interview
Benjamin Guerry: “Lovecraft may be the sixth member of the band. It's always music first, but Lovecraft is part of the band, you know? He’s part of the lyrics, part of the concept, part of the emotion. Lovecraft is The Great Old Ones and The Great Old Ones is Lovecraft.”
December 29, 2024
The Great Old Ones is a Lovecraftian Black Metal band out of Bordeaux, France. Yes, the same place that makes that awesome elixir the world consumes like blood. The band is dedicated to stories and legacy of H.P. Lovecraft as well as the dark sensibilities of Black Metal. On January 24, 2025, the band releases their fifth full-length album which was reviewed in Metal Temple on November 18, 2024. Gary Hernandez, writer and editor for Metal Temple, recently caught up with founder, vocalist, and guitarist Benjamin Guerry to discuss the band’s love of H.P. Lovecraft, their latest album, "Kadath," and what lies in future for The Great Old Ones.

The Great Old Ones – Kadath
November 18, 2024
Metalheads and metal artists tend to enjoy exploring obscure corners of the universe. THE GREAT OLD ONES and “Kadath” are perfect examples. Great stuff for metalheads who like their fiction the same way they like their metal—dark, heavy, and highly disturbing.

review
Thy Catafalque – XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek
September 9, 2024
“XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek” is a stunning piece of Avante-Gard Metal from Tamás Kátai and his fever dream known as THY CATAFALQUE. He stays true to his vision, bringing into the fold a world of diverse musicians. The result is like a trapdoor to nature’s own subconscious. For some, it will be a nightmare; for the devout denizens of the extreme metal underworld, a delight.
review
Wormed - Omegaon
August 27, 2024
WORMED does such a great job at expressing an epic sci fi saga that is rooted in technical brutal death, but they are so much more than this. There are just so many layers to the complexities of WORMED than just mere brutal death metal.
review
Severe Torture - Torn From the Jaws of Death
July 14, 2024
All in all,
SEVERE TORTURE
are back in a big way . “
Torn From the Jaws of Death
,” proves the band has lost none of their potency and they are more than capable of competing with anyone in the scene, old or new.
review
Seth – La France des Maudits
May 17, 2024
The melodies on the album are quite enchanting. There is a stiff and thick structure of Black Metal that is augmented with a story that seems to come to life as you listen to the album. It pulls you in, throws you into the heart of the conflict, and leaves your body bruised and broken by the end.
review
Brodequin - Harbinger of Woe
April 29, 2024
All in all, BRODEQUIN have already been considered death metal royalty for some time and “Harbinger of Woe,” is only going to further cement those thoughts
review
Benighted - Ekbom
April 9, 2024
BENIGHTED have always been at the forefront of extremity and “EKBOM” further solidifies they are not going anywhere and will continue to push the boundaries.
review
Replacire – The Center That Cannot Hold
April 8, 2024
This was a majorly intense album that could turn on a dime, roar up like a mountain lion, or retreat with the skill of a mongoose. The band plays with the listener and strings them along for the ride. But every move was calculated, disguised as chaos, and their musicianship was out of bounds.
review
Merrimack – Of Grace and Gravity
March 25, 2024
Balancing Atmospheric Melodic with lo-fi brutality, “Of Grace and Gravity” is both haunting and bludgeoning.
review
Rotting Christ - Pro Xristou
March 7, 2024
ROTTING CHRIST once again prove with “Pro Xristou” they are still among the best in the scene and deserve all the credit they have received. There is definitely a renewed energy to their sound and every song offers something enjoyable.
review
Ponte Del Diavolo – Fire Blades from the Tomb
January 19, 2024
What strikes me most about the album is the sheer genre bending ability of the band. One minute, you think that you are listening to Doom Metal, and then turn the screw and another sound materialized. This was a well thought out and calculated album where the band hold no boundaries, but at its core, it is still Metal music.
review
Carnation – Cursed Mortality
January 15, 2024
“Cursed Mortality” is punishing with powerful and crushing riffing and sine-chilling melodies
review
Helfro – Tálgröf
November 23, 2023
This was a very well put together slab of Black Metal that is steeped in the traditions of the genre, but also rings with a modern flair. I have mentioned the musicianship a few times, and it is strong. The production could be better, but this is an album for purists as well as those who like to experiment a little.
review
Profanatica – Crux Simplex
November 22, 2023
The heavy bass sound is probably the best part of the album, but who needs another FWOBM band that is afraid to deviate from the norms that began the genre many years ago. Overall, nothing special.
review
On Thorns I Lay – On Thorns I Lay
November 21, 2023
For a band who has been around for 30 years, they show no signs of slowing down. They have a formula, and it works for them and for their fans. Six songs of total dread and anguish await the listener, and by the end of the album, you feel like you lost a year in your life, or on the flip side, you gained a new perspective on how to deal with things. Either way, this was a soul-testing experience.
review
Helga – Wrapped in Mist
November 21, 2023
This was a very well constructed album in the genre. The band knows when to turn it up, and when and how to let the melodies ride out. It was quite beautiful, but also dangerous when needed.
review
Autarkh – Emergence
November 21, 2023
Contemporary metal adventures, indeed. This is unique and imaginative music in every sense of those words. The backbone is impenetrable and unyielding, but the band also play with melodies like an alchemist trying to create the fountain of youth. This is an album that encompasses all that you would want to hear from the Metal genre.
review
