- "At the Mountains of Madness" is a musical interpretation of the H.P. Lovecraft novella of the same title. It depicts the ruins of an ancient alien civilization, the Old Ones, discovered in Antarctica by a group of university scientists. The deserted city is incredibly vast and built entirely of large, cyclopean structures. As they explore further, they find detailed sculptures and bas-reliefs depicting the history of the Old Ones, their arrival to Eart, and their eventual demise. When they reach the depts of the city, they encounter a remaining "Shoggoth," a terrifying monster created by the Old Ones, which chases them out of the city and back to their airplane. As they fly away fleeing for their lives, one of the explorers witnesses a final terror out of the plane window, which is so horrifying, it drives him insane.
