I agree that Lovecraft was a key influecence, but the name 'Chthon' is not from Lovecraft. It comes from the word chthonic, which comes from khthón, the Greek word for earth.

Kell wrote an article on this very subject, though he spells my name wrong, AND the name of my website! Anyway, the link is

thanx for the link to the article, a well written and interesting read indeed.
I had never read that article before (honest!). Its also interesting that Kell mentions Giger near the end, just as i did in my post above.

If nothing else... Giger himself has named Lovecraft as an influence. In fact i first learned about Lovecraft by reading through one of Giger's art books -- Arh+, i think.
