about

One of my regular audio gigs is doing cleanup and mixing work for the fine people at The HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast (www.hppodcraft.com). One of the hosts of that show, Chad Fifer, got the crazy idea to do a dramatized audio reading of "The Colossus of Ylourgne" by Clark Ashton Smith. The story is completely bonkers, and is about a necromancer that raises hundreds of dead bodies into a giant undead golem, which he uses to terrorize a countryside in medieval France. Chad asked me if I wanted to write a short metal theme for the colossus, to which I replied, "oh, okay."

It's not every day that a perfect gig falls into your lap.

I cranked out a rough version in about half an hour and he loved it, so I cleaned it up a bit and here it is. It is absolutely not meant to be taken seriously, but it still turned out heavy as hell. I hope you enjoy it, and you should DEFINITELY check out Chad's audio dramatization of "The Colossus" (also available at hppodcraft.com/2021/06/17/the-colossus-chapter-one/). Also, read the original story if you're at all inclined to; it really rips.

KEEP THE WORLD (even medieval France) METAL!
