Kaldath is Lovecraft's home of the Earth Gods, and while they're not as powerful as the band's namesake, the combination of both paints a fictionally enthralling theme for an album. What The Great Old Ones excels at is creating those dismal, harrowing, and unsettling atmospheres that Lovecraft's work is iconic for. Kadath, while enveloped in a shroud of ambiguity in Lovecraftian lore, is most certainly not that here: Kadath is a melodic black metal-wrapped, oppressive, and extreme listening experience that can be parsed and understood, albeit not easily. The Great Old Ones experience is a lot like eating soup if you have no arms: you don't get to enjoy it without the acceptance that the context requires a bit of messiness. This is a big boy listening album, so unless you're a hardened metal fan that can withstand the oppression, I'd look somewhere else - unless you're looking to challenge yourself; in which case, come on in!
