You know what? Everybody is talking about Azathoth awakening and the universe coming to an end but there's something scarier: *Azathoth starts lucid dreaming.*

[@adaisychain4azathoth]

Holy shit!

[@wumbology1017]

No Azathoth starts having a wet dream

[@stephenjay2209]

He can't lucid dream. At least, not as we understand it. He is the center of all madness, a creature in the heart of every atom. An infinity of selves, looking back upon itself. He is effectively trapped in an obscene universe where order and Euclidean geometry attempt to impose itself on the chaos he sees as the natural order. His lucidity is madness and entropy incarnate, experiencing all states of matter, dimension and time simultaneously. We would not survive it.

[@RobertLocksley385]

No.

[@JamesRileysRipeRaspberry69]

*I still see your shadows in my room*

[@nerowolfe736]

When the skin of the world finally peels off, boys and girls, be ready for what's underneath.

[@jasoncarto]

Everyone ignores Azathoth and talks about Cthulu because even as a fictional being they cannot wrap their minds around Azathoth.

[@muffinauraisin1171]

Around 29:00 is my favorite part, it's basically the song keeping Azathoth asleep, the vile drums.

[@Omegashatter26]

It kinda sounds like, what I find is the best description, the calls of some kind of alien whale beast. But it's only a whale in such a way that a Star Spawn is a squid beast. And then it keeps going. And then there's a heartbeat, but only in the way one considers the roar of waves as a purring kitten.

[@muffinauraisin1171]

+Der Ritter You call it a whale beast, but if we stay true to Lovecraft's work, we should simply assume it to be something we can't imagine. Even if we had seen it, we wouldn't be able to comprehend it, and insanity would ensue. P.S. I like to think the creatures coming from Lovecraft's univers are beings that, unlike everything on earth, don't consist of the same atoms and compositions that we do. Being from another universe, our laws don't apply to them. Just like imaginating a diffrent universe where a specific law of physics doesn't apply, we can't understand how it might be. (Sorry about that, it's just the way I like to think of The mythos, thought it might be interesting.)

[@Omegashatter26]

muffin auraisin I kinda know most of this already. Also, the creatures from The mythos don't come from another universe, they just exist in more dimensions than we do (well, the Old Ones and Outer Gods do at least. The rest are just really weird aliens.) Hence the M.C. Escher-esque architecture that you usually read about in his stories.

[@muffinauraisin1171]

+Der Ritter I thought men of science already assumed that we only had 4 dimentions, and that only something from another univers could have more, but i might be wrong.

[@Omegashatter26]

muffin auraisin certainly, in the case of real life science. But we aren't talking about real life science, now are we? In the context of the Mythos, advanced technology is capable of simulating magic, the Old Ones are "only" highly advanced alien life forms, and God is an insane and idiotic being that has to be kept sleeping lest he destroy reality. When talking about the Mythos, just forget about what 'We' know.

[@derpyallan1435]

0:57:00 The last five minutes of this video... I can't explain how much I love that part))) Or maybe a little: Deep, scary, endgame thoughts. End of the line...

[@pierre-clementpointon9187]

I feel the same. The end of the road, when joy and sorrow meet

[@jesus0707921]

A máster piece

[@usmh]

It sounds like revelation to me. Something new appearing, which changes the whole world. That and end of the line are certainly not mutually exclusive.

[@jasoncarto]

It's like diving headfirst into an infinite ending.

[@javierrico3616]

I felt exactly the same. It is like fall down into the abyss but reaching transcendence at the same time.

[@CryingZombie666]

The beginning sounds like all of realities rumble and crumble when the Daemon Sultan, the Nuclear Chaos, the Creator and Destroyer, Lord of All Existence, finally wakes up and thinks of cosmic coffee.

[@James-he7bu]

Hmmm . . . Cosmic Coffee!

[@zacharydaly5328]

Don't talk to me until I've had my morning reality coffee (long sip) you may now speak

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

With how massive Azathoth is, imagine how big a cup of coffee it would need to drink.

[@daxican]

The last 7 minutes of this track are magical. It feels like I'm being taken on a journey through space and time, seeing everything that ever was and that will be, before it is all whisped away into nothingness

[@Yggi11]

This is eerie yet somehow also oddly relaxing.

[@ett32g]

+Yggi11 fear and want are kin to one another

[@MrKykus1]

I actually use this for meditation music, along with a lot of stuff from cryo chamber

[@Voidliife]

Every listener says this about black ambient. Your not special.

[@ett32g]

Scratching implies a surface, what do you hear when the face scratches you back.. Underneath there always lies secrets. Information to be heard, not read. Feel it first with dread, not with the head. Deep in the swallow, if consumed by the follow, where I am not and I have forgot. The gates opened and barriers lost Never again can there be here.

[@blackandwhite5682]

+Dman ehat does it mean......?

[@BurningSunBloodyMoon]

+Dman Doesn't mean anything - dreams (or the lack thereof) do not have a meaning. :P

[@mattdeveau6890]

+ArthasTheCoward I write to music like this and the Azazoth and Cthulhu collabs in particular happened to give me some ideas after I listened to them in an almost meditative type state. I just kind of let my mind wander visually in context of what I'm writing and see what comes of it. If I see something I like, I take note of it to use later.

[@breadtoast1036]

People forget the main point, we the readers are azathoth. When you sleep and experience a moment of a dream, whoa to say we aren't just remembering a portion of an entire universe we created. To us we were just sleeping but to the the beings in our dreams it was their whole life. Madness and chaos is infinite wherever azathoth manifests. Whos to say our dreams only seem random and strange only because we became lucid enough in that exact place.

+Herman Quiahuitl DONT SPREAD THE WORD!! This is totaly ok .. I dont want 15 year old kids walking around with Azazoth or Cthulhu Shirts Not even knowing what the fuck Azazoth is.. So leave what cant be understood exactly there where it cant be seen my friend

[@Keishi6]

+Gaizertv You are one obnoxious individual aren't you Gaizer. No hostility meant and all but you are very close minded. Don't be a hipster and spread the word now, it's not like most of those " 15 years old kids " would enjoy this kind of ambient music anyway.

[@Gaizertv]

K ei of course they wouldnt. but because of "going against the stream" they will just simply do as they love h.p lovecraft. do you get my point? .. :D please dont call people names like "obnoxious" throught the internet. the internet is a large dark place

[@classless11]

I think I will make it a habit to listen to this music before going to sleep. Very relaxing.

[@peppyhare8458]

your the man to set the mood while I write, expect a thank you if I ever get published.

[@Arthaslepeureux]

+peppy hare What kind of stuff do you write ???

[@peppyhare8458]

I finished the book, sent off 10 different query letters to agents about a week ago, will be sending more next week, it's a historical fiction, written in diary entries, surrounding the events that occured at the villa diodati in the summer of 1816. it was the date and place that Mary shelley drafted frankenstein and john polidori created the Vampyre, the first modern interpritation of vampire folk law. My book follows a girl who visits the villa diodati in the present, findining by accident a large red half burned book, which is the diary of the real Dr Victor frankenstein, along with it she finds a vial of green Liquid with tranformative and galvonistic properties. we then follow the girl walking in victors footsteps, unearthing the true story of the villa diodati and the origin of the green liquid. so bassically think of a more modern book version of Hammer Horror and that's what I'm going for lol, oh and re-animator as well, I've only seen the movies of that though lol

[@Arthaslepeureux]

+peppy hare Can I have a autograph ???

[@peppyhare8458]

if it ever gets published I will send u a free copy and an autograph lol, the query process is long and tedious... hence why I fire them off 10 at a time. the usual time to hear back from agents and publishers is 3 to 6 months by mail, and 2 to three months by queries sent by email.. :/ after that publishing/distribution and editing takes about 9 months to a year :/

The Azathoth series (especially this part) is, in my opinion, the best of the tributes to the Great Old Ones. It's dark, crushing, and moving just like many of the other ones but this particular chapter is very coherent and flows along well. Cheers.

I never comment..... But I have written two screenplays just listening to the Cryo Chamber.. Thank you.

[@Chinaboatman]

Out in the mindless void the daemon bore me, Past the bright clusters of dimensioned space, Till neither time nor matter stretched before me, But only Chaos, without form or place. Here the vast Lord of All in darkness muttered Things he had dreamed but could not understand, While near him shapeless bat-things flopped and fluttered In idiot vortices that ray-streams fanned. They danced insanely to the high, thin whining Of a cracked flute clutched in a monstrous paw, Whence flow the aimless waves whose chance combining Gives each frail cosmos its eternal law. “I am His Messenger,” the daemon said, As in contempt he struck his Master’s head.

[@warzoned1]

Cryo Chamber creates real quality stuff ! I'm greatly enjoying all my purchases - CD box sets from Band Camp. Always beautiful gothic and well thought out packaging - far above the boring cheep graphics and packaging of the main-stream music I've bought. I'm looking forward to expanding my Cryo-Chamber library. Think I'll buy this one next.

[@daxican]

Gosh, the last 5 minutes of this track are beautiful. Gives off a real mystical vibe

[@jasoncarto]

Its the moment before wake-up. When all the sentient powers that be in all realms face final oblivion saturated in the knowledge they were simultaneously both meaningless and part of something greater. As the dream ends and the eyes of eternity open, for one instant too brief to even fathom, we will all be remembered and felt. Like ascending. For that one brief moment we will have tasted eternity. Before we are lost. Bitter sweet ending. Those last five minutes are the moments before.

[@emptyshellaxiom]

Azathoth is the answer to the Fermi Paradox. Where are all the intelligent civilizations in the universe? Hunkered down on their planets in terror, going "SSSHHHHHHHH!!!!!" WE'RE the idiots beaming "I Love Lucy," "The Gong Show," and "The Voice" out there...toward...HIM...Lovecraft tried to warn us...actually, now that I think of it, Azathoth may find US appealing...attractive...delicious...blind idiots who think we are gods...or know some good ones...

[@bhic4]

That ending perfectly captures this : Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity - the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

I did not have a good time meditating to this one. To much artificial, and sadistic darkness and torment for me. I'll try to see what I feel tomorrow.

[@higgsboson5741]

i was reading some articles about debates regarding azathoth (yes very redundant i know) and i am absolutely blown away at how little people understand about this monstrosity. I read one person say "if other gods have the ability to keep azathoth asleep by playing music, then he isn't omnipotent". but the problem with that argument is that those bangings of vile drums and accursed flutes are doing nothing to keep azathoth from waking up, it is never directly stated that the music is actually preventing him from waking up. the frequent debates and even more frequent misunderstandings of how azathoth works proves just how well he was written as an intangible, incomprehensible God so far beyond human idiocy that we could never even understand how he works even on a fundamental level.

[@jasoncarto]

Azathoth is the only being in any mythology i would put above the rank of a God. The very concept is so beyond its horrifying in its mystery alone. That all things simply exist as an unintentional by-product of azathoth dreaming. That in an instant as azathoth awakens, all existence ends. Thats so far beyond anything we have ever conceptualized has ever taken us.

[@scvnthorpe__]

(Final stretch of music) The torches flicked on in the central balcony of the old temple, and a glowing amber essence bled from each navigational point to the central altar. Ancient grimoire pages seemed to swirl around, materialising and disintegrating in a manner similar to the burning of flash paper reversed and then played back. With each page the imprint of a sigil was left behind in the burning, and a column of them seemed to build to the sky. The sacred drummers which kept the altar sealed began to fade as an infernal organ joined them. The altar table was then divorced from its topside, which slide to the side releasing a new surge of power to the building mass of energy. But above all, some sort of crude telescope appeared to invite use. In the distance, the ocean appeared to wince before subsequently being torn through by a rising mass of overgrown, putrid rock. Spiral staircases could be made out just barely, and that pungent smell of deep ocean seemed to outshine it. The sunken citadel of Sulaimun had risen again, after all these aeons. Will this save or destroy humanity? The full neccesity of the act would be appreciated with time either way.

[@Gaizertv]

What if i tell you that Azatoth while a sleep had manifested himself into a human body and is living among us. What if i tell you that we are creations in a dream of Azatoth What if i tell you that if Azatoth awakens we are all gone.. just like that.. ? ..

It's an imagination sparking concept. If he dreamed himself as a human among us what would he be like? What job would he want? College? Would we notice something strange?

[@dividedreality9708]

Nyarlathotep it may be. He can be anyone, anything, and anywhere. He is aware his word alone can bring upon the very end of existence, but chose to meddle with the very strings of humanity because he seeks enjoyment out of doing so. You'll never know. Deities, powerful figures throughout history..the list can go on.
