Mystery Saint versus The New Occult Rock Part 1 (Cosmic Fear) ELECTRIC WIZARD


It being 4/20 it's a perfect day to talk about ELECTRIC WIZARD. After all, they have an album called DOPETHRONE and lyrics like "Saturnine in my mind, got to find a way to be free. Saturnine in my mind, blow another hit of weed." ELECTRIC WIZARD; the acid fried hippie chaingang of Golems breathed into life by Charles Manson in a basement and raised on a diet of Black Sabbath, greasy chips, rubber tire hash and those little white cross pills all-night truck drivers take. I don't think they care what I think and I heard their next album is going to be called LEGALIZE DRUGS AND MURDER so you know what side they are on. The Night Side.


Time to light a jazz cigarette (you know what that's about!) and drink some coffee, get the mind ready for the music, it's going to be dark and trippy. If EARTH is the Apollonian; quiet, contemplative, cerebral and in repose side of the Occult Rock equation then ELECTRIC WIZARD is the Dionysian; wild and ecstatic side, the dark score for dancing off into the forbidden places.

Hymn to the Gnostic Godess (The Ash Tree)


(DISCLAIMER- This is a new and loose translation of Roy Bowers "The Ash Tree", if you like it thank Roy if you don't you can blame me...)
I am what you think I am
I am what you think you are
I am myself as I am and you as you are
And will be in times to come
I am the all and more of that with less
I am without form
I am without force
Yet form and force I am
I am the lover and the Beloved
I am the beast and his mate
I am the whole and the part
I am compassion healing pain
I am a diamond cutting stone hearts
I am a mirror gone dark
I am the well without water
From which all must drink
I am words of love that never speak
I am pain and tears and sorrow and grief
The rack, the noose, the gun, the stake
The hunter and the hunted

Mystery Saint versus The New Occult Rock Part 1 (Cosmic Fear) EARTH

A magickal influence can be seen more and more in the world of pop culture and media and art. Mad Men shows us how poetry (the magick of Thoth) can influence people to spend money (time) for things they don't need. We are inundated with Television shows and Films about the fauna of the territory of magick; vampires, shape-shifters, demons, angels, gods, aliens, zombies, maybe even ourselves from the future. It's been going on in the world of rock for a while too. When you call an album Angels of Darkness/Demons of Light and title it's first track Sigil of Brass (a sigil is a stylized symbol used to contact a spirit) you're definitely speaking the language of magick. The aforementioned album is by a band called EARTH, helmed by guitar virtuoso Dylan Carlson, known in some circles to have been a close friend of Kurt Cobain, some say actually present when Kurt purchased his last shotgun...
