  • What kind of person dislikes such gift to the human species?

  • thumps up if you're a pizza and you're drinking weed while reading this video!

  • I so need to do acid once...

  • God, your sons need LSD =D

  • You guys listening and commenting are all F'd up on wacky stuff. I'm F'd up on the puremess... purnes... uuummm PURENESS of this music, and I'm sober and digging it. I give it 4 outta 5 stars and TWO BIG THUMBS UP.  I recommend this music track to all in search of a music fix.

  • @iloverealmusic101 Sobriety is highly overrated.

  • @iloverealmusic101 You are so right. I was just turned onto this group by someone who made a comment to my comment on a Moby Grape tune. People have to open their mind up to the old psychedelic stuff and not make fun of it.

  • there is an ear trick at the beginning

  • Thank you soooooooo much for posting this! Ahh, this song is so trippy and awesome! <3

  • this song drives me high. marijuana too.

  • thumbs up if you're high AND eating a shit ton of food right now and your mouse and keyboard is all greezy like

  • Well fuck , i'm high.

  • Cthulu is god. The Mighty Old One. If you don't get the reference to the entire band you should just figure it out and take acid. The books are better than today's acid anyways. So just read books; try to ignore the culturalism.

  • @roxyamused What do you mean "try to ignore the culturalism"?

  • Thumbs up if you're completely sober and still loving this.

  • @howlrat No, this music is so intoxicating that no one can be sober listening to it.

  • @AudioSquared Valid point.

  • @zytigon no shit, detective. but this is the BAND and NOT the writer.

  • it always drives me to madness. f*cking awesome!

  • Cthulhu for President 2012! Because the lesser evils are just not evil enough!...LOL...i saw this on a bumper sticker and thought i would share this gem with the greater Lovecraftian/HighPriestCthulhu community...peace to you all, and may the thing on your doorstep be a big ole package of some fineass bud and NOT a disgusting mass of putrid flesh inhabited by an evil immortal soul flitting from body to body thru the ages...yeah baby yeah...

  • @akitaman101 what the fuck are you on about.

    get in the real world.

  • @millz726 dear pussyboi, first, you are barely literate. second, your profanity impresses no one. third, your laughable attempt to insult me cannot work because you mean NOTHING to me. forth, turning off your e-mail so i cannot address you directly only shows you to be a cowardly puke. fifth, there is no fifth, i am done with you. now crawl out of mommies basement and ask her to breast-feed you some more; the closest thing to sex you will probably EVER have...tata you little bitch...

  • @akitaman101 ...

    like I just said, get in the real world. fancy talking isn't that impressive to me, in fact you sound like a pompus 12-year-old boy sat in a boarding school somewhere.

    please get a life before coming up with some witty and articulate bullshit post about how much of an idiot I am and how I don't get some.

    and i dont see how you can't email me...most people can do it fine.

  • Who would name themselves after a writer? Specifically lovecraft!

  • @saxabass because it sounds cool and lovecraft i great

  • Long Live Acid

  • YOG-SUTHOTH IS THE KEY! THERE IS MADNESS IN THE MOUNTAINS! THE COLOR! THE COLOR OUT OF SPACE! MY GOD I HEAR THEM COMING! THE RATS! THE RATS IN THE WALLS! MY DREAM-QUEST IS COMPLETE! KADATH LIVES! KADATH IS AND SHALL EVER BE!

  • @akitaman101 Excellent observations! I agree completely.

  • beware of ye shoggoths........

  • @stephenhayesuk and yer cuthulu...

  • que lixo

  • Good song but it has no Lovecraft horror atmosphere...instead of the name of the band and song..

  • @ElricMeln1 i know... had to listen to electric wizard immediately after hearing this

  • Do not mind me but I just heard the song Friday by Rebecca Black, boy how far have we sunk below the ocean bottom!

  • @mrjim271 shut the fuk up about rebeca black

  • @9Iamthewalrus ,

    Nice language!I just said a comment no need for cursing.Just stating opnion it is still a free country.

  • "...I could not help feeling that they were evil things-- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss. That seething , half-luminous cloud-background held ineffable suggestions of a vague, ethereal beyondness far more than terrestrially spatial; and gave appalling reminders of the utter remoteness, separateness, desolation, and aeon-long death of this untrodden and unfathomed austral world."

  • @birdcagemind Awesome, man. We gotta keep the old man of Providence alive.

  • Reminds me of It's A Beautiful Day

  • I can't believe this is here...  this search started with Fever Tree

  • @playerdouble Mine started with something else, but I went through Fever Tree and onto East of Eden. God love YouTube.

  • I think they named themselves HP lovecraft so people can remember the writer HP lovecraft.

  • @Protection220 as far as i have searched, all their songs are about Lovecraft's tales...

  • Having a total freak-out at work in my headphone world, lol

  • @DustyBinBoy Lol...try it while driving with the volume all the way up and the windows up as well.

  • *Feels high*

  • HOLY SHIT STEREO ABUSE.

  • Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

  • synthasized electric sounds in the mountains of madness

  • Hey. You had to be there...

  • man the live version is much better! on the album live may 11 1968 they perform this one and about 4 others (may be more, not that i know of) and all of them are just so demented, the musicianship is incredible, it's wonderful. But at the mountains of madness tops it all, the drums rolls are rediculous (michael tegza is pounding the drums in perfect rythm and full speed) it's really a great album. so annoying you can't find it on youtube

  • thumb up if youre high while listening to this!

  • @JohnyLennon16 I'm high on life, does that count?

  • @JohnyLennon16 with headphones ... fucking awesome!

  • @JohnyLennon16 Sorry no thumbs up. I haven't been as sober as right now in a very long time - still enjoying the music 8hrs drive away from good old Amsterdam

  • @PerditaDolorosa nice kom je van amsterdam?

  • @JohnyLennon16 Hah, does high on life count? lol.

  • LSD RULES!!!

  • That is such a GREAT album cover!

    Of course the music on the album is spectacular...

  • i cant stand how the fuck HP Lovecraft inspire an acid rock band, i mean, i like the songs, are quite crazy, but one thing does nothing to do with the other.

  • @xXviejas22Xx Well, like Tolkein, Lovecraft had a big revival in the form of a hippy following in the 60s. As I can confirm, reading HPL's works on drugs has a definite appeal.

  • @ProjectFlashlight612 yeah, but lovecraft would hate this yonkee hippies, and you can´t read on drugs, you may dodge bullets, walk on the wather, but you will never be able to read on drugs, ¿how the fuck can you confirm anything after a drug trip?, you can't, may be you can do it with a video camera, and if you read on drugs that reading has no effect in your dead brain at the moment you are in drugs, so you still on the same situation, can´t confirm shit.

  • @xXviejas22Xx If had the slightest experience with drugs you would know that it takes A LOT of drugs to be unsure about what's reality and what's hallucination. I'm talking like 10+ hits of acid. And besides psychedelics, most other drugs don't test your existential well-being. And please stop saying that a mind is a dead mind on drugs. You obviously don't know about the HUNDREDS of psychologists, scientists, and philosophers who actively used and promoted LSD, among other drugs. You bigot.

  • @CrispyShambles You are not conscient on drugs, if you take 10+ hits of acid you cant remember shit of what you do, psychologists are cheap bastards, hundreds is a little number, only yonkees use and promote drugs, if we have to tolerate every damn chimp on earth we will stay in the jungle for ever.

  • @xXviejas22Xx You most defiantly will remember your experiences on 10+ hits of acid. In fact, it'll become a turning point in your life and a test of your blissful morals and values, a reformation of all that you hold to be truth and real. I can tell by your comments that you've never experienced LSD, or any other psychedelic, and you're talking completely out of your ass. I know there are some horrid drugs out there, like Heroin and blow, but you should do some drugs before you criticize them.

  • @CrispyShambles The pitfall is when one comes to believe in their hallucinations. it's good, I guess to throw the cards in the air and pick them up, but doing it too much leads to oblivion.... seen enough of that back then. Drugs are dangerous no matter whether it is Rx, hard, pot, or psychedelics. The art obtained through LSD use had, has, it's price. Yours seems to be spelling and raging in postings. Alienation, anyone? LSD; "Love you today, don't know you tomorrow."

  • @xXviejas22Xx That maybe true of yourself but it was not my experience..

  • @xXviejas22Xx ive taken 10+ hits of acid and i remember all of it. keep your mouth shut you know nothing.

  • @SultanOfTheOrient yeah, shure

  • what a trip

  • Having lived the 60s and seen all of these Bands and more Live. I would go back in a New York minute. Those of us that lived it feel very disconnected from today's world & Music. It just isn't Groovy Man .

  • @dbrew2u hey man I'm 26 and I feel what you sayin,every day...the whole western population is brainwashed by medias and couldn't tell a turd from a flower even if they try....opposite to let's say Indian people,for example,they still retain soul and are connected with something higher... so today artists need to keep their feeling and emotions locked in a safe,more and more . Sorry for the rant anyway,I just felt your comment.

  • One day me and my friend went out to the forrest and dropped some LSD. I have this song and many others of HP Lovecraft on my phone. Well, we played HP Lovecraft, the Storybook and the Strawberry Alarm Clock. What a beautiful trip man and a beautiful experiance.

  • Edgar Allen Poe is a better writer than lovecraft (in horror genre), but i love lovecrafts lovely writings as well.

  • the sound that starts at 4:40 makes me think of a vacuum cleaner... anyone else?

  • Lovecraft and the Vanilla Fudge. The real Dynamic Duo of pyschedelia. The White Ship and Where is Happiness.

  • lisen with headphones

  • MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY GRADS, REUNITE!

  • There's a shadow over Innsmouth when I listen to this.... Awesome!

  • This is really awesome! Im a huge fan of the psychedelic rock/folk and theres so much music i havent heard yet, everyday i find something more :D thanks for the uppload man!

  • Why does utube brng out the anger in people? This is very strange indeed.

  • so what band did this? cause i havent been able to find any music group...

  • This almost sounds like tool and if i'm wrong then oh well its just my opinion.

  • this is fucking insane.

  • CALL OF CHTHULU METALLICA!!!!!!!

  • An excellent Psychedelic 5 star song: At the Mountains of Madness - H.P. Lovecraft [Chicago, Illinois] - 1968 - "Good first impression on this Psychedelic Rock song that reminds me of Jefferson Airplane at their BEST. AMG Pick. The vocal harmony especially Dave Michael's four-octave range (back-up vocals) is OUTSTANDING!" - Two Classic Albums from H.P. Lovecraft: H.P. Lovecraft/H.P. Lovecraft II (Collectors' Choice Music)-2000.

  • FYI DON'T DROP AND LISTEN TO THEIR ALBUMS! BAD TRIP MACHINE

  • @LeFruFru

    I.m OK listening to this"tripping" :)

  • @LeFruFru too late!! we did that in '71. still here though...

  • Lay on the grass, in the sun, listening to HP Lovecraft. Life doesn't get much better than that!

  • nice and stoned and this song it scares me man

  • nice things to listen to when we are sleepy...^^

    hurray Lovecraft!

  • Listen to this with headphones....WHOA!!!

  • @Jcm9991 True..!

  • @Jcm9991

    A shit in the head :D

  • Good old music

  • for those who are bashing this music or other music, its personal preference. not possible, logically anyways, to badmouth what another person likes, takes pride in, or creates. although this music is much different than groups such as Nox Arcana, brings with it a different atmosphere. more of a wild, crazy and distant, but familiar, atmosphere. I find it very akin to Lovecraft's stories in one way, but nowhere close in other views. again, personal preference....

  • good hippie metal but not in the spirit of lovecraft

  • Karl Sanders works better for me to read a novel like "At The Mountains of Madness". I`m pretty sure that none of you would get in mood listening to that hippy stuff in order to read a book like that...

  • gaaahhhh! im outta here

  • cry more.

  • They were such an awesome band. Their live album released by Sundazed records was pretty hip. Very San Francisco sound, yes, but from Chicago.

  • What this has to do with ancient alien Gods buried in Antarctica I don't know but it's a cool song all the same.

  • i imagine those who remember this also remember Amazing Metaphysical Circus by Joe Byrd and the field hippies lol ....... what a fun time that was :)

  • yep

  • squarepyramid99 should be knighted, and given a grant.

  • nyarlathothep

  • I think I agree ^^

  • they sort of remind me of a mix between jefferson airplane and the moody blues

  • agreed, but with a more haunting vibe in this song.

  • Wonderful. It is like early Pink Floyd meets the Great Old Ones. Though putting Roger Waters and David Gilmore in a recording studio with Cthulu and Azsathoth. Though I don't know which would have the biggest ego.....

  • Love this song, Love This band, Love H.P. Lovecraft.

  • @MythosCthulhu Interesting. You also have the dullest commercialised shit favourited.

    Are people like you a bit "hit with a plank against the head" unselfaware ?

  • This is some wild stuff. Good though.

  • Hey? I thought it was an author and a book.

  • It's apparently also a band x)

  • I'd have to say that songs like Orion or Call Of Ktulu songs fit better but still this isn't that bad at all.Maybe the sound should be a bit darker.

    As for those who complain about LSD music well I hear the crap music we have today and all those bands that say no to drugs.I prefer my musicians on LSD if they can make great songs.

    Overall this is not bad at all.

  • Todays music is just a troucious, factory process garbage from the likes of the Jonas Brothers, American Idol or American Idiot as I like to call it.I agree with you on the music today no talent.

  • That is such a foolish thing to say when there SO many good bands out there. No, there's nothing good in the top 40, you have to look to find it. It just sounds to me like you're not much of a music fan. You cant expect to find something you love if you think its going to be handed to you.

  • Oh Yes I am a very big musical fan more than you can imagine.

  • Ok, well maybe it was a little harsh of me to word it like that. I just firmly believe that the best music has to be looked for

  • I agree, and thanks I know what you mean all is cool my friend.

  • you mean that terrible core metal shit.... and if you check out the tab for that band its just all shitty as fuck but played fast

  • This,

  • @Methoswicca haven't you noticed the doped out bands make better music then the shit we have today? such as justin bieber and such

  • @Methoswicca

    Lol the music these days is just a matter or fixed beats and repeated phrases. let the ergot poisioning open up the soul and make even more insane grumbles, yells and whispers....that is talent my friend!

  • HPL Puritans will probably hate this but I think its great in its own right. I read the books in the '90s after watching John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness, and loved it. The music is not Metal but has a different perspective on the Mythos.

  • Guess you never heard the "music" of Shakespeare's Sister...now THAT is an insult!

  • @squarepyramid99 Indeed, my friend! Haha,

  • @squarepyramid99 I actually don't mind them anymore, they've got a unique sound. They still fail in comparison to H.P. Lovecraft's work but, they are one of the things keeping him out there. :D

  • @TenchuSilentAssassin *says the guy with the TACKIEST McDonalds ADHD braindead culture favourites*

    shut the fuck up, you fucking idiot ....

  • @gsh73la ? Wow, you are really random man. You check peoples favorites lists to judge them? God, you're one ignorant human being.

  • Nox Arcana...A crap Goth put on nothing even remotely origional in their work, a thousand goth cliches rehashed..if it wasn't for bands like Mad River, and the Dark Psychedelic music, or say Hawkwind stuff like that that had the guts to push music to new extremes, Nox Arcana couldnt put over an unfunny joke at your expenses. sorry this is real musicians playing real music.

  • This is an electronic shake-hands. When you're right, you're right!

  • @stretcherbearerband "Nox Arcana...A crap Goth put on nothing even remotely origional in their work, a thousand goth cliches rehashed.."

    Funny. I don't even have to listen to the music, just see the covers and think EXACTLY THAT. lol

  • @tunicaroja86 Another guy with an awful favourites list

    Total TACK

    lolz

  • I'm surprised they aren't more well known

  • This is rad man.

  • This is what happens when you have too much LSD.

  • i prefare to take lsd if i had the guts and listen all the to this kind of music, with doing nothing else !

  • @Zuwayed Look at today's music: This is what happens when you don't have LSD

  • Bought the album as a re-issue many years ago in the UK.

  • i was gonna get this classic record on ebay for a great price but woke up by the time the bidding was over....and there was only one bidder!!!!he got it for like 10 dollars...i could of outbidded that twat.....the record was in great shape too

  • Check out the Live cd Live from the Fillmore 5-11-68. This song is on it as well as The Drifter, Wayfaring Stranger and more. Totally mind blowing live performance!

  • Oh man this song is really wicked!!!!!

  • FANTASTICO!!!

  • ....beyond an Acid Trip!!

  • lol the guy on the swing looks like ringo star lol

  • One day me and a friend where out on a camping site review for a multi-party camping trip we got totaly lost looking for Molotov Diggins and it was getting late. I got the strangest feeling that we should turn down a unmarked/unpaved Mountain road, it was then that the radio (which had been playing static) suddenly started playing this song and the rest of the album, 3 hours later we found molotove diggins.

  • Is Molotov Diggins a guy or a town? Either way...glad you found! I've had nights like that too...scary!!

  • @BadgerFireMoon my friend and I

  • stoner trip music at its finest from the late 60's. they used to play around here in Chi. back then, Kinetic Playground, The Cellar,etc; but I was in jr. high then and never saw them. I was into the books of H.P.back then, so I remembered the band, still got the LP. Peace

  • This brings back memories of sitting high with headphones!!!!! I quess the heavy metal fans would say "WTF were you thinking"!

  • Hey, I'm a heavy metal fan and I love psychedelic music. It's all connected, man.

  • @sauronthegr8 Most of my favorite metal bands like Atheist, Opeth, Gordian Knot, Gorod, Emperor all seem to have a lot of psychedelic influences.

  • @sauronthegr8 yeh except heavy metal is shit

  • @irishelk1 hahah! you dumbfuck, why would you want to start a controversy by stating that heavy metal is shit? You know what? You just don´t have the BALLS to listen to Heavy Metal you mental retarded.. go listen Pet Shop Boy fucking sissy....

  • @stonedozerband go and get laid you goth freak !

  • @irishelk1 You´re nothing but an ignorant asshole, Goth has nothing to do with heavy metal, if you know shit, then STFU. Go home wuzz

  • @stonedozerband GOTH

  • The universe is connected, man. Our minds and bodies are one.

  • @raizr How right you are.

  • @raizr Quantum physics. The All-In-One and the One-In-All is Yog-Sothoth.

  • @sauronthegr8 what is connected? What are you talking about?

  • @sauronthegr8 yeah, all of us consume psychedelic drugs...
