In the Depths of R'Lyeh
$21.98
Double picture disc vinyl LP pressing. 2006 album from the doom/death metal band. From the legendary extreme ultra-doom/death band Catacombs, In the Depths of R'lyeh has been in countless 'zines and two books, heralded as the only album to do justice to and truly capture the atmosphere of the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It offers arguably the darkest, most macabre, otherwordly and underworldly atmospheres, and a literal monolithic heaviness in sound and style. While extremely slow in pacing at times, it's manages still to be driving, due to the rhythms, timings and composition. The vocals are borderline inhuman. Along with the strongly Lovecraftian lyrics, come together to create a masterpiece of extreme ultra-doom/death that also, in particular, will appeal to every true hardcore fan of H.P. Lovecraft.
