Btw just to be a pedantic cunt, this band's themes have nothing to do with Lovecraft's work.

Never understood where people get the impression they are in any way lovecraftian. Maybe aesthetically a bit but yeah.

Hence why I put it in quotations, as they're often described as such. I know they don't take much if any inspiration from his work, but their aesthetic can give that impression.

My glow-in-the-dark vinyl version arrived like a full week ago but I don't have my record player with me, and it doesn't come with a digital download code, so it's just been sitting there taunting me to wait until the 26th to hear the album in full... Glad the reviews seem so uniformly positive and impressed with it, interesting to hear a band go back to the drawing board, reinvent much of their sound and succeed in doing so.

"teamster yeah, it's the soundtrack of their new game."



Portal would be the perfect band to make a soundtrack for a horror game.

Well theyd obviously have to go for a more atmospheric approach, and the whirlwind riffs would be good for like building up tension when its reaching an intense part of the game.

Thats the point though. If a horror video game can give me a fucking panic attack i think its done its job.
