My personal favorite of the Lovecraft series. This piece feels so calm, eerie, and mysterious. The slight plucking of strings is off set by the ritual drums and consistent reverb. Amazing combination! theeverwanderer

A perfect companion to Black Corner Den, this one is also best played well into the night. Occasionally ghostly, always mesmerizing and beautiful. ambient_one
