THE DARKEST of the HILLSIDE THICKETS
Cthulhu Strikes Back

The dread Necronomicon — The Book of Dead Names — whispered of throughout history and made popular by pulp horror author H.P. Lovecraft; filled with sonic "keys" that open gateways inbetween the spaces we know, where the mysterious Great Old Ones, with unpronounceable names like "Cthulhu", wait to walk the earth again; few know the book's secrets and fewer still can produce a copy. It is rumored, however, that a certain rock band out of the Fraser Valley in British Columbia have access to this, and other forbidden tomes - or at the very least, access to the internet.

This band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets has been known to pepper their lyrics with Lovecraftian references, and indeed it is said that the very tones and melodies of the music itself are laced with uncanny alien vibrations, sewing confusion, madness, and above all a tendency to dance. Take, for example, their album Cthulhu Strikes Back, finally re-released after being suppressed and buried for years. First released in 1996, sold out of two pressings, critically acclaimed and yet as rare as any tome of secret knowledge, Cthulhu Strikes Back strikes back in Autumn of 2003 courtesy of Divine Industries.
