Ego Likeness – Blasphemous Horrors
For those of you who are fans of the spooky Lovecraftian stuff you see in my comic, you might like this stompy darkwave band and their related artwork. Here is an excerpt from their newest project with Weird Tales:
Every once in a while, you stumble across a kindred spirit. A strange, twisted, perfectly demented kindred spirit. Here at Weird Tales we had that pleasure this March, when we met the musical ensemble Ego Likeness: an electronic dark-rock duo out of Baltimore comprising vocalist/lyricist Donna Lynch, who has a second life as a weird horror novelist, and composer/instrumentalist Steven Archer, whose second medium is visual art. Archer had just decided to dive into a challenging new project: producing an original piece of Lovecraft Mythos-inspired artwork every single day for an entire year. When he showed us the first batch he’d completed, we were more than excited — a major new artistic force was about to hit Cthulhu culture, and we knew the Weird Tales community had to see this stuff first.

Here is what Ego Likeness sounds like:

I remember seeing them once at the Batcave. They were very good. Alas, I did not have the cash for a CD at the time.
