Yes, Black metal thread! Was the most popular at another forum I'm a part of but that has quieted down lately.
Blood in Our Wells – absolute classic.
Kinda feel similarly about Mgła – well written and well executed black metal, yet lacking anything particularly interesting. It's like Taake in a way, great but very basic, forgettable black metal. Even though, I would say Taake has more spirit to its music. Yet, it's the kind of music I sometimes want to listen to, particularly when I don't really want to pay attention to what's playing and just need some good background noise. I have a few Mgła vinyl, including the newest one. It's not like I don't like them, I do.

That is what I mean by something is missing. Sounds ridiculous, but it is precisely how I would picture a black metal band put together by guys in suits to appeal to a black metal crowd. Heard their albums and seen them live, I get the same feeling from everything.
I know that isn't the case, but that's why it does nothing for me.
I feel like this album already did everything Mgła is trying to do and more.
