In this Episode Alan tackles the life, legacy and influence of Magician Aleister Crowley over not only metal and black metal but over culture and history itself in the 20th century and beyond, from his early days at Cambridge and the Golden Dawn, to his covert operations in the USA and back to the Thelema Abbey in Italy, a life of debauched libertine ritualism. He also discusses his own relationship to the occult growing up and how it formed an entire generation of metal musicians.
