Mgła’s earliest material is certainly hyperbolic. I did enjoy their EP’s, most of which I heard after hearing ‘Groza‘, but I cannot say that I haven’t heard far superior bands to this Polish two man effort. ‘Groza’, thankfully, has hit the heights that some of the previous material didn’t but I won’t be judging this on the basis of what has gone before it as full-lengths are a step up in quality.
