about
7th century Ambrosian Vespers hymn for Sundays and week-days during Advent.
lyrics
Creator alme siderum,
Æterna lux credentium,
Jesu Redemptor omnium,
Intende votis supplicum.
Qui dæmonis ne fraudibus
Periret orbis, impetu
Amoris actus, languidi
Mundi medela factus es.
Commune qui mundi nefas
Ut expiares; ad crucem
E Virginis sacrario
Intacta prodis victima.
Cujus potestas gloriæ,
Nomen que cum primum sonat;
Et cœlites et inferi
Tremente curvantur genu.
Te deprecamur ultimæ
Magnum dei Judicem,
Armis supernæ gratiae
Defende nos ab hostibus.
Virtus, honor, laus, gloria
Deo Patri cum Filio,
Sancto simul Paraclito,
In sæculorum sæcula.

Nourishing Creator of the stars,
Everlasting light of the faithful,
Jesus, Redeemer of mankind,
Uphold the prayers of your supplicants.
You who put an end
to the devil's movement
to destroy the earth in fury
Bring about the healing of the powerless world.
You who came to atone
for universal sin by crucifixion,
Out of the sanctuary of an untouched virgin
who brought forth the sacrificial victim.
You whose foremost glorious name and power
are celebrated,
And before whom heaven and hell
tremble and bend the knee.
We entreat you,
Most powerful God and our Judge,
Favor us with celestial weapons
To defend us from the enemy.
Virtue, honor, praise, and glory
To God the Father with the Son
Sacred protector
From age to age.
(translation by Donna Stewart)

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.....

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.
