| Okay, so this really isn't an AC reference, but the Legendary Pink Dots have a song named "Agape" and a song named "Golden Dawn" on the same album (right after each other, in fact). Coincidence? I think not. |

On Celtic Frost's latest album "Monotheist", there is a song called 'Os Abysmi Vel Daath', and there is a somewhat lengthy commentary(for an album!) about the thoughts and inspiration that went into the song (easily one of the best) underneath the lyrics. Of course the title comes from the Liber of the same name. This is definitely a band with a reverance for Crowley, and seem to be students of the same. They are overtly Crowleyan in that they have used the Heptagram as their band logo since the early eighties, and named one of their albums (1985) To Mega Therion.
Most of the bands that profess a love of Crowley and the Occult in general are heavier bands. The use of his symbolism is all over the extreme metal scene. Dani Filth of "Cradle of Filth", for a famous example, has gone on the record talking about Crowley's influence on their philosophy. The band "Cathedral" has used the recording of Crowley reciting a Call of the Aethyr to great effect on the song Halo of Fire on the album VIIth Coming, but how involved any of them are is unknown to me. . . |

Greetings
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law
When looking around the .net to see if there was already a "preview" of Abbey of Thelema I've stumbled on Ian Gillan "The Japanese Album" with track called "Abbey of Thelema".
On a similar topic... I do enjoy Led Zeppelin a lot but most portuguese hard rock listeners rate Deep Purple higher than Led Zeppelin - not me... and Gillan was the lead singer of Deep Purple.
It seems that Crowley was also on there agenda.
Love is the law, love under will
Best regards |

Gillian may have been Jesus, but Clapton is God.

Here's a related link I stumbled upon.
http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20 ... luence.htm
Many listed here have already been mentioned but a few seem to be unique. I recall a slight variant of "Love is the Law, Love Under Will," used by a Metal Grindcore band "Carcass," in a song called "Firmhand." They merely switch the Love to Hate.

Glad to see that John Zorn was mentioned! His Moonchild (feat: Mike Patton, Zorn, and Joey Baron) and IAO are the most notably Crowley affected. If you get one or the other, pick up IAO, it is filled with many different genres and beautiful musick.
One that people do overlook (mainly due to it's obscurity) is Christian Death's The Path of Sorrows.
FIRST, this is NOT the Christian Death band that is around now, if you want to find this album, look up ROZZ WILLIAMS.
Rozz was quoted many times explaining his interest in Crowley and performance of adaptations of The Beast's rituals.
Onto the album; the Path of Sorrows is filled with references to Liber AL, Gematria, Crowley writings (an obvious one was The Book of Lies), and Kenneth Grant. But Crowley is not mentioned by name in the credits, only quick references to certain Tarot cards in the liner notes. Rozz didn't seem like he was trying to capitalize on the referencing of Crowley (like so many metal bands do, pushing the 'evil for evil's sake' motif) , but rather seemed like he had something to say on what he found.
The album can be taken a number of ways, something Rozz stressed in his work. He always kept his lyrics so you could take them any which way, allowing the listener ultimate freedom. Take apart the album, there are 10 tracks. You do the math!
Another point of Rozz Williams referencing Crowley is in one of his spoken word albums entitled Every King a Bastard Son. The composition's title is "The Beast". Though other tracks are very occult in nature, "The Beast" is the most obvious.
"...Soft blood flows in emerald starlight
Host of the labyrinth, fool or seer?
Prophet of wisdom, bathed in glory
Hour of the wolf is drawing near..."
--Hour of the Wolf
"...As I engage myself in prayer.
'Bring me through midnight to the sun!'
As I enflame myself with prayer
'Bring me through midnight to the sun!'
Everythings in motion, everything lies still
Through the veil of sorrow
And the pall of death..."
--The Path of Sorrows
If you'd like to know more about this interesting artist, check out rozznet.com or any of the other many sites dedicated to him.

All
I'd also add that John Squire from the "Stone Roses" set up a new band called the "Seahorses" and their first single was "Love is the Law". I have a tape cassette with a Mandala-like painting on the front apparently painted by Squire. The lyrics are somewhat surreal, and include:
"Now we know where we are going baby
We can lay back and enjoy the ride
Take in the sights and drown in our senses
Love is the law so take me deep inside
...
These waters run deep it's clear my little one
Blue velvet star sky not a sound
The light in your eyes the smile on your ruby lips
Tells me my lost soul is found"

I think one of the fancy 3D pictures in the cover art of Tool's 10,000 Days has a deck of Crowley's Thoth tarot cards. It's in the same picture as the pile of books (which I don't recognize, BTW). This perhaps isn't significant, but I decided to share it anyway, if only because I found it myself! 
Tool may have other references to Crowley, but perhaps bigger Tool fans than me know more about these. |

Yes, I think I should look more into Zorn. I think I haven't really heard him before, but I was amazed to find in YoTtube some of his Crowley related songs, such as "Ghosts of Thelema", with Mike Patton doing the vocal art!
Patton's Faith No More was one of my favorite bands when I was a kid, especially the albums "Angel Dust" and "King for a Day, Fool for a Lifetime". |

And there's the track 'Scarlet Woman' by Chakra, B-side of the Marabo 7" of Crowley's two poems - this one also features Kenneth Grant on backing vocals.

| Not forgetting Genesis P-Orridge's repetition x4 of "Love is the Law..." on Throbbing Gristle's first single 'United' (Industrial Records, 1978). |

As a little nightcap, a couple more from the early 'Industrial revolution' period:
The Marabo single featuring 'La Gitana' and 'The Pentagram' provided several groups with useful bits of Crowley's presence - Throbbing Gristle used a tape of the latter reading as a concert intro, evidenced by the live LP 'Rafters'; David Tibet used a loop of the line "Arise o man in thy strength..." as the basis for a track of improvised clonking on 23 Skidoo's LP 'The Culling is Coming' (1983), whilst the first Current 93 release, a 12" titled 'Lashtal' (which I believe was also the first release by J. Balance), had a snatch of Crowley intoning one of the Aethyrs as a lock groove in the A-side lead-out , also appearing in the remixed version on the back.

93! There is a now defunct Canadian Band "http://www.teaparty.com/", Jeff Martin their main songwriter and guitarist is greatly influenced by J. Page and there are numerous not so subtle Thelemic references in all their albums. They even opened for Page and Plant here in Montreal when they toured with the Egyptian Orchestra...

I believe this to be apocryphal - perhaps Michael or David could resolve this oft-quoted tale once and for all... |
