Lovecraftian Monster

Lovecraftian Monster is a song on the Deathsex Bloodbath EP "Golden Showers: The Very Best of Deathsex Bloodbath".

Inspiration and writing
The song was written by Sadogasm, Masokiss and Sororicide, as a rehearsal room jam based around a riff and a lyric written by Sadogasm.

The title and imagery references the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

'Golden Showers' version
The song was recorded at the Herbert Art Gallery for "Golden Showers: The Very Best of Deathsex Bloodbath".

On the band's Tumblr, Sadogasm writes:

"Caitred’s vocals and mine intertwined like lovers having hate sex. Indeed, that was my original suggestion for how we should record the song – having hate sex – however, a demo attempt resulted in Caitred’s vocals in the first chorus just being one long scream of ecstasy and my falling asleep before the second verse had started. Apparently that’s only 1:27 into the recorded version but I’m sure we must have recorded a 25-minute intro on the demo version or something. The demo came out poorly, too: Caitred’s scream of ecstasy sounds like a yawn, followed by the remark “Is that it?”. Must have been a glitch. But I digress."

Like all of Sadogasm's writing, the veracity is debatable at best.

The solo on the recorded version is played by either Sadogasm or Caitred Alabaster. Sororicide plays maracas as well as drums on the track.

Live versions
The song is a popular live song, generally augmented by the band dressing up as monsters during the instrumental section.
