Eldritch Horror

Blending a unique brand of dark, heavy, memorable riffs and eerie Lovecraftian-like themes, they joined the ranks and provided a new dimension to the already strong North Carolina metal/punk scene. They effectively harnessed the power and creativity of not only the well-known metal masters but also the lesser known established acts of the time such as Death, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Carcass, Bolt Thrower, Sepultura, Kreator, Sodom, Venom, Bathory, D.R.I., Voivod, and Nuclear Assault. A similarly dark cross-section of art and literature, specifically the works of literary and visual giants such as Edgar Allen Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Ian Miller, and John Blanche, in part, were further catalysts for immense inspiration and exaltation. From 1990 through 1993, Eldritch Horror produced demo tapes that were heavily traded worldwide with the massively loyal and DIY underground metal zine community. They also appeared on King Fowley's first "Midnight Offerings" compilation CD in 1992 and performed regularly in North Carolina, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Maryland while building a strong local fan-base. Over a decade of silence began in 1994. However two rare surprise shows in 2006 demonstrated Eldritch Horror had not been forgotten and in 2013, the band decided to ceremoniously re-form to pick up where they left off. In 2015, they self-released their long-awaited debut album "Untouched By The Sun", a full-length 9 song re-recording of all the definitive Eldritch Horror tracks from the past. Since then, there have been many great live performances, including an appearance at the world renowned Hopscotch Music Festival and a headlining spot at the 2017 Raleigh Deathfest. Post-COVID has proven to be a fruitful time for Eldritch Horror as they completed recording their follow-up EP entitled "At the Altar of Death". Engineered by Mike Dean (Corrosion of Conformity) and mixed/mastered by Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity), it features three tracks of raw, unadulterated Death Metal.
