@Dionysius8421 meh...not sure I like it. Listened to the title track Depths of R'yleh, and I thought it was pretty crude. I was like, yeah, I know R'lyeh is a totally evil place, but since it is, your musical approach should be all the more subtle. I know good music doesn't write itself, but it feels like a waste of a topic. I just always feel this is something Sabbath should have done, or else a band a lot like them. Or Dio, though the approach would be totally different. Maybe just me...
@Brandt761 I enjoy it, but you're right; it's not the best. To each his own. I, personally, think the dark ambient project Aklo does the best job at portraying the subtle vileness of the Mythos.
@Dionysius8421 well, HPLHS is a totally different story. Given the role of their organization and the size of their projects their work is perfectly good. It's not original, but it doesn't need to be. It might even fail to serve its purpose if it were (since it's at least partially meant to raise Mythos awareness). Wheras if you're gonna make a metal album, a bit of imagination is called for.
@Brandt761 I dunno - at my dad's store, I talked my aunt into letting me play HPLHS over their speakers, and I heard someone whistling along to "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Fishmen." Twas a great day indeed.
@Brandt761 I'm German, it's on my keyboard. However, the pronunciation is definitely "a" (uh), so writing an Umlaut makes sense only if it's the name of a metal bänd.
@Qrawzseg well, they are both legitimate for praise of the old ones but arguably the "a" is a more Germanic sound than "ä", since the umlaut is just the replacement for the English "ay" (it sounds almost the same). And Germanic sounds are almost always better for demonic usage.
Fun game: Play this album for the Holidays and watch as your family slowly notice that something is amiss, but can't exactly pinpoint what.

For once a traditional Christmas song doesn't sound corny, which usually makes me a depressed otaku.

Why'd you use the album art for "In The Depths of R'lyeh" by Catacombs?
Great Lovecraftian doom metal, by the way; highly recommended.

@Dionysius8421 doom Metal as in "like the first five Sabbath Albums"`?
Brandt761 3 months ago
@Brandt761 Kind of. More like funeral doom (think the mindset of DSBM with the sound of Sleep) than classic doom.

@Brandt761 I always pronounced the umlaut, and it sounds fine. I think it sounds kind of strange with a schwa, to be honest.

@N4melessS0ldier so, German it is, for all ye cultists. Or just speak pure R'ylehian, but that's still a but harder to learn.
