Shemhamforash!
For all of those that loved the
Shatner Rocks
page, I am proud to bring you the works of another would-be celebrity musician...
Anton Szandor LaVey! But, unlike ol' Willy, Anton actually does posses a few grams
of talent. (He does know how to play the keyboard at least...)
My personal favorites are the purely instrumental tracks (#1 & #18). However, if you really want to see Anton LaVey at his 'evilest', listen to track #12, Honolulu Baby. I feel myself inexplicably drawn to this tune despite my better judgment.
So, sit back and enjoy the fine musical talent of one of the most evil men to live
this century. (...running a close 3rd behind Bill Clinton and Robert Shapiro).
The following songs and descriptions were taken from Anton LaVey's
album, "Satan Takes a Holiday". All songs are performed by
Anton LaVey.
Satan Takes A Holiday (1:54) - Black metal groups have nothing on
popular American tunes when it comes to Satanic references. This song, written in
1937 by bandleader Larry Clinton, sympathetically portrays Satan as a jivin' guy
in need of a well deserved vacation. This Hammond Novacord arrangement
inspired by Milt Herith, provided an indelible stamp which led the song to be
a staple as background music for thousands of magic acts and midnight spook shows.
Satanis Theme (3:15) - This dirge was composed by Anton LeVey for the
1968 film, Satanis, and can be heard during the opening ritual sequence.
Allow the final strains of the pipe organ to fully posses you before your
holiday comes to an end and you must return once again to the cold and shallow
world above.

The entire album, as 128Kbps MP3s. My bandwidth is a little limited, so it may be faster for you to download these songs with KaZaA or KaZaA Lite. Just search for Anton LaVey... You'll find all these songs plus a whole bunch of other goodies. And if you do use KaZaA, please share these files after you download! Satan commands it!!!
Good News! I hae recently been informed that Repillian Records has just re-released this album, plus has re-released Anton LaVey's original recording of the Black Mass. You can find these and several other Satanic re-releases under their sub-label, Adversary Recordings.
And BTW… I actually have permission from incredibly cool administration of Reptilian Records to offer these songs for download. I think this makes me the only person in the world that obtained permission to offer MP3s without compensation!
