At the Mountains of Madness

So, after "Razor Wire" some more heavy metal. I have to say I'm enjoying this genre jump. The need for accuracy in metal is paramount and these two tracks have forced me to improve my dual guitar recordings. I've also had to improve a few techniques which, as an untrained "dilettante" on the guitar, have never been part of my repertoire.
I think I have one more metal song in me after this one, perhaps a slower more measured tune.
In the meantime, the influence for this one comes from H.P. Lovecraft's novella of the same name. Lovecraft is one of US literature's best kept secrets. Frequently ignored as a pulp writer, he fashioned an entire mythos of elder things, dreadful interdimensional beings and strange cults. His work has influenced literature and film for the best part of a century and he is a true master of the macabre.
Play loud, enjoy the sacrifice I made getting those vocals....

At the end of the world
Underneath the ice
Buried for a million years
City in the sky
Strange spirits that move in the dark
Gotta get away

And the dogs they cry
It's underneath the ice
Gotta be afraid
At the mountains of madness

And they rape your mind
Memories of blood in the dark
Elder things alive!
Your God can't save you now
Down here in a corner of hell
Time to free your mind

And the dogs they cry
It's underneath the ice
Gotta be afraid
At the mountains of madness

At the mountains ....
