Chapter VI in God is Myth Records 3” CDr Lovecraft series comes from the Italian black metal band Frostmoon Eclipse. The first two songs are black metal songs themed around two of Lovecraft's stories while the final song is an acoustic piece inspired by Lovecraft's death, collectively nearly nineteen minutes are present on this release.
'In the Vault' is a mid-paced song with some very catchy riffs present and both spoken and black metal vocals telling the story (I'm assuming). For the songs entire duration it stays within the same pace, and just features superb musicianship the whole way through, but it forgoes Frostmoon Eclipse's usual tendencies to splice in some acoustic parts. On the other hand 'The Thing on the Doorstep' is a nearly nine minute instrumental that again is a mid-paced black metal song, but thankfully here some acoustic guitars are used, and much like the previous song there are some absolutely colossal guitar riffs making an appearance here. Lastly is 'Providence, 1937-03-15, which in case you didn't know is the day H.P. Lovecraft died. This particular song is an acoustic piece with some spoken vocals and while you might expect the music to sound mournful to me at least its sounds fairly ominous.
Although this EP was limited (100 copies) and long sold out now, it was re-released last year as a part of Frostmoon Eclipse's split with Chaos Moon and Benighted in Sodom.
