If you’re a longtime reader of this column you know very well how much we love our spooky-themed instrumental compositions here on Monday Magick. You probably also know that these instrumental tracks are often quite extremely lengthy. And while today’s entry, “Energy Fools the Magician” from avant-garde Pop musician, composer, and[…]
Behold rocket ships, cloaked cultists, space crocodiles, a cosmic egg, and the “invivisble face” of the universe in the new video clip for Austrialian Psyche-Rock outfit King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard’s “Invisible Face”! “Invisible Face” is from the super prolific group’s 2016 LP ‘Nonagon Infinity’, which is out now[…]
This week’s Monday Magick entry, like many before it, is inspired by events that are currently occurring in my life. Recently, lacking a magickal partner and feeling as if I’m not practicing my magick to its fullest potential, I was struck by the desire to convert part of my home[…]
I’m still getting back into the swing of things after our brief hiatus, so this week’s Monday Magic entry is something easy and not too deep that most readers should be familiar with. It’s “Magic”, a 1974 single by Scottish quartet Pilot that has been a staple of Classic Rock[…]
It’s not every week that I get to profile a song that is a touchstone for nearly all of my peculiar occult interests, but this week’s Monday Magick will allow me to do just that! See, I am pretty obsessed with the goat-headed hermaphrodite demon-god of transformations known as Baphomet.[…]
This week’s Monday Magick is a very special entry in honor of the Labor Day holiday. That special song, “The Great Work”, by Belgian Prog-Rock outfit Hypnos 69, comes from their 2010 LP ‘Legacy’. Normally Monday Magick entries are classics from yesteryear which I’m already familiar with, or more recent[…]
I will be the first to admit that the occult bona-fides of this week’s Monday Magick entry are questionable at best. But let me explain why I chose to feature “Eye in the Sky” from UK-based Prog-Rockers The Alan Parsons Project’s 1982 LP of the same name before you go[…]
This week Monday Magick indulges in some head-nodding goodness in the form of a breakbeat classic well known in beat digging circles. “Sorcerer of Isis” from Detroit four-piece Power of Zeus, from the band’s 1970 release ‘The Gospel According to Zeus’, an oft-sampled slice of psychedelia, is that “from the[…]
This week sees Monday Magick make its return after an absence due to stifling heat and not feeling like posting last week. This entry also sees the return of a previous Monday Magick featuree, Thelemic bluesman Graham Bond, who penned this week’s choice cut, the Aleister Crowley-inspired “Love is the[…]
This week’s Monday Magick entry is a massive tune from one of the most celebrated, not to mention most sampled, Jazz keyboardists of all time, Bob James. And while “The Golden Apple”, from James’ 1975 LP ‘Two’, isn’t necessarily one of his most sampled tunes, it is one of the[…]
Imageyenation dandies, Athens, Georgia Indie-Pop outfit of Montreal, make their second Monday Magick appearance this week with “Enemy Gene”. Taken from their tenth studio album, 2010’s ‘False Priest’, the tune features guest vocals from Alternative Soul/Pop singer Janelle Monáe. The impetus for my posting “Enemy Gene”, an uptempo, dreamy number[…]
This week’s Monday Magick entry, “In Ancient Days” by Black Widow, was inspired by a brief mention of the band alongside occult-rockers Coven in Peter Bebergal’s new book on popular music and the esoteric ‘Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll’. The tune comes from the[…]
