Beaucoup de groupes de metal ont fait des morceaux sur l'univers de Lovecraft. Si certains sont biens connus (notamment Metallica avec "The Thing that should not be" sur Master of Puppets et "The Call of Ktulu" sur Ride the Lightning) d'autre le sont moins.
Je vous présente ici le groupe The Vision Bleak, une groupe de metal à tendance black originaire d'outre Rhin, avec une ambiance très victorienne. Le chant est grave, comme venant d'outre tombe et les musiques très sombres.
Dans leur (courte) discographie (une démo et trois albums), Lovecraft est présent sur leur deuxième opus, Carpathia, sorti en 2005. Dans cet album, trois titres font référence à l'univers de Lovecraft:
_ la 4°: "Dreams in the Witch-House" faisant directement allusion à la nouvelle La maison de la Sorcière.
_ la 6°: 'The Curse of Arabia" qui nous parle de l'auteur du Necronomicon.
_la 7°: "Kutulu" et son puissant refrain: IA! IA! KTULU FTHAGHN! IA! R'LYEH! KTULU FTHAGN!
En bonus, je vous livre les paroles des chansons dont je viens de vous parler:
Dreams In The Witch-House
[Scene III]
Despite all warnings the first night in the supposedly cursed house is at hand.
So, these are the walls
Wherein hides my doom
And night, when it falls
Brings ghoul-ridden gloom
Rest shall I find in here
'till death doth his deed
Away with these tales of aghast!
That bereaveth my sleep.
Now wine and dim light bring slumber to me!
A new morning shall prove them all wrong,
Them olde creeps and their
Dull fairytale fantasy.
The haunt is on...
"And to thee night appears
Sans the quiet of her spheres.."
No longer can I bare
The pesterings of light
Safe the sacred fires
That moon and stars ignite.
Good is evil, wrong is right
And thy horrors my delight!
The haunt is on...
No rest will I find
As long as a dream
Within my wretched mind
Brings darkness to sheen.
For sorrow and woe
Seem my destiny
No thought of dispersion,
Nor gleams of the hope
Of the hopeless
Have found into me!
The Curse Of Arabia
[Scene V]
The following morning.
Confused by the happenings of last night he seeks advice at the church nearby.
The priest now reveals to him is true nature.
One thousand and one moon ago
In darkest age of yore
Man praid to ancient gods
And lived by secret lore
One ancestor of thine
Whose blood runs in thy vein
Who travelled all the seas
Was said to be insane
So in one fateful night
When clouds did hang the moon
He crossed the river Nile
And settled our doom
In the strange realms of Arabia
He fell to gem and gold
And in his greed he cursed ye all
By a spell of old
Temples were made
Built by thousand hands
And evil did create
Gold from the desert sands
Gem on Gold
Stone on Bone
...And all did pray to great KUTULU!
One thousand and one moon ago
In darkest age of yore
Man praid to the ancient gods
And lived by secret lore
Grand evil was invoked
Just one word can describe
"Kutulu" was the bane
That rode the winds of night
Great riches he did bring
To those that served his deed
But death and doom was cast
On folk not of his seed
All women have been stained
Filled with his black cum
His malice runs in thee
Be cursed Kutulu's son!
Kutulu!
[Scene VI]
The priest goes into a detailed description of the unholy rite
That did cast the evil spell onto our main character.
A moonless sky, midnight was nigh
No sound did break the still
A strange mystique
Was fellt in all
A spirit that seemed
Wrong and ill
Suddenly the cold winds blew
And coyotes howled afar
A mighty thunder shattered the earth
The growl of grand GNAA
Whisp'ring voices could be heard
Utt'ring a foul spell
Man circled 'round a secret stone
And summoned greatest hell
Cold blades did light in darkness
And the high priestess
Started the unholy rite...
IA! IA! KTULU FTHAGHN!
IA! R'LYEH! KTULU FTHAGN!
Blood was shed unto the stone
That raised into the air
And from the ground crept
What seemed snakes,
But God know what was there!
Cold blades did light in darkness
And all the desert
Seemed to join the blasphemy
IA! IA! KTULU FTHAGHN!
IA! R'LYEH! KTULU FTHAGN!
e
"Kutulu" was the bane
That rode the winds of night
Great riches he did bring
To those that served his deed
But death and doom was cast
On folk not of his seed
All women have been stained
Filled with his black cum
His malice runs in thee
Be cursed Kutulu's son!
