* 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.
