History EldritchAbomination / Music

* "The Width of a Circle" features DavidBowie "encountering" an Eldritch Abomination. Consensually, no less. (TheSeventies were a ''weird'' time.)

** In Guitar Hero: Metallica's "Metallifacts" video for "The Thing That Should Not Be," it also lists "All Nightmare Long" and "Ride The Lightning" as being inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's stories, specifically, "Shadow Over Innsmouth."
* Anything by The DarkestOfTheHillsideThickets, who were inspired by most of Lovecraft's work.
* In {{Savatage}}'s song "Hall of the Mountain King", the titular Mountain King is an eldritch abomination.

* "The Thing That Should Not Be" by {{Metallica}} is about such a creature, and, quite obviously, is directly inspired by Lovecraft.

* Anything by The Darkest Of The Hillside Thickets, who were inspired by most of Lovecraft's work.

* The Fame Monster from Lady Gaga's concert performance of Papa Razzi. Resembling a cross between an octopus and an anglerfish, it's HighOctaneNightmareFuel personified.

* "The Width of a Circle" features DavidBowie "[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean encountering]]" an Eldritch Abomination. Consensually, no less. (TheSeventies were a ''weird'' time.)

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDoWtqIGUjY "Iron Butterfly Theme"]], an instrumental piece about the birth and death of an "iron butterfly".

* Much of Current 93's and David Tibet's work has heavy eldritch-apocalypse overtones. Black Ships Ate The Sky & The Innmost Light Trilogy in particular.

* BlueOysterCult is very fond of including these. Their entire ''Imaginos'' album plays with it and the song E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) offers these lyrics:

* The titular universe-devouring force in "The Great Annihilator" by {{Swans}} probably qualifies.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dDGHOmZaCU "Azathoth"]] by Proto-Prog group [[{{Egg}} Arzachel]], which is about the Lovecraftian god of the same name.

* Large segments of both the LadyGaga fandom and hatedom see her as this.

-->"I'm in fairy rings and tower beds/Don't report this [[MIB three men]] said/Books by the blameless and by the dead/King in Yellow, queen in red...all praise/he's found the awful truth..."

* "I'm in fairy rings and tower beds/Don't report this three men said/Books by the blameless and by the dead/King in Yellow, queen in red...all praise/he's found the awful truth..." from E.T.I. (Extraterrestrial Intelligence) by BlueÖysterCult. Their album ''Imaginos'' plays with these ideas as well.

** The song Harvest Moon from their ''Heaven Forbid'' album features the following lyrics towards the end: "I sense the darkness clearer/I feel a presence here/A change in the weather/I feel some evil here/I hear some frightful noises/I don't go out at night/Since Bobrow's youngest daughter/Disappeared from sight Harvest moon/I know they'll find her some day/They find them all that way..."

** The Man Who Sold The World and The Supermen are more orthodox examples of this trope.

* In the Talking Heads song "Air" the very ''air itself'' is an Eldritch Abomination. Wow. "Air hit me in the face. I run faster and faster...into the air. And I say to myself, 'What is happening to my skin? Where is that protection that I needed?' Air can hurt you too, air can hurt you too. Some people say not to worry 'bout the air. Some people never had experience with air. It can break your heart...."

* Being heavily inspired by EventHorizon, the storyline for [[LucaTurilli Luca Turilli's]] ''Prophet of the Last Eclipse'' seemed to be going in this direction. The demons could likely qualify, as well as [[HumanoidAbomination anyone]] touched by [[TheCorruption The Black Portal]]. Though DarkIsNotEvil in the latter case. And if Riders of the Astral Fire is any indication, those are only a warmup for what's coming. Unfortunately the sequels never happened.

* Pretty much everything by Internal Suffering either has something to do with one of these or messing around with magic related to them.
