your all fools, you hail something that would torture your soul for eternity without a second thought, i have fought with the daemons of the other world. seen the horrors that they possess, and you all sit here behind your screens giving them more power. fucking cretins. gather your own power and fight them! you have the strength in your true soul.
Cthulhu is hardly 'metal' in fact i seriously doubt that many of the people who play the awful dissonant noise that some call 'metal music' which is neither metal, nor music - have even READ the story entitled The Call of Cthulhu? In the story his form is actually described as being like 'plastic'.. bursting as a bubble when the boat runs over his body during the escape. The ONLY connection between Cthulhu and metal music is that they are both horrible, and could cause insanity.
@Mikanojo I have read each and every Lovecraft story ever published, and H.P.'s descriptions of cultic seances do read a lot like a 19th century description of a 20th century heavy metal concert.
@BusterXXXL Do you mean the orgiastic ululations of half-naked primitives, like those described in the Call of Cthulhu? In metal concerts.. only the mosh pit, viewed naively from a distance might appear similar - but honestly the cultists are better organized. A 'seance' is nothing like that. A 'seance' is a much more civilized, hobbyist pastime of the 19th century upper class who were attempting to either communicate with the spirits of the dead, or fleece gullible people, or both.
@VioletAnarchist If you cannot cope with an honest difference of opinion, especially an educated one, then really you should not be on YouTube. There is no hate in pointing out that there is really no connection between Lovecraft's Cthulhu and metal music.
@VioletAnarchist YouTube with its curious recommendations system brought me here because i had been watching Lovecraft / Cthulhu videos.. aside from the name and the horror aspects.. i just honestly do not see a connection. i do understand that most metal bands celebrate filth and horror in their music.. many metal band names will have some form of sadism / killer or Satanic evil connect.. black, sabbath, death/"deth" Reich/"ryche" cannibal, corpse..
@Mikanojo The writings of Lovecraft have inspired many different kinds of musicians over the years, in all genres of music. I've even heard Lovecraftian jazz bands and so forth. No single genre of music is more or less suited to having Lovecraftian influences than any other. But Bal Sagoth is certainly one of the best "Lovecraftian" metal bands, because the band's entire lyrical concept is heavily influenced by the pulp horror, fantasy and sci-fi of the 1930s.
@Asmodeus8797 Now i understand.. so what makes this metal band "Lovecraftian" is that the group has stated that their music is inspired by the writing of Lovecraft - not because they were intending to create music that was in any way associated with the story Call of Cthulhu or with Cthulhu or with Lovecraft.. they just like his writing and cite it as inspiration - OK.
@VioletAnarchist If it does not matter to you then why do you continue to spend your time writing to me just to tell me you do not care? Seriously why drag this on just to be annoying? lol Shoo.. go do some thing you do care about.
@VioletAnarchist I like to listen to this song over and over. It's because Cthulu is just so metal. I don't see a problem with telling you that you're an arrogant, pseudo-intellectual prick who acts like good grammar makes you intelligent and gets irate because cthulu is in a metal song while I'm listening to Cthulu metal.

Let us take our rightful place in this world and become the savage beasts we are! There is no God or Devil! There us only Cthulhu and the Outer Gods!
@Anubiss86- It wouldn't surprise me. Absu is a Mesopotamian god, and Lovecraft took the name Dagon from an old Semitic god, though He was related to grain and agriculture, not gribbly fish people.
Haha I know Lovecraft did kinda twist the mythology of most things ;p although I thought Dagon was also Meso/Sumerian..? Still, can't really fault a classic horror writer like Lovecraft. Some of the things that ran through his head.. He was WAY before his time lol!
Dude, don't you dare try to tell me about Spock!!!!!!!!! I know more about Spock than anyone in the world and I met Leonard Nimoy once and he shook my hand and I told him that Spock is my hero!!!

I would never bash the genre. I told you, I'm hard core black metal through and through. But the difference is you just talk the talk . . . I walk the walk. Oh, and I Rock the Rock. I also Spock the Spock, but only old Spock, not new Spock. Spock is badass! If Spock were in a band it would be Nifelheim. Everyone knows this.
And then you have the people who ONLY like old metal to make a 'I'm a real metal head" statement, who gives a fucking shit. and you clearly are denying anything to do with lovecraft simply because I like them and you don't like a band influenced by them, only because you want to make a point. You're quite transparent. Very, rather.
You sound like a fucking child. 'us black metallers'
I'm 17 and I'm not where as fucking dumb, blind ignorant and well, pathetic as you are. I have nothing against people who dress a certain way, but when they back it up by 'it's a life style' are just immature, and need to grow up. People dress a certain way for the reactions they get from it. It's all a childs game and completely meaningless.
No... you're not a real man... no matter how hard you try to convince yourself. I don't dress like anything because I'm better than you, I have no care for social status and materialism as I see a lot of people in those categories drown in their own egotism and have NO gain what so ever. Only a loss, a loss of sense of self. No one really cares if you dress like that you know.. MOST of the people in black metal bands.. don't dress like that off of stage, if you haven't noticed.
Just because you listen to one band that was maybe considered black metal in their time doesn't mean you know shit about the genre. Want to know why? Because they're only small roots of what it's evolved into and how it's depicted today, also, for a guy who's over hmm.. 30? You're quite ignorant and fucking stupid.
Rofl you're a fucking dumb ass of course he's dead but his works have been more recognized you idiot. Nearly ALL HORROR WORKS and even video games have some sort of reference or influence from Lovecraft stories.
If you think they are black metal you are indeed living in a fantasy. These guys probably never even met Mortiis. They could use some vocal lessons from Ville Vallo, too.
I did? You're the one that said Lovecraft is the most influential horror writer. EVERYONE who knows anything about literature knows that R.L STINE is the most influential horror writer of the 21st Century.
I did some research for you, by the way. HP Lovecraft is DEAD. You obviously do not know this.
I know everything about Black Metal and I've never heard of any H.P. Lovecraft so they're obviously not important. They must suck if you like them anyway.
I pronounce it Tulu, like in the story 'The Mound.' I remember someone (someone smart) saying that the 'cth' sound used to be pronounced with a 't' sound, and the pronouncement changed over time. Lovecraft used lots of archaic spelling, and used unnecessary letters to give an exotic feel to his words.
"The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly."
Interesting. The epic tone that these guys take certainly embodies the scope of Lovecraft's work..but I think the main problem is that it seems like it should be more...solemn. Or make some of the instrumentals kind of slimy sounding. Listen to The Serpent's Kiss by Symphony X and you'll understand what I'm getting at. Great stuff, seems almost like a direct soundtrack to a Lovecraft compilation!
your all fools, you hail something that would torture your soul for eternity without a second thought, i have fought with the daemons of the other world. seen the horrors that they possess, and you all sit here behind your screens giving them more power. fucking cretins. gather your own power and fight them! you have the strength in your true soul.

Black Metal is totally gay and all it's fans are world of warcraft masterbaters!
Emo and rap is where it's at!
Cradle Of Filth and Eminem shit all over that Black Metal crap.

Whitesnake a black metal originator? R.L. Stine an influential horror writer?
JWatson626 is clearly having a giggle, and delights in people taking the bait. ;)

If you think they are black metal you are indeed living in a fantasy. These guys probably never even met Mortiis. They could use some vocal lessons from Ville Vallo, too.
jwatson626 2 years ago
You just made yourself look extremely pathetic. By the way.
MrScorn 2 years ago
I did? You're the one that said Lovecraft is the most influential horror writer. EVERYONE who knows anything about literature knows that R.L STINE is the most influential horror writer of the 21st Century.
I did some research for you, by the way. HP Lovecraft is DEAD. You obviously do not know this.
jwatson626 2 years ago
You know fucking shit about Black Metal. Clearly you know NOTHING of H.P. Lovecraft either.
MrScorn 2 years ago
I know everything about Black Metal and I've never heard of any H.P. Lovecraft so they're obviously not important. They must suck if you like them anyway.

I pronounce it Tulu, like in the story 'The Mound.' I remember someone (someone smart) saying that the 'cth' sound used to be pronounced with a 't' sound, and the pronouncement changed over time. Lovecraft used lots of archaic spelling, and used unnecessary letters to give an exotic feel to his words.

A quote from one of Lovecraft's own letters:
"The actual sound - as nearly as human organs could imitate it or human letters record it - may be taken as something like Khlul'-hloo, with the first syllable pronounced gutturally and very thickly."

It's unlistenable tard-metal, if it's metal at all. Seriously, Bal-Sagoth is the worst "band" ever.
jwatson626 2 years ago
That's fascinating! Based on what criteria, exactly? Other than a hipster's knee-jerk "people like this so I won't to be edgy and unique" mentality?
What do you consider to be good, "real" bands? Examples, of a few and why, please.

I like real metal like H.I.M. and passionate and emotional music like Panic! At the Disco or Nine Inch Nails.

ummm...I'm pretty sure it's spelled "Chthulhu."
Moo231 2 years ago
There are many ways to "properly" spell the name.
Just like in Norse Paganism... I've seen Baldr primarily, but Balder and Baldur are also popular.
JonSchaffer57 2 years ago 3
Yep, "Cthulhu" can be spelled Thu Thu, Kluu Kluu, Kutulu... alot of ways.
Just remember the 'u' s.

Interesting. The epic tone that these guys take certainly embodies the scope of Lovecraft's work..but I think the main problem is that it seems like it should be more...solemn. Or make some of the instrumentals kind of slimy sounding. Listen to The Serpent's Kiss by Symphony X and you'll understand what I'm getting at. Great stuff, seems almost like a direct soundtrack to a Lovecraft compilation!

Well, they are listed in the Call of Cthulhu (d20) Monster Manual, so theoretically: yes. If you have a band of epic-level characters, that is.
