H.P.Lovecraft was a man who,
during his time was terribly under appreciated. It was only after his death,
that his true genius was recognized and respected. Titled the Edgar Allen Poe
of the 20th century, H.P.Lovecraft was instrumental in shaping up the genre of
horror with his works which dealt with themes like occult, supernatural and
extra terrestrial elements in such a way that they were clumped together under
a broader classification called Lovecraftian horror. He not only inspired a
multitude of writers, but his influence is also seen to play a major role in
many of today’s metal bands. From early bands like Black Sabbath, to modern
bands like The Black Dahlia Murder, all have gained inspiration from Lovecraft
in one way or the other. The Indian metal scene is not far behind in this
aspect. Djinn & Miskatonic from Bangalore, have a penchant for Lovecraftian
Horror as exhibited in their latest studio release.
