Pagan, Occult, Wiccan, Demonic, Satanic,

I want Pagan, Occult, Wiccan, Demonic, Satanic, Evil, Dark & Doomy tracks and albums 60-70's (pre-NWOBHM & Black Metal). I want every track ever recorded in that era flirting with the evil forces. Witches, Sacrifices & rituals, little devils, evil spirits, ghosts & goblins etc...

Sophisticated or dumb. By The Carpenters or Karlheinz Stockhausen. I'm not picky. Doesn't even matter if its meant to be moralistic.

My (first one also Mystic Fred's it seems) current  obsessions,

DR. Z: Three Parts to My Soul


Madman composer/progger  Igor Wakhévitch Hathor


Fantastic childrens album Wade Denning & Kay Lande: Halloween: Games, Songs and Stories


C.A Quintet Trip Thru Hell


Mort Garson Black Mass/Lucifer



Here's a top Ten rockin' occult tracks to kicks things off:

 1  Stark Naked All of them Witches
 2  Horrific Child Frayeur
 3  Alessandro Alessandrini Devil's Nightmare
 4  Black Widow Conjuration
 5  Archaïa Le Grand Secret (I don't speak french, but this has to be occult)
 6  Comus The Bite
 7  Beggars Opera Madame Doubtfire
 8  Os Mutantes Ave Lucifer
 9  Magma Troller Tanz
10 Poppy Family Where Evil Grows

This topic is atleast 75% prog, so I'll post it in the prog lounge. Help me out here!

Oops. Seems like I posted it in the right place after all. he-heh.
 
Jimmy Page - Bobby Beausoleil Lucifer Rising

I highly recommend you to listen to Venom's At War with Satan

20 minutes of 80s' "progressive satanic music"  by the pioneers of Black Metal !


For the 70s, you have also Lucifer's Friend albums...

.Comus First Utterance.....that's a brilliant album, Rafaella, it seems to grow on you the more you hear it, some very beautiful music which has sinister undertones. I remember we had a thread on sinister "occult" music  (something of a pet interest of mine) some time ago, and some surprisingly good albums came up - well they say the Devil has the best  tunes!

I do love the dark and funny Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus from '72.

But how bout that first Jacula album?  Supposedly recorded in '69! Is it for real? The guitar sounds a lot more like '89 to me.

Interesting, I haven't heard Night Sun. The suicidal, krauty blues of Necronomicon fits perfectly.

And yep. Im mainly looking for older stuff. But I'll probably re-listen to Celtic Frost (edit: wait, last year? That's just to new) and  Venom anyway.

Name one band that is more progressive than Venom!

 Do I have to come up with all the examples myself? I don't wanna talk about who's the most progressive of Venom or Mozart.

This one's very disturbing/disturbed. First track La Faulx is as evil as music gets:

Maybe early Black Sabbath (first eponymous album) is supposed to be kind of occultism, but I don't understand much the lyrics. But I'm sure it's a damn good terrific album!

If you want Black Metal I have a lot of bands to list!

"Pagan" and "Wiccan" should not be thrown together with "Demonic", "Satanic" and "Evil". There is nothing dark or evil about them, only for a hardcore Christian.

^Edit: For the two of you over Phileas. I'm defenatly no hardcore christian, and I'm not a high-priestess of a Gaia worshipping religion either.

I know very well these terms are not the same. Being interested in all of  these things I have thrown together, is however quite common. Its a long way from Third Ear Band to Danzig, and I'm interested in everything inbetween. I'm not necessarely saying Occultism or even Satanism has to be dark or evil at all, but most musicians into it seems to think so. I'll admit I'm after the childish dark stuff, as much as your lifeaffirming pagan paths. I look for both. If you think its stupid or an insult to your beliefs, just stay away from this thread. This is not about beliefs.   

The music of Comus examplifies quite well how these forces and interests go together. This is meant to be a superficial thread, about collecting musicinfo and tracks that shares some kind of otherness. I'm a unmystical guy who wants mystical music of all flavours or whatever!
