Dark Evil Progressive music

Only one question. If the names of the band, or the songs were something else, would you still feel the same? For example, if Pulsar's album was in French and it's title did not translate into "Halloween" or the picture in the cover would only suggest a literary something or other. would you still feel the same?

 

If you ever can, just read Matthew Gregory Lewis's book "The Monk", so you can see how someone can navigate from the sweetest of words, to the unbelievable bottom of all pits, and then some, almost within a page or two. And then wonder how it can come to an end!

 

This is, at least within a commercial ideal, the "face" of the worst. In music, it's hard, but I would think that we do "NOT" want to be intimidated by having the lyrics "suggest" something, instead of it being real.

 

As mentioned before, if you want to have an idea of some of the better written stuff in this area, Dennis Wheatley's "Black Magic Series" is actually a very difficult read that will have most of us really upset over most of it. Even I had a really hard time reading some of it. Aleister Crowley's Moonchild is the same, but he was aware that he could easily scare people, so he kept that side lighter. But his "Diary of a Drug Fiend" is massive and the best anti-drugs book EVER written!

 

There really is, to my imagination, no real progressive music that fits this description. For the most part, I would suggest that most of it is just playing with our imaginations and own fears ... and that is not what "evil" is really about! It's much more than just that!
