Probably everyone here knows this but back in 1994,. writing the song "Shoggoths Away" I believe it was Jordan who suggested we crib Ozzy Osbourne's "alright now, won't you listen? oh yeah" from the Black Sabbath Song "Sweet Leaf." heard at about 2:08 youtu.be/kjg1qSAX4B8?...

This drawing by Chris Woods appeared in one of our CYBER-CTHULHU CALENDARS back in the 90s. If you missed it then you can get it (colored!) as part of Nick O'Gorman's comic adaptation of THE TEMPLE here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/tha... as well as certain other Cthulhoid bonuses!

Your regular reminder

One of the mods for Fallout 4 was called Musicians Mod. It brought back Three Dog from Fallout 3 and included Thickets shirt designs, songs, and a certain quest-giving band member who was definitely NOT a cannibal, voiced by singer Toren Atkinson www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mod...

Thickets adjacent: This comic adaptation of HPL's The Temple can get you a poster of singer Toren's painting Cthulhu & His Greasy Spawn. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tha...

The 90s were a weird time

Band member profile! Warren "Comfortable" Banks is a founding member of the band and plays a Gibson SG. He hails from Abbotsford BC. Not many people know that he can draw a mean Cthulhu in Jack Kirby's style, and when I find that image I'll post it here!
