"The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh...was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults."

It's been a long time since I first heard this song, about 12 years. I was so infatuated with it and ever since then I've been heavily involved in learning about the mythos. Are you still making music? I'd love to here any music you've put out since this masterpiece.

This song is amazing and fits perfectly within the Cthulhu Mythos and other works by Howard Phillips Lovecraft. It also seems like a great song for dark, desolate ruins that are seemingly empty yet are actually haunted by an abominable presence from beyond the stars. You did a fantastic job dude!

I'A DAGON. I'A HYDRA. CTHULHU FHTAGN.

Astounding!

This is an astounding work of musical genius. It spreads a feeling of discomfort, yet in a gorgeous manner. At the beginning, it reminds me of an unsuspecting individual travelling through an ancient building (such as a church or abandoned kindom-like civilization), who feels at peace near the beginning. Then, as they hear the whispering flowing in the twilight breeze, and feel the eerie essence trapped in the flowing air, they become more and more on edge. And, once the music builds up, a demon in the tragedy- stricken ruins pounces on the unsuspecting victim, possesing their shaken body.

To sum my dumb babbling up: It is absolutely shocking, but in the eerily fascinating type of way. Astounding, short and simply.

dark ;)

i was looking for a nice dark theme to use in Organized Stupidity and found this!

i like the bells and chimes you got going in the background, gives it a creepy feeling
