    *“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”*

      +Edude117 Or it is exactly the stuff you should listen to... for as your mind lulls itself to sleep, it juxtaposes your want- or is it a need- to delve deeper and learn the secrets of the deep? But, just like diving into your own head, what you ascertain from its stygian depths could very well gnarl your fragile hold of reality, instead of quelling your voracious hunger for knowledge. Thus is the enticement in scratching the itch for knowledge, and the portend to stay far away from it.

    They come almost every night now... the ones I have started calling 'Intruders'... they wait until my eyes are nearly closed and my mind is half asleep, and that's when it starts. A piercing pain in my mind's eye that no amount of screaming will get rid of. Long, powerful fingers reach out from the darkness and hold me in place as sinuous appendages wrap endlessly around my throat and ankles. After a brief struggle, all is still, and I cease to exist for an unimaginably long time... I don't know what happens during that time, nor do I care to. The worst part about it all is that I've never actually seen any of them... they know exactly how to keep hidden, these Intruders...

    Just started reading "The Burrowers Beneath" again by Brian Lumley. I've not read much Lovecraft but I have however read many Brian Lumley novels who took inspiration from Lovecraft. And many of Brian Lumley's novels before he created his own "Necroscope" series were based on Lumley's Cthulhu Mythos. So I'm familiar with the Cthulhu Mythos through Lumley's writings. I've been fortunate enough to have collected some of the originals from England. ( I live in the US. ) I'm going to begin revisiting them. "The Burrowers Beneath" being one of those. :) In the age of internet streaming services and video games we sometimes forget about how great a good read is, I think. I know people that say they never read a novel in their life, wow, how unfortunate for them... I can't even imagine having lived my life without all the epic adventures I've been on through the works of fantastic writers.

  • @DecayingReverie
    @DecayingReverie 8 лет назад +268

    I love this so much. I used it for background music and inspiration for my investigative poem for my poetry class. Here it is if you're interested:
    Lovecraft’s Parents
    A madness took hold of me
    just as madness took hold of father.
    I was just a boy when I saw the men
    dressed in white suits
    charge into the theater and steal him away.
    They said the syphilis was the cause for his
    madness but I knew otherwise.
    Madness rises not from man’s devices.
    Madness comes from places astral,
    from pelagic beings who lurk within the depths
    of both the world and the mind,
    their discorporate visages projecting
    a wave of screaming, twisted, total
    madness.
    It was those great beings that really took daddy,
    not the men from Butler Hospital.
    Slaves serve the master’s purpose.
    I should count myself lucky.
    Then they took mommy.
    Pulling her by the hair
    out into the damp Providence streets,
    throwing her into a van
    with bars on the window,
    saying it was her hysteria and depression
    and that she would get better at
    the Hospital.
    I wrote her every day.
    She never got better.
    Gallbladder surgery was
    her final sentence after
    her mind was spent,
    after her mind was taken.
    It will be my turn next.
    The human mind is
    frail and insignificant on its
    own.
    Imminent terror approaches to take me.
    It roils and burbles,
    writhing in the sticky viscera,
    bathed in an air of insanity.
    But first, I will leave my mark.
    Eldritch, arcane practices,
    long lost invocations,
    black candles, ancient runes
    of a long lost language
    all culminate into an
    oppressive darkness that seems
    almost tactile.
    The insanity will rip my mind
    like an overzealous stage crew who rips
    the veil open while the actors
    are mid-dress, unprepared for the show.
    And now, my final act complete,
    the end draws to a close.

This world and worlds beyond belong to you, our days and nights are gifts from you.

    I stood at that dark abyss that I knew so well. Watching. . .waiting. . .knowing what was down there was calling to me, but dreading what it was at the same time. The beckonings grew louder as i approached the edge of the cliff that would lead straight down. And again grew my fear. Wondering what was down there, and fearing it as well. Hearing the calls again and again, I took a breath, stepped forward, and let myself fall. . .
    What I had encountered changed me forever.

However dark ambient gradually took over me and now it has its place among my favorite genres along with a big percentage in my playlists. It's too bad though than I can not share it with anybody since everyone that I have shown it to gives me the same reaction "it's ok but when will the song start?" Balcanic problem indeed my friend.

    Nothing. That's all I felt. Both in terms of emotion and when considering my own existence. The beast I was confronted with was so overwhelmingly towering; it must have pierced the sky above my head and peered into outer space. Its howls shook the ground below me. It sounded hollow, but at the same time carried a force of thunder. It uttered a tongue that I couldn't even imagine comprehending, least my consciousness would shatter. The awe of this monster's might filled me with such dread, with such hopelessness that I couldn't help but just sit down on the cold, dark blacktop, crossed legs and let it consume me. There was no use of fighting back. No use of fleeing. It would just hunt me down shortly after. If I managed to escape, this night at least I was certain it would haunt my dreams; turning them into nightmares. As I gazed at this behemoth of a creature's ghastly complex, I felt my eyes light ablaze and my mind began to rot. Something was filling my thoughts that I knew did not belong. I gained insight of humanities destruction. It was horrific, but at the same time peaceful. Then as the monster swept me up into its grasp, I couldn't even let out a cry as I instantly began experiencing the seething pain of dying the most painful deaths for all eternity.

  • @ivorymantis1026
    @ivorymantis1026 4 года назад +7

    The secret to understanding the breath of the Old Ones is to refuse yourself the urge to cling desperately to the gentle droning. Let the thought-consciousness slip through you like water. Do not grip or hold on or you will be tugged away and under. Let yourself glide and soon you will feel this force flow through your being. From head to toe, let it be the fluid to rush though your gills as you drift forward on the undercurrent of their essence. Then you will be as the remora to the shark, a partner even if not equal.
    Within these pallid steps you find your family, humming a similar welcoming tune of harmonies yet understood yet so nostalgic.

    When I'm drawing dark stuff I'm usually listening your music, it helps a lot. I finished a Cthulhu piece few weeks ago. This would have come handy earlier but no worries I'm gonna use this with my recent project. Thanks for this channel Cryo Chamber!

    I'm a Christian and I really like this music! I love the lore of the universe that Lovecraft has created and I love the idea of a great evil god in the dark sea.

    As the music progresses, it gets louder and louder as you descend further down to the unknown and the madness that awaits you.
