Musick to play in the dark
I just received a CD of one of my favourite albums today, which I've only ever heard on mp3 before -- "The place where the black stars hang" by Lustmord. A dark ambient classic.
A short poem in the CD insert caught my eye / imagination, and revealed a previously unthought connection between Lustmord and Lovecraft:
Not stars but suns
or these alone
noxious shrouds of flame
form a universal dread
of abnormal formless spawn
Nethermost abnormal son
that lies beyond the sun
eternal, dark
undying
answerable to none
There is a place
where the black stars hang
and the strangest eons call
that amorphous mass
unknown, immense
ambivalent to all
