History & Biography
M founded the band as his studio project in 2000. The group would eventually appear on the stage. The band appeared on the Crushing The Holy Trinity in 2005. It was a sampler on Northern Heritage Records based in Finland. The label is often associated with Nazis. The Presence EP on the same label followed. Several more EPs followed. The band’s debut full-length was Groza in 2008. Black metallers Revenge were on a European tour with Poland-based Mgla in the spring of 2019. Members of Medico Peste were live musicians.

Mgła's scheduled concerts in Munich and Berlin in the spring of 2019 were successfully cancelled after the German Antifa group Linkes Bündnis gegen Antisemitismus München ('Left Alliance Against Anti-Semitism Munich') launched a campaign against the band for releasing albums on Northern Heritage and also for Żentara's solo electronica project Leichenhalle having a 2000 album called Judenfrei ('Free Of Jews'). Mgła called it a "smear campaign" promised legal action. Speaking of which, Northern Heritage was run by Mikko Aspa of Clandestine Blaze (and Deathspell Omega) who Mgła had opened for.

Mgla means ‘mist’ in Polish. The band’s albums feature songs whose titles are the same as the album title and add sequential figures to the track number. Mikołaj Żentara is the son of former Polish actor Edward Żentara.
