History EldritchAbomination / Music

* Behind Space by InFlames

* Electronic Ambient group The Orb has a song called "A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From the Center of the Ultraworld". Apart from being a LongTitle it's a good description of what an EldritchAbomination is[[note]]It's also a perfectly sensible and accurate description of an episode of ''Series/BlakesSeven''[[/note]]. The song itself is pretty soothing and strange in it's own way.

* The Presence from the NineInchNails album ''Year Zero.''

* The Fame Monster from Lady Gaga's concert performance of Paparazzi. Resembling a cross between an octopus and an anglerfish, it's NightmareFuel personified, complete with NaughtyTentacles. Still, not too much trouble if you've got a sparky bra on hand. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcoGo7-ccVI&feature=related Watch here.]]

* {{Nile}} writes about a few of these in their songs, sometimes referring to Egyptian deities and sometimes to Lovecraftian ones. The best example in their music is from "Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten", which is essentially a retelling of the story "Dagon" by Lovecraft, only this time involving serpent folk: "I hath dreamed bleak and grim dessolate visions of the pre-human serpent volk, and communed with long dead reptiles, silently watching throught the ages, in cold curious apathy, the unending sorrows and sufferings of an abysmal human kind."

* Being heavily inspired by EventHorizon, the storyline for LucaTurilli'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 warm up for what's coming. Unfortunately, the sequels never happened.

One girl seemingly escapes, only to encounter the source of the mutations and GoMadFromTheRevelation]].

* 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...."

-->"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..."

** The spoken lyric to ''I Have A Special Plan For This World'', written by horror author ThomasLigotti, has several references to these, the most blatant perhaps being the "sardonic spirit" that [[HannibalLecture speaks to the narrator about death]]...or [[OmnicidalManiac the narrator himself]], depending upon your interpretation.

** In ''GuitarHero'', 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 Creator/HPLovecraft's stories, specifically, "Shadow Over Innsmouth."

** The song Harvest Moon from their ''Heaven Forbid'' album features the following lyrics towards the end:

** And in the song ''SubHuman'', which appears in two versions (''Secret Treaties'' and ''Imaginos''):

* The music video for the {{Animal Collective}} song ''Peacebone'' involves a [[InterspeciesRomance relationship]] between one of these and a human.

* 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 Thing That Should Not Be" by Music/{{Metallica}} is about such a creature, and, quite obviously, is directly inspired by Lovecraft.
** Also "The Call Of Ktulu" (though it's an instrumental).

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