The Peaks of Thok - Unknown Kadath
Overview: The Peaks of Thok is an ambient offshoot birthed from "Entombed" on the previous TS album. It explores more super dark and cavernous mounds of sound. the original name of the project was Vale of Pnath, but there's already a band doing that. The Peaks of Thok are a mountain range in H.P. Lovecraft's Underworld and everything from the project is a reference. The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath is a Lovecraft work based around the dream cycle. Another Frownland cover
Not gonna do track by track tbh, it's all about the same
Each track is titled Dream Quest as another reference to the book, and every subsequent Peaks of Thok release would contain one.
Sound and Style: it's a quiet and minimalist exploration of deep, dark, and brooding atmosphere. Incredibly huge in a contradictory "empty" way. Ghastly tones and unsettling distant moans.
But How?: The Peaks of Thok's material is all field recordings, modulated to death. Not gonna lie that it is super simple and replicable, but no matter.
Artist's Verdict: Good quiet down music, not exciting but it's not supposed to be.
