They wear black and cover their faces because they believe that the music is more important than the show and wan't people to focuse on the music. Love these guys.
Take bands like Deathspell Omega or Blut aus Nord. They don't play live at all, nobody knows who the members are (maybe except Mikko Aspa), yet they are leading forces in the genre. No publicity, only music. That's what I call dedication.
Great reaction! Just to be clear, Darkside is the drummer, Mgla is the band, Exercises in Futility V is the name of the song and Brutal Assault 2019 is the festival where the video was filmed. Cheers!
@@EP-dy7rq, yes! Album name: Exercises in Futility Tracks: 1. Exercises in Futility I 2. Exercises in Futility II 3. Exercises in Futility III 4. Exercises in Futility IV 5. Exercises in Futility V 6. Exercises in Futility VI
One of those drummers who have developed their own, easily recognizable style, without overplaying, with the dramaturgy of the song, with cymbals parts often creating an additional melodic line
Darkside is definitely not the fastest drummer. I don't think he wants to be either. But he always plays relaxed, focused with great patterns on the cymbals.
That backbeat during the chorus always makes me goosebumps. Darkside is a cymbal magician. Also his drumming creating huge tension from the beggining of the song, love it! About the masks. As it was stated by Mgła's frontman: "One of key approaches within Mgła is removal of aspects that we consider unnecessary. In this case, it is ourselves as individuals. The use of masks is an attempt to get rid of the rock n’ roll heritage of musicians being “idols” or “heroes”. Instead, Mgła live is an unit, where “who does what” is of little relevance.”
"in this heavy style of music, which is not my bag, I'm always interested in just how well these guys can play! " _two minute cymbal bell suite with nonstop machine gun double bass_
i think your average listener would not think much about the drumming on this song, but as a musician my self this guys use of dynamics is increadible i love it when musicians regardless of instrument excersize the awesome nuances to their playing. solid song writing/playing
It's so cool how he finds a way to fill every little space with something. Keeping the back beat consistent through all those paradiddle inversions is crazy as hell too. Big respect to such a unique approach to black metal drumming.
In several live concerts that guy literally never missed. Even in the other band he plays in Kriegsmaschine he literally does not miss. He's a great talent and I'm proud as a black metal fan that he's doing something different than blast beats.
Hi.. Song is called Exercises in Futility V (as five). Brutal Assault is a festival in Czech Republic. I was on this particular show. Imagine crowd of 20 000 people watching the podium, not making a single sound, not dancing, moshing or anything just watching and listening. I had to move to the exit by the last minute of this song and after the whole show (about 1 hour) i noticed how eerie the atmosphere on the concert really was.
MGLA is pronounced ''m-gwah'' or ''mougwah'', which means ''mist'' in Polish. The music is the fifth music of Exercices In Futility album, hence ''Exercises in Futility V''. Brutal Assault is the festival. Cheers from France
Don't know if you are aware of this but their vocalist is an antisemite (published an album called "free of jews" with antisemitic and racist lyrics) and MGŁAs band members are friends with a bunch of NSBM Artists and were signed by the label "Northern Heritage" that is run by Mikko Aspa who associates with NSBM Bands too.
"BYŁO CYMBALISTÓW WIELU, ALE ŻADEN Z NICH NIE ŚMIAŁ ZAGRAĆ PRZY MACIEJU" "There was many cymbalist, but none of them dared to play in front of Maciej" Adam Mickiewicz - Pan Tadeusz (polish national poem no.1) paraphrase (it was Jankielu instead Macieju in original) BTW: Maciej (Darkside) used to be a Xylophonist, therefore he's so good with cymbals I guess.
@6:00 what's to say? You have joined everyone else who watched that cymbal work for the first time and we all just stared in curious amazement. First time I saw it, I completely lost track that the drummer was still hitting the snare. I could hear it but completely lost track of him hitting it. Great video
@@13tuyuti Yes they do (for example German magazine Legacy), but his Tool-comment was a reply he made under one of his few RUclips videos, if I remember correctly.
I always love watching reaction videos cause the moment the songs transition you can see the look of amazement that you felt the first time you heard it as well.
The drumming on Exercises in Futility and Age of Excuse albums is pretty good, but the drumming he does on the Kriegsmaschine albums is on another level. Residual Blight from Apocalypticists is worth checking out.
Bit of further info for you Andrew, the song is from the album Exercises In Futility- they've always named their songs as the name of the album and a roman numeral for pretty much their entire discography, besides a couple of early demos.
@@AndrewRooneyDrums The song's name is Exercises in Futillity V (as in five), the album is called Exercises in Futility. All their songs follow that scheme.
Hope you liked it. For me this is one of - if not the best - metal albums to come out in the last decade. Ive probably spun this album a thousand times by now, but Ive personally never had the chance to see them live, nor have I watched them play in a video til today. To me its super cool to see him chain the cymbal hits together that quickly and intricately by being comfortable enough to swap hands for snare hits. I love how that cymbal play really just grabs me and pulls me along during the relentless grind that is this album.
I've heard that Darkside was initially a xylophone player. I don't know if that explains anything about his skillset or the way he holds the sticks. He's certainly one of the most talented drummers in black metal.
Going to do my duty and agree. It wouldn't be RUclips without someone else putting their opinion in the comment so here it is: If Jamie Saint Merat is behind the kit, you're in for a treat that incorporates few blast beat(s).
I'm gonna throw this out there. This music is so huge, epic, with such space and emotion and personal focus, I want to write a "musical" with this type of music. Not a typical happy musical, not a campy funny "scary" musical but one that deals with real themes of darkness, hopelessness, betrayal, war. I listened to a lot of music on deployment from a portable cd player. Lamb of God was the music of my time spent in Fallujah, and this music speaks lyrically and musically in a way no other form can touch. If someone can put one together, send me venue info. I'm there.
It might look like hes gripping high on the stick because he's using longer sticks. A lot of death and black metal drummers use heavier, longer sticks as they have more momentum for things like blasts. Lets you relax a bit more while you're playing as counter-intuitive as it sounds.
This band is somewhat of an anomaly. As far as the drummer, Darkside is the absolute epitome of proper stance and technique when he plays. His balance and solid presence is second to none. As far as his playing he is the most tasteful black metal drummer I have ever heard. He is apart of the band and does only what the SONG calls for which is very hard to find in a genre built on the "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT LOOK AT ME! LOOK HOW FAST I CAN PLAY!! style of music. Sometimes you need to chill and play the song. Not to mention the 2 finger salute to the crowd after finishing. Such a humble guy.
Perhaps a bit too late but a few Polish bands wear face-coverings to remain anonymous while performing songs regarding certain topics. Black metal is inherently a controversial genre and seeks to talk about the unspeakable. MGLA's nihilistic (truly anti-nihilistic) and misanthropic messages are in throws with the Polish Catholic government which has attempted to persecute bands such as Behemoth and the Polish MSM has attempted to shut down venues of bands such as Marduk (falsely believed to be Nationalist Socialist because of creating songs regarding the German side of the Second World War). Enjoyed the video mate, cheers!
You should check - Kriegsmachine where Mgła drummer also plays; take for instance "Residual blight" from Apocalipticists LP; same guy but plays differend there; Your jaw wil smash concrete floor !!! And then big,big smile will appear !!!
best song from mgla - allways reminds me to a man in the winter, walking, comes into a snowstorm, get into wilderness, figthing through snow and then get pirced by ice cracks and freezes to death
Mgla is probably one of the most universally respected modern black metal bands. Incredible musicianship (which is not something I think most people associate with black metal, but actually is somewhat of a staple particularly with drumming. IE Frost ). Black metal has now become so much more of a serious musical genre rather than an outlet for pure rage against religious oppression and high fidelity metal that it was originally (the old black metal aesthetic was extremely lo fi production and extremely raw. angry, anti religion lyrical themes). And we have so many great black metal bands now that still keep some of the old aesthetic (dressing in all black, corpse paint, anti religion, satanism etc) but also have great production and incredible musicianship. Mgla's albums are divided up into chapters like a book. (Groza, With Hearts Toward None, Exercises in Futility and the new album, Age of Excuse). The song you reacted to was Chapter 5 so to speak. The band is actually just two people. Vocalist/multi instrumentalist M and Drummer Darkside. The rest of the live band are guest musicians (since M can't play everything). Their name means "Fog" in Polish.
Please do anything by Lord Marco! If you're really digging the technical metal drums, he has his own RUclips channel. I recommend: Hunhau Mitnal- "Creador y Formador". He does it blind folded with no triggers
Seen them live twice and it was absolute pure bliss every time. Someone in the comments mentioned trigger to play at these speeds? I knew the organizer of the festival they played at and NONE of the bands used triggers. It sounds just like that with only stage microphones. Furthermore, this song is great for what it is but Darkside gets really good when he shifts to blastbeats, which are absent during this track. Finally, sure it is generic 4x4 blackmetal and that's what they chose to play. It is boring for some but others love it to death; and Darkside masters and plays that style like a God. Can he play different styles and other time signatures? I would not doubt it, but he enjoys playing this stuff and he does it amazingly well. A true gift to the blackmetal scene.

Darkside is definitely not the fastest drummer. I don't think he wants to be either. But he always plays relaxed, focused with great patterns on the cymbals.
Yes for sure. Speed isn't everything. A lot to be said for ideas and execution!
Yup III and IV totally demonstrate the cymbal patterns
He plays fast with high precision.
That backbeat during the chorus always makes me goosebumps. Darkside is a cymbal magician. Also his drumming creating huge tension from the beggining of the song, love it!
About the masks. As it was stated by Mgła's frontman: "One of key approaches within Mgła is removal of aspects that we consider unnecessary. In this case, it is ourselves as individuals.

Great info!!!
Would have been more radical to do this in the 80s. The Rock Star is a dead symbol now, you can’t just shoot up and bang 1000s of 17 year olds anymore
"in this heavy style of music, which is not my bag, I'm always interested in just how well these guys can play! "

I knew the organizer of the festival they played at and NONE of the bands used triggers. It sounds just like that with only stage microphones. Furthermore, this song is great for what it is but Darkside gets really good when he shifts to blastbeats, which are absent during this track. Finally, sure it is generic 4x4 blackmetal and that's what they chose to play. It is boring for some but others love it to death; and Darkside masters and plays that style like a God. Can he play different styles and other time signatures? I would not doubt it, but he enjoys playing this stuff and he does it amazingly well. A true gift to the blackmetal scene.
I like your vibe and your unbiased criticism mr Rooney. Happy to suscribe and see what's gonna pop up next mate. great job!
