Screamingly sentient, dumbly delirious, only the gods that were can tell. A sickened, sensitive shadow writhing in hands that are not hands, and whirled blindly past ghastly midnights of rotting creation, corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities, charnel winds that brush the pallid stars and make them flicker low. Beyond the worlds vague ghosts of monstrous things; half-seen columns of unsanctified temples that rest on nameless rocks beneath space and reach up to dizzy vacua above the spheres of light and darkness. And through this revolting graveyard of the universe the muffled, maddening beating of drums, and thin, monotonous whine of blasphemous flutes from inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond Time; the detestable pounding and piping whereunto dance slowly, awkwardly, and absurdly the gigantic, tenebrous ultimate gods — the blind, voiceless, mindless gargoyles whose soul is Nyarlathotep.

-H. P. Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep

Inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft (a theme which enters our lyrics and even our melodies), Nyarlathotep is an amateur metal band formed by two brothers in 2007. This is our first year doing the RPM Challenge, and we intend to get an album done before the month is out -- even if we do have to balance it around college ;)

Group Members:
  • Vocals - Stars: Jubeh (from I Invented The Universe; everything else (crappily): Tsathoggua
  • Tsathoggua - Guitar, Mixing
  • Nyarlathotep - Drums, Synthetic stuff
