THE GREAT OLD ONES stream new track

The GREAT OLD ONES are streaming a new track taken from their highly anticipated new album 'EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy'. Meditative passages collide with explosive crescendos on the track titled "When the Stars Align", which is streaming now below:



A truly grim journey of cold, gruesome pitch-black metal steeped in nightmarish Lovecraftian lore, 'EOD: A Tale of Dark Legacy' will be released by Season of Mist worldwide on January 27, 2017. Pre-orders are available here.

Regarding "When the Stars Align", the band comments: "You will hear 'When the Stars Align', which is meant as an ode to H. P. Lovecraft's most fearsome entities, the Great Old Ones. In the course of our story, the protagonist realizes that the existence of the human race is vain. We are inexorably heading towards the return of the eldritch masters of the universe."

Heavily inspired by the literary works of American horror icon H. P. Lovecraft, THE GREAT OLD ONES explore the dark, forbidden, and violent spheres of black metal. Following the release of two well-received full lengths, the band are preparing to delve deeper into the dark lore they religiously swear by, with the release of their highly anticipated third album.

Steeped in nightmarish Lovecraftian lore, the band once again draw inspiration from the iconic writer to emanate tense, horrific atmospheres in a flurry of utterly extreme metal. Reinforced by macabre themes and morose subject matter, THE GREAT OLD ONES have made 'EOD..." one of the year's most compelling black metal releases.
