Set against a bold and immersive soundscape, the legendary 'The Call Of Cthulhu' unfolds its nightmare vision of elder gods and ancient mysteries through Thrussell's stentorian voice and Verhagen's brilliant soundtrack.
H. P. Lovecraft himself needs little introduction, described as 'the father of cosmic horror' and renowned as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, his chilling stories of madness and mayhem have been adapted into numerous popular films (like 2019's acclaimed 'Color Out Of Space' starring Nicolas Cage), graphic novels and radio plays.
Lovecraft's work continues to resonate with modern audiences through its visceral exploration of primal fear and deep psycho-geography - presenting stories that are both ancient and futuristic, that grapple with primorial angst, digital suffocation, alienation, atomization and the loss of identity in an accelerating future - leaving its mark across touchstones like John Carpenter's 'The Thing' and swathes of outré culture.
For it is indeed a New World...and H. P. Lovecraft saw it coming.
