David Thrussell & Shinjuku Thief release ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ on Metropolis Records

Australian collaborators David Thrussell and Darrin Verhagen, performing as David Thrussell & Shinjuku Thief, are releasing ‘The Call of Cthulhu’ through Metropolis Records on June 19, 2026. This spoken-word project adapts H.P. Lovecraft’s 1928 cosmic horror novella, with Thrussell providing narration over Verhagen’s atmospheric composition. The double LP follows the source material’s three-part structure: ‘The Horror in Clay,’ ‘The Tale of Inspector Legrasse,’ and ‘The Madness from the Sea.’ Pressed on crushed bone-colored vinyl with artwork by Richard Grant, the album presents Lovecraft’s tale of an investigator uncovering a global cult worshipping the ancient entity Cthulhu. Thrussell continues exploring Lovecraftian themes following his 2025 collaboration with Flint Glass on Ant-Zen. Digital editions will follow the physical release.
