Perhaps one of the most enduring names in horror is H.P. Lovecraft, the Rhode Island author who created the Cthulhu Mythos, a shared universe of ancient deities, each more horrific than the last. His material has been the inspiration for countless films (Dagon, Re-Animator, The Dunwich Horror, The Mist), video games (Dead Space, Quake, Alone in the...
Spanish neoclassical metal band Dark Moor have been releasing albums since 1993, although they’ve undergone several lineup changes over the years, leaving guitarist Enrik Garcia as the only original member to still be in the band. In their 2005 album Beyond The Sea, the fifth track “The Silver Key” was, according to a 2005 interview, “…based in the...
One of the titans of the progressive metal scene, Dream Theater’s “Dark Eternal Night” takes heavy inspiration from Lovecraft’s short story “Nyarlathotep”. In fact, locations, imagery, and even some phrases are lifted directly from the tale about a Pharaoh who awakens after 2,700 years only to bestow horrific nightmares upon all who he comes across...
This 1960’s psychedelic rock band named themselves after the iconic horror author not just because they loved his work but because they used his stories as the inspiration of many of their own tracks. Often seen as featuring horror influences in their music, they were recognized for their phenomenal vocal harmonies and the eerie, haunting air that ...
While “The Call of Ktulu” may have been the obvious choice, “The Thing That Should Not Be” is a far more exciting and horrific track, at least in my own opinion. Referencing “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” and alluding to Cthulhu itself, this track is considered one of the heaviest tracks on Master of Puppets, thanks to the downtuned guitars. On a side...
Truth be told, the entire album Necronomiconis a tribute to Lovecraft, so if you’re looking for some dark, ambient music that has strong horror elements and call to mind visions of the Old Gods, hybrid human creatures, and other mysteries, this is a fantastic place to direct your focus!
Not only is the band named after one of Lovecraft’s Old Gods but they used his stories as the basis for many of their songs. It’s hard to describe their music, but they’re often placed in a genre called “Zeuhl”, which mixes progressive rock, jazz rock, and eeriness. If that sounds like it’s up your alley, I strongly suggest giving this a listen. Ho...
Not only have these Long Island rockers written about Godzilla and not fearing the Reaper but they also paid homage to Lovecraft with this great track! The song speaks of the Old Gods returning to “…sweep our cities back into Hell“. Also paying a quick reference The Wizard of Oz, the track is all about the Old Gods and the destruction they will cau...
Combine one part steampunk, one part grindcore, and one part jaunty punk and you’ve got yourself The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing. Hailing from London, the band took their name from a chalk inscription found during the hunt for Jack the Ripper. However, this track is specifically about a family that takes a seaside vacation only to be in...
Yup, Ozzy Osbourne, aka “The Prince of Darkness”, and company wrote a song inspired by Lovecraft!

It also includes telepathic communications, light beings, and much more. It’s your typical Lovecraft-ian ...

Aug 20, 2020 · One of late bassist Cliff Burton’s greatest pieces of input within Metallica was his fascination with H.P. Lovecraft. The cosmic horror of the author’s work appears on several songs, such as The...
The best Lovecraft-inspired music I've found thus far. I just finished writing an album based on several of HPL's stories and decided to look around to see what else was out there. I'm pretty astounded by these guys: The Great Old Ones - Al Azif.
