HELL’S BELLS: Satanic Weddings

With the recent SCOTUS decision allowing legal same-sex marriage throughout the USA, certain religious groups have rushed to condemn this position. In contrast, the Church of Satan welcomes this landmark ruling. During our Year 50 Conclave (held this past Walpurgisnacht in Washington, DC) our Reverend Lee Crowell, who resides in Virginia, discussed his successful 2012 legal battle to be allowed to officiate at weddings, one part of his responsibilities as an ordained Priest in the Church of Satan. While ministers of many faiths typically are granted this privilege without question, Crowell—a successful attorney—had to contest the initial denial, even though […]

Magus Gilmore’s Classical Sonata-Allegro has been added to his music downloads page. In the early 1980s he wrote this piece for keyboard as an exercise in the style employed by Haydn and Mozart and then played and recorded it with a Korg synthesizer using timbres resembling Wendy Carlos’ pioneering Switched-On Bach album. It is a tribute to the great classical composers as well as to Carlos and her extraordinary works. The rough mix archived on cassette has been remastered by Warlock Gene of Vox Satanae. Those interested in Gilmore’s music and the classical style may find this a pleasant diversion.

Happy Birthday Magus Gilmore! In celebration of my birthday today I am beginning to post remasterings of my early electronic compositions. We begin with WALPURGISNACHT from 1983. This was my very first attempt at electronic music, comprised of tracks I created using a vintage Buchla patch bay synth as well as my own sprechstimme vocals. Please click here or on the image above to read more about it and download the piece. More are on the way. My deepest thanks to all the extraordinary people I know who make my life a most fulfilling experience. Your vital additions to my […]
