Musta Surma
Musta Surma is the aftermath of Crimson Evenfall (R.I.P.) which worked
from `94 to `97. The line-up was Thyrgrimmr: voice,drums,synth , Strigoi
Mort:guitars , Krieg: bass. The band did demos called "Nocturnal Storms
of Infinity" (`96) , "Winterheart" (early`97) and "Ad Inferos Ante
Christum Natum" (autumn`97). They got great response in the underground.
In the end of `97 Krieg left the band, so Thyrgrimmr and Strigoi Mort,
masterminds behind C.E., decided to rename the band to be Musta Surma.
Musta Surma recorded "Demo 97" in December and it was released in January
´98. That tape got very good response from the black metal underground.
The
musical basis of M.S. is same like C.E., pure and aggressive Black
Metal, in the vein of old Scandinavian black metal gods, but rawer and
uglier way than C.E. ever did. There is no place for synth, beautiful
melodies etc for sure! All lyrics of M. S. are written in Finnish and
the main goal is clear; they are sword against the Christianity.
M.S.
recorded three new songs in December ´98 and after all delays and
problems MCD called "Riena" was released May `99. Also Surma Productions
was founded for our self-financed release(s) at the same time.
In
December `99 M.S. and one of the most honourable Finnish Black Metal
horde Horna gathered their powers and recorded split-EP for the French
End All Life productions. That vinyl was released in April 2000. The
song "...And heaven fell" was recorded in August `00 for EAL compilation
LP called "Black Metal Blitzkrieg". It was released in February ´01.
English lyrics in this song are exception in common Musta Surma line, in
the future we´ll blaspheme in Finnish again.
Mgła
Initially founded as a studio project in the year 2000 at Kraków by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Mikołaj "M." Żentara with the collaboration of drummer Dariusz "Daren" Piper, both originally from the band Kriegsmaschine, together they recorded two unreleased demos, a collaboration split album with Deathspell Omega, Clandestine Blaze, Stabat Mater, Exordium and Musta Surma and their first 2 EPs. Daren left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Maciej "Darkside" Kowalski. The band signed to Northern Heritage Records in 2008 and released their debut album Groza in that same year, Mgła has been signed to Northern Heritage ever since.
In 2012 after the release of With Hearts Toward None the band started touring worldwide, they enlisted bassist The Fall and guitarist Silencer, originally from Black metal band Medico Peste, to complete their live lineup and according to M. rehearsed for over a year before hitting the road. In 2015 Silencer left the band and was replaced by E.V.T., also from Medico Peste, as live guitarist. The tour, which helped the band to gain notoriety, had various notable performances at well known metal festivals like Nidrosian Black Mass on Belgium, Brutal Assault on the Czech Republic and Dark Easter Metal Meeting and Party San on Germany. During the same year M. and Darkside created "No Solace"; a label and mailorder in which they catalogue the music from Mgła and other projects. Through "No Solace" M. and Darkside also release music under the Kriegsmaschine moniker. No Solace is also the name of Żentara's music studio. From 2015 to 2016, the band's lineup joined Mikko Aspa's Clandestine Blaze for various shows.
