i'm sure you know about these guys but if not if u like the dark
Red-crimson era (and who doesn't) granchildren you cant go wrong with Unit
Wail, a side band of legendary French guitarist Frank W Fromy of Shub
Niggurath frame, whose mid-80s lp Les Morts Vont Vite (and intro cassette
titled Introduction, is imho, the best musical companion to Lovecraft's
writing. Yog Sothoth is a highlight.
