Fans of Polish black metal outfit Mgła have noticed a significant gap in the band’s release schedule. According to their previous patterns, a new album should have arrived by now. Their last full-length release, Age of Excuse (2019), followed a steady trend of releasing new material every three to four years. However, it’s now 2024, and there has been no official word on a follow-up.
Given Mgła’s history of calculated releases, the absence of a new album has left fans wondering why the delay. While no official statement has been made, speculations range from potential shifts in the band’s creative direction to the impacts of world events over the past few years. Mgła, known for their meticulous and precise approach to music, may simply be taking the time necessary to craft something worthy of their high standards.
The band’s silence could also be a sign of their preference for working without pressure or outside influence. Whatever the reason, fans are eagerly awaiting what could be Mgła’s next evolution, even if it arrives later than expected. Until then, their previous releases, like Exercises in Futility and With Hearts Toward None, continue to hold their place as cornerstones of modern black metal.
