Mythos Of Cthulhu, by The Great Old Ones

Mythos Of Cthulhu

by The Great Old Ones

supported by

theriddleofclouds This pleases me greatly.

Marco Zonta Second chapter of the Lovecraftian saga on ETR, another masterful release, full of darkness, depth and sound research. The isolation, void and mistery level the music transmits is exceptional, the vibrating slow dark melodies, surrounded by darkness and experimental sounds, create a unique trademark sound, only Great Old Ones has. The full experience is extraordinary! Already a 2023 best release candidate in my books. Can’t choose a single favourite track, they all are, I’ll pick a random one. Favorite track: Sunken City of R'lyeh.

about

Cthulhu is the priest or leader of the Old Ones, a species that came to Earth from the stars before human life arose. The Old Ones went dormant, and their city slipped under Earth’s crust beneath the Pacific Ocean. They communicated with humans by telepathy, and, in hidden corners of the world, uncivilized people remembered and worshipped Cthulhu in rites described as loathsome. These groups had statues of Cthulhu that seemed to be made of materials not found on Earth and chanted the phrase “Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn” (“In his house at R’lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming”). When conditions are right, the city will rise, and, with the help of the eternal Cthulhu cult, Cthulhu will awaken and again rule the world.

These Great Old Ones, Castro continued, were not composed altogether of flesh and blood. They had shape—for did not this star-fashioned image prove it? — but that shape was not made of matter. When the stars were right, They could plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, They could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R’lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for Them. But at that time some force from outside must serve to liberate Their bodies. The spells that preserved Them intact likewise prevented Them from making an initial move, and They could only lie awake in the dark and think whilst uncounted millions of years rolled by. They knew all that was occurring in the universe, but Their mode of speech was transmitted thought. Even now They talked in Their tombs. When, after infinities of chaos, the first men came, the Great Old Ones spoke to the sensitive among them by moulding their dreams; for only thus could Their language reach the fleshly minds of mammals.

REVIEWS

Following on from the awesome Yog-Sothoth album which was released last April, The Great Old Ones (aka Raffaele Pezzella / Sonologyst) is back with his second release of Lovecraftian horror. The music here is deliciously dark and otherworldly – with discordant drones and eerie soundscapes skillfully combined to create the perfect audio nightmare. Definitely an album to check out if you’re a fan of experimental dark ambient / drone with underlying sense of the strange and horrific.

Great comeback by ZeroK, experimentation and science fiction in pure J.G. Ballard vision. This is ZeroK at its best, a real sea of oscillators. A favourite track is a tough choice, they all work perfectly together as perfect but different pieces of a puzzle (the fantastic cover portraits this perfectly). Marco Zonta
