Birthed from the shadowy mists of Bordeaux, France, THE GREAT OLD ONES masterfully weave the chilling narratives of H.P. Lovecraft into soundscapes of black metal brilliance. Their new album, Kadath, is a descent into the Dream Cycle of Lovecraftian lore, an odyssey through the realms that teeter between fantastical wonder and cosmic dread.
In Me, The Dreamer, we follow Randolph Carter on his quest to traverse the treacherous Dreamlands. The song, an intricate two-part masterpiece, unveils Carter’s yearning for the resplendent city prophecied in his dreams. But, as the divine gods of old would have it, his journey is barred by unspeakable perils and the promise of terrestrial and extraterrestrial fates intertwined. As Carter ventures into the eldritch territories, he inches closer to the edge of sanity, potentially meeting his doom on the shadowed side of the moon.
With Kadath, THE GREAT OLD ONES continue their commitment to evoking the unknown, the unseen, and the unconquerable in a symphony that dances on the brink of madness and serenity.
Kadath is out January 24th, 2025 on Season of Mist.
