occult music/satanic ritual recordings?
 
I was wondering if there are any albums that contain sounds from Satanic rituals... or music that is meant to be played while conjuring demons... I'm just looknig for really, really evil, dark, weird stuff... not black metal or anything.. I'm looking for evil chants and beating on skulls and shit.

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 07:42 AM

Okay, just found this band http://www.hexentanz.us/hexentanz/

They play music on human banes and on ancient instruments with arcane chants steeped in cult traditions. They use a kangling (human thigh bone flute), records, pipe chants, random experimental noises, electronic voice phenomena recordings, and the band members' own distorted chant vocals... it's a soundtrack to a medieval witch's gathering.

So, yeah, more stuff like that :)

The doors?

I dunno haha.

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 07:44 AM

Actually, anything especially dark with dark origins... like Lustmord's Heresy for example (low-frequency recordings of tombs and whatnot)... just list anything evil. Not cheesey-evil, not black metal, not Sunn O)) or anything, I'm talking really evil and dark things.

I'm sure you know some, Everyneurotic.

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 07:44 AM

haha the doors have a happy organ, man.

metgumbnerbone
vivenza
moevot
autopsia

i like smoking pot, turning the lights off, and reading anton lavey with a flashlight while listenin to shit like this with headphones

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 07:57 AM

Sure, I've never heard of any of those artists, so that's definitely a start. Thanks!

Basically, I just want to be exposed to lots of dark music I've never heard of.

ZEROpumpkins 07.31.2008 08:14 AM

Totally sampling this shit.

MellySingsDoom 07.31.2008 08:33 AM

A lot of Tibetan ritual music uses stuff like thighbones, and is very powerful stuff. Not "Satanic" - in fact, probably better than "evil" rituals.

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2008 08:55 AM

have a look on the cold spring records website

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 08:57 AM

Hybryds

gualbert 07.31.2008 10:03 AM

Hybryds?
The belgian new-age band with dolphins on vocals?

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 10:12 AM

thank you all.

DOLPHINS?

matt g 07.31.2008 10:16 AM

This is dark music, not tribal or occultish, but very interesting

Lustmord is amazing.

Coil, Nurse With Wound, Death in June are all very pagan/occult, but the ultimate for this is CURRENT 93.

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2008 10:59 AM

what was that record that came out in the 60s that was suppposed to be based around a recording of a satanic mass, or something like that? does anyone know what i'm talking about?

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 10:59 AM

?!!!!!!!

No but that sounds perfect.

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 11:00 AM

I bet Porky knows.

Yeah, "The Satanic Mass" put out by the Church Of Satan. I found the cover for it at work, but the record was missing!
I'll photograph it today and put up the pic.

atsonicpark 07.31.2008 11:56 AM

ohhhhhh!

Derek 07.31.2008 11:57 AM

Derek 07.31.2008 12:02 PM

he's really avant-garde and stuff he makes mewant to blow my brainsout due to the intense avant-gardeness

Thank you for this thread.

Here's an AMG review of Comus' First Utterance:

Comus' first album contains an imaginative if elusive brand of experimental folk-rock, with a tense and sometimes distressed vibe. Although there are elements of traditional British folk music, there's an edginess to the songwriting and arrangements that would be entirely alien in a Fairport Convention or Pentangle disc. At times, this straddles the border between folk-rock and the kind of songs you'd expect to be sung at a witches' brew fest, the haunting supernatural atmosphere enhanced by bursts of what sound like a theramin-like violin, hand drums, flute, oboe, ghostly female backup vocals, and detours into almost tribal rhythms. All of this might be making the album sound more attractive than it is; the songs are extremely elongated and fragmented, and the male vocals often have a grating munchkin-like quality, sometimes sounding like a wizened Marc Bolan. The lyrics are impenetrable musings, mixing pastoral scenes of nature with images of gore, torture, madness, and even rape, like particularly disturbing myths being set to music. It's been reissued on CD, but here's one case where you might want to get the LP reissue (on Get Back) instead, as it comes with a bonus 12" of three songs in a similar vein as their rare 1971 EP.

Very good album.

do you like the Incredible String Band?

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 01:31 PM

That Comus album is one of my favorite LPs of all time, but it's not an LP with direct ritual-occult applications as its intent.

The Anti Group (or TAGC) made some recordings for ritual purposes. There's another one I can't remember that came out on cassette only where all the instruments were human bones. I'll have to consult my friend who has that one, since the name escapes me. I can see the cover in my mind too; drives me crazy when that happens.

I'm sure there's a recording from around that period of a satanic ritual performed by the occultist Alex Sanders. I've never heard it but it does exist apparantly. I've had a look for it but not found anything. If anyone has this and can upload it, or knows where it might be on the interweb, I'll be eternally in your debt. It may well be the same thing that Savage Clone mentioned.

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2008 04:11 PM

i thought that comus record would blow my mind but i've listened to it a few times and i don't like it really.

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 04:19 PM

I can't remember where I put that damn sleeve!
Looking...

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 04:29 PM

Found it.
 

 

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2008 04:38 PM

i'm not sure if that's the one i was thinking of

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 04:40 PM

Are you thinking of the electronic LP "Black Mass Lucifer?"

Got that one too; several copies in fact.

Also the private press Wilburn Burchette LPs "Guitar Grimoire," "Occult Concert" and "Music Of The Godhead" from the early 1970s, which I first found out about via Mutant Sounds.

I know but...I always think of cults when I listen to the doors. Just the way my brain works I guess.

Florya 07.31.2008 04:55 PM

Some of the early Coil stuff was pretty ritualistic. 'The Angelic Conversation' is one that springs to mind. Also Vagina Dentata Organ's 'Music for Hashishins'.

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 04:58 PM

"How To Destroy Angels" by Coil is straight-up ritual music intended for the "accumulation of male sexual energy."

I was thinking of Coven - "Witchcraft Destroys Minds And Reaps Souls" there's a track of satanic chanting on there apparently.
Here:

download the LP here http://sharebee.com/0d2b3699

Savage Clone 07.31.2008 05:41 PM

I've found three copies of that Coven LP so far. Too bad they pretty much sound like Jefferson Airplane most of the time. The cover is amazing though.
