Lovecraftian Metal

Lovecraftian metal is a subgenre of metal music that draws inspiration from the works of horror author H.P. Lovecraft. It typically features dark, atmospheric soundscapes, often with heavy, distorted guitars and growling vocals. The lyrics often focus on themes of cosmic horror, madness, and the unknown, and often incorporate elements of Lovecraft's stories and characters. The genre has been popularized by bands such as Electric Wizard, Portal, and Cult of Luna.
