Getting close to Halloween, so I thought I should pick something creepy; this one certainly ticks that box.
Any time BÖC combines their music and theatrics with some great author's work it always ends seemingly epic. They utilize H. P. Lovecraft's short story of the same name, but instead write it from the antagonist's point of view, which Eric Bloom crushes it with his vocal delivery and is able to bring the malevolent soul Charles le Sorcier to life.
