Great Old Ones, The - EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy (2017)^{Release ID: 8268}

As you can probably tell from the name, The Great Old Ones are a band who's atmospheric black metal is usually Lovecraftian themed and based around the Cthulhu Mythos. This is again the case on this, their third full-length release. Their brand of quite aggressive atmospheric black effectively suggests the gibbering insanity of the minds of Lovecraft's gods of madness and the vocals have an intangible quality, as if heard echoing from the dark void between worlds. Of course, ultimately it's all about the music and even if you have no interest at all in Lovecraft's tales of horror, this is still a damned fine album.
