Nightmarish Sculptures of H.P. Lovecraft�s Terrifying Cosmic Entities


�Lovecraft Tormented� wall sculpture
Like many of you oh-so-cool Dangerous Minds readers I am a collector of a great many THINGS. From records to books and a slew of action figures, my house is a mini-museum full of cool THINGS. I also happen to know that a number of our regular visitors to DM seem to have a thing for anything that associated with the great American horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. Which leads me to my post for today which features a number of intricate sculptures depicting some of Lovecraft�s eldritch entities such as �Dagon,� a creature that first made its appearance in Lovecraft�s short story of the same name from 1917; everyone�s favorite octopus-headed cosmic being, �Cthulhu�; Pickman�s model, and the nutty Nyarlathotep among others. I�m just aching to bring a few of these critters into my own menagerie of mayhem�

Some of the sculptures in this post are available for purchase. That said they are not cheap�specifically that magnificent wall sculpture �Lovecraft Tormented� (pictured at the top of this post). That puppy will run you a cool $1288. Several toy companies have released sets of Lovecraft�s monstrous nightmares and when they do, they sell out pretty fast, so if you see something in this post that strikes your fancy, get it now before it�s sold out and selling on eBay for bigs bucks. I�ve included some handy links for you to do just that under each available piece below.

Dropkick Murphys: 'We Aren�t Doctors, But We Can Play Music and Deliver a Message of HopeThrough Our Songs'

Image
Much of the band's latest music directly addresses the causes closest to them including the rampant opioid epidemic ravaging New England and the recent presidential election Dropkicks Murphys are a rare breed. Boston�s pride, the Celtic punk rockers are kicking off their third decade as a band, with their famous flame of passion showing no sign of dwindling to a flicker. It�s burning more fiercely than ever, frontman Al Barr and guitarist Tim Brennan tell me, as we slump into leather sofas surrounded by guitars in London�s Gibson Studios. It�s impossible to separate this six-piece from their fans, so much so that new song �Blood� from their upcoming ninth album 11 Short Stories of Pain and Glory is a homage to the mutual respect and dedication they share. Unlike many contemporary bands, the Dropkicks do not rely on radio airplay to get their music heard. They have shifted over four million albums globally, fan favorite � Rose Tattoo � has racked up over 24 million hit

Daughter of Jock Scot Remembers 'Rebellious' Dad Who Could Silence a Crowd With His Words

Image
POPPY Chancellor is among loved ones hailing the musician in a documentary filmed two weeks after he was diagnosed with the cancer that claimed his life.  IRVINE Welsh and Billy Bragg hail him as a hero. Shane MacGowan was one of his closest friends. His romances with singer Neneh Cherry and actress Anna Chancellor made gossip columns, as did his friendships with aristocracy. But few outside of the post-punk music scene know much about poet Jock Scot. Yet his family and friends says his influence on music, literature and the arts was extraordinary. For Poppy Chancellor, his daughter with Four Weddings and A Funeral star Anna, he was just dad � albeit a rather unusual one. Poppy spoke out as a documentary about her father�s bohemian life � from meeting Ian Dury and The Blockheads and following them to London to becoming a performance poet and opening gigs for the likes of Joe Strummer, The Pogues and The Libertines � is being finished. Keith Allen, Jock Scot, Neneh Cherry and G

Rise Above: Will Donald Trump's America Trigger a Punk Protest Renaissance?

Image
The underground hardcore punk movement � led by the likes of Black Flag, MDC and Minor Threat � flourished during the height of Reagan�s presidency in the 80s. Composite: Getty Images & Malcolm Rivera Since the election, the Kominas have been getting the same curious request. The east coast punk band keeps being asked, by film-makers and documentarians, for a Donald Trump protest song. �People just assume we have an anti-Trump song already recorded,� says Basim Usmani, the group�s bassist. In the weeks preceding and following the election, musicians, fans and critics have discussed and debated the idea that Trump�s impending presidency could inspire a new movement of politically charged protest music. So it�s no surprise that the Kominas, a South Asian American band whose discography includes provocative statements like Sharia Law in the USA, would be called upon for a musical reaction to the president-elect. �It�s been hard to deal with,� says Usmani, whose band recentl
