Hi, folks. There's a song in James Labrie (Dream Theater vocals) solo album "Elements Of Persuasion" (which is very great and has a sort of lovecraftian feel to it) called "Drained" which is inpired by the HPL storie "The Outsider". It's my first post and i rushed to post something. A lot of other things come to my mind right now, but i will save that for another posts.
Buy the album, it's really worthy...
Does anyone know any other songs or albums inpired by Lovecraft???

Well, since you mentioned Labrie, I'll start with:

The Dark Eternal Night - Dream Theater
Almost certainly about Nyarlathotep. Also, it's AWESOME.

Call of Ktulu - Metallica
True, it's just an instrumental, but it sounds sinister as hell.

The Thing That Should Not Be - Metallica
This one just seems like they threw together random Mythos references for the lulz.

All Nightmare Long - Metallica (Yet again)
I read somewhere that it was about the Hounds of Tindalos, but if that's the case they got some details wrong. =/

Cthulhu Dawn - Cradle of Filth
This band is aptly named.

Also, the band Darkest of the Hillside Thickets writes almost ALL there songs about various elements of the Mythos.

...Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand commence flaming. XD

Almost all of Bal-Sagoth's songs are mythos, or Robert E howard based.

My uncle is in "cohoots" [sp?] with one of the people in Darkest of the Hillside Thickets.

Apparently the band member goes to his comic shop all the time :D
