THE GREAT OLD ONES (FR)

Post-black/dark metal | Established 2011 | FR | Facebook

Do you recall THE GREAT OLD ONES? This French post-black/dark metal quintet from Bordeaux, which, as its name gives away, draws significantly on the “weird fiction” of H. P. Lovecraft, joined us in 2016, and it was the first visit not only to our festival, but also to Czech Republic as such. Last year, TGOO presented primarily their then current album “Tekeli-li”, though included was also their debut “Al-Azif” and even a preview of their upcoming third full-length “EOD: a Tale of Dark Legacy”, which was released this year, hence it shall the focus of their show next year. This conceptual album, which stands as a direct sequel to Lovecraft’s iconic story “Shadow Over Innsmouth”, solidified the band’s reputation as masters of unique dark compositions, as well as underscored their rapid rise to fame. And since there is never enough cosmic horror, we are delighted to welcome TGOO once again to the roster of MGCDF, and we hope you will not miss their return!
