Cthuloide "Metal One-Hit Wonder"

Es geht um Bands die sich nicht dauerhaft Lovecraft / dem Mythos widmen, sondern nur mit einzelnen Songs. Hier mal ein erster Schwung, mehr folgt:

Metallica - The Call of Ktulu (instrumental)

Iced Earth - Cthulhu

Ironsword - Overlords of Chaos

Evangelist - Cthulhu Rising

Death Breath - Cthulhu Fhtagn!

Cradle of Filth - Cthulhu Dawn

AntiPeeWee - Rise Of Cthulhu

Morbid Angel - The ancient ones

Long ago in a distant land
lived a crazy mad arab man
cross his path, it's likely you'd be dead

He wrote a book bound in human flesh
told the secrets of Sumerian death
Crimson desert is where he laid his head

can you hear Cthulhu's call?
High priest to The Great Old Ones
monsters of death one and all
Satan's will shall be done

Ancient Evil

No one knows of the madness inside
To find the answer you must truly die
Darkness lurks deep in the heart of man

The answer is in the Necronomicon
The grimoire promises a new dawn
embrace it's power if you can

Gibt von Manilla Road noch mehr Songs in denen der Mythos, besonders Cthulhu, vorkommt. Spontan fallen mir ein:

"Children of the Night"
"Out of the Abyss"
"Return of the Old Ones"
"War in Heaven"
"From Beyond"
"The Books of Skelos: I. The Book of Ancients"

Mercyful Fate haben auch zwei Songs aufgenommen die hier genannten werden müssen, leider habe ich keine brauchbaren Videos gefunden, daher hier nur der Text (in Spoilern um den Post nicht zu sprengen).

"The Mad Arab"

Kutulu (The Mad Arab Part Two)

Ob die mehr Lovecraft-Songs haben weiß ich nicht.

Oha, den hab ich tatsächlich vergessen. Grandiose Band, nettes Video das ein wenig an "Bewitched" von Candlemass erinnert. Der Song "The Innsmouth Look" ist auch klasse.

Von Attacker waren mir bisher nur HdR Texte bekannt, auf der aktuellen Scheibe hat sich das geändert.

Von meinem Album des Jahres 2016 - Epic Metal at it's best!

It's by mercy alone, that I cannot recount. The memories fade and I weaken. A glimpse of old things, vile and cruel, haunting my dreams when I doze. The Spawn of Stars, Cthulhu and kin, invoked by a cult. In their folly they called the ones who would trample and crawl upon Earth, now their own.

Then I beheld Kadath and it's cloud-hidden peak.
And I beheld the Crawling Chaos beneath.
They kneel 'fore the invoker.
The Old Ones, awakened again.

The days are a fog, the misty unreal. I wait for the night and my ruin. Of vistas strange and lands passing below the shantak I ride when I doze. I hear Atal and Nyarlathotep, and the chanting of one I would slaughter. He speaks the name, from Leng he invokes the Old Gods, the Old Ones.

Then I beheld Kadath and it's cloud-hidden peak.
And I beheld the Crawling Chaos beneath.

Before he raises The Goat and Her Thousand. Before he calls the ones he cannot put back, I will attack. Before The Deep Ones come rising and crawling, Before he calls the ones he cannot put back, I will attack. They kneel 'fore the invoker.
The Old Ones, awakened again.

The moment has come, the horror unreal. They wait at the gate, but I see them. And in my mind I will always recall the sound of the Gods as they rose. I hear him call and a horrendous reply, the chanting will bring his own slaughter. The dagger shines in the hand of the fool, and I throw my own in his heart.

They kneel 'fore the invoker.
The Old Ones, awakened again.
Smite the invoker!

Guter Thread. (btw: Du bist nicht zufällig auch als Dark_Pharaoh im Deaf Forever-Forum unterwegs? Würde irgendwie passen. )

Jupp, deswegen spamme ich da gerade den HPL Thread voll
