Cryptic Cult - Ad Meiorum Cthulhi Gloriam

Review by Linda Lester

Ad Meiorum Cthulhi Gloriam, the latest album by Cryptic Cult, is a dark and atmospheric journey into the depths of Lovecraftian horror. The album features a blend of black metal and atmospheric doom, with haunting melodies and eerie soundscapes that create a sense of dread and unease.

The opening track, "Ritual of the Old Ones," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its ominous chanting and heavy guitar riffs. The vocals are harsh and guttural, adding to the overall sense of foreboding. "The Call of Cthulhu" features a slower, more atmospheric sound, with haunting clean vocals and a sense of impending doom.

Other standout tracks include "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," with its driving rhythm and haunting guitar leads, and "Nyarlathotep," which features a mix of black metal and atmospheric doom, with eerie chanting and haunting melodies.

Summary by Linda Lester

Ad Meiorum Cthulhi Gloriam is a must-listen for fans of Lovecraftian horror and atmospheric metal. Cryptic Cult has created a truly haunting and immersive listening experience that will leave you feeling unsettled long after the album has ended.
