I don't remember if this has been mentioned before, but there was a band in the 1960's called H. P. Lovecraft

My friend gave me a copy of the CD. Maybe I will put up a sample at some point Or at least a review.
I've got one or two old vinyl albums of theirs, and they were pretty good. Their music wasn't really Lovecraft themed, but they had a song called "At the Mountains of Madness". Their music holds up better than a lot of more popular bands from that day. They sound similar to a better-known band called "Love", which is a compliment.
I have this band's CD, I think it's the first two albums. There all right. Other than the song mentioned above I think they did a song called The White Ship and maybe The Shunned House. It's been a long time since I 've listened to it. It's worth pickin up.
Also Love is an awesome 60s band. Great stuff.

Or at least a review.
