1) A depressive black metal band from Tennessee, USA, which released Funeral Pyre, an untitled demo and Laments of a Dying World split. Currently active.

2) Japanese Nyarlathotep was formed in 1993 by Makoto Fujishima (G/V), Daisuke Hirata (B/V), Jun Yamamoto (D/V), Hiroshi Tomita (G/V) to play avant-garde death metal. At that time, they were almost beginners, so they didn't initially release any work. In March 1994 all members except Makoto left the band.
