Hello,

I like H. P. Lovecraft and I also like prog. So, as you can guess I want recommendations of prog music that are inspired by Lovecraft's works, using Lovecraftian themes, or that are directly about Lovecraft and/or his prose.

I know and love THE STORIES OF H.P. LOVECRAFT: A SYNPHONIC COLLECTION

...and also: Infinite Spectrum - Haunter of the Dark.

P.S. You can also recommend non-prog stuff, as long as they are not extreme metal.

Thank you.

I'm not really sure but if you like horror you might enjoy the music of Goblin. Many of their albums were used as soundtracks to horror movies. Also, the director John Carpenter composed music that I'm guessing has an eerie feel to it. I know that's not what you are asking for but I can't think of any HP Lovecraft specific prog or music. 

Another one that is pretty damn heavy....I used to like some of their stuff but ...I'm too old now ;)

Of course there is H. P. Lovecraft...an American psych rock band from the late 60's....

Also, this used to be my answer phone answering message (from the same band, not inspired directly by Lovecraft): 

From Mexican avant-prog group La Música de Erich Zann:

Gatto Marte's Azathoth:

Was going to mention SHUB NIGGURATH - mandatory listen!!!

I'll finish (for now...) with Pickman's Model, a little vignette from The Utopia Strong:

BTW, Dr Wu, great call with "The Old Gods Return", an absolutely stunning song! BOC's entire Imaginos album was also heavily influenced by HP Lovecraft's work.
