Legendary Occultist ALEISTER CROWLEY Gets Remixed By Dark Electronic & Witch House Artists For A New Release!
As one of the foremost scholars on the occult and mystical arts, Aleister Crowley has engendered a legacy far beyond his years of study at prestigious British universities in the early 20th century. Perhaps because Crowley was much more than just an intellectual spectator. He also dabbled in magic himself, was a poet, a painter, and writer who drew inspiration from the spiritual realms and made a profound impact on world culture. So, it’s not surprising that artists and musicians have been drawn to Crowley’s work and inspired by his legacy for almost a millennium now – from The Beatles’ using his visage on the artwork for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band to Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page well-known collection of Crowley memorabilia and Ozzy Osbourne’s own tribute to “Mr. Crowley” on his 1980 Blizzard Of Ozz album.
Now an eclectic group of electronic, rock and industrial artists have gathered to remix some of the only surviving recordings Crowley made, the historic wax recordings from 1910-1914, all featured on the brand new release Black Magic. Using those tapes as raw material, these artists have conjured up all new sonic masterpieces, breathing new life into Crowley’s words. From witch house icons Ritualz and ∆aimon to internationally renowned instrumentalist Jozef Van Wissem and space rock supergroup Hawkestrel, Black Magic is a truly unique and thrilling release!

The album also features an all-new denoised and remastered collection of the wax recordings. Black Magic will be available everywhere on all formats including digipak CD and a deluxe gatefold 2LP set with PURPLE vinyl!

Also be on the lookout for a full-length biopic on Aleister Crowley, directed by The Cordero Brothers, with a screenplay based on the infamous Boleskine House where Crowley practiced black magic rituals and became the center for a series of sinister supernatural occurrences. The house was later purchased by Jimmy Page.
