quote [ The species has been named Websteroprion armstrongi. This honours Armstrong, who collected the material, and bass player extraordinaire, Alex Webster of Death Metal band Cannibal Corpse, since he can be regarded as a 'giant' when it comes to handling his instrument. ]

I can see why he's linked to Lovecraft, that's a very similar story to one Lovecraft would write. From gratuitous racism to primordial monsters.

Apparently they were frequent correspondents. The racism is ridiculous even if a bit more nuanced than Lovecraft's. He actually got better a bit better about it as he got older which some think was a direct response to hearing how ridiculous it sounded in Lovecraft's letters and perhaps wondering if that was the way he himself sounded.
