French black metal outfit The Great Old Ones are Lovecraft nerds through and through; not only is their name taken from that legendary horror author’s work, but their new album, Tekeli-Li, is entirely based on At the Mountains of Madness. I guess that makes the massive and horrifying riff which kicks off ”Antarctica,” the new Tekeli-Li track that MetalSucks’ own Kim Kelly just premiered over at Pitchfork, more of a shoggoth marching riff than an elephants marching riff.
