* Much of Current 93's and David Tibet's work has heavy eldritch-apocalypse overtones. ''Black Ships Ate The Sky'' and The "Inmost Light" Trilogy in particular.
** The spoken lyric to ''I Have A Special Plan For This World'', written by horror author [[Thomas Ligotti]], has several references to these, the most blatant perhaps being the "sardonic spirit" that [[Hannibal Lecture|speaks to the narrator about death]]...or [[Omnicidal Maniac|the narrator himself]], depending upon your interpretation.
* [[Blue Öyster Cult|Blue Oyster Cult]] is very fond of including these. Their entire ''Imaginos'' album plays with it and the song E.T.I. (Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) offers these lyrics:
{{quote|"I'm in fairy rings and tower beds/Don't report this three men said/Books by the blameless and by the dead/King in Yellow, queen in red...all praise/he's found the awful truth..." }}
** The song Harvest Moon from their ''Heaven Forbid'' album features the following lyrics towards the end:

* The title track of Vektor's Black Future album seems to deal with an entity akin to this that also acts as [[The Virus]] and a [[Lotus Eater Machine]].
* Pretty much everything by Internal Suffering either has something to do with one of these or messing around with magic related to them.
* Being heavily inspired by ''[[Event Horizon]]'', the storyline for [[Luca Turilli|Luca Turilli's]]'s ''Prophet of the Last Eclipse'' seemed to be going in this direction. The demons could likely qualify, as well as [[Humanoid Abomination|anyone]] touched by [[The Corruption|The Black Portal]], though [[Dark Is Not Evil]] in the latter case. And if Riders of the Astral Fire is any indication, those are only a warm up for what's coming. Unfortunately, the sequels never happened.
* In the Talking Heads song "Air", the very ''air itself'' is an Eldritch Abomination. Wow. "Air hit me in the face. I run faster and faster...into the air. And I say to myself, 'What is happening to my skin? Where is that protection that I needed?' Air can hurt you too, air can hurt you too. Some people say not to worry 'bout the air. Some people never had experience with air. It can break your heart...."
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dDGHOmZaCU "Azathoth"] by Proto-Prog group [[Egg|Arzachel]], which is about the Lovecraftian god of the same name.
