Just a thread of music to listen to...

Always my go to Halloween song......By my favourite ever band.

I remember Throbbing Gristle, but I've never heard this before.

Yes, she left the Church of Satan, denounced Anton LaVey, and joined the Temple of Set, the rival Satanic group led by Dr. Michael Aquino, back in the '90s. It was a bitter departure (and quite the Satanic soap opera) with Zeena claiming her father was a charlatan and placing a curse on him which she claims led to his death. LaVey loyalists (like Boyd Rice) quickly distanced themselves from the Schrecks and badmouthed them at every opportunity. Nikolas and Zeena sorta fell off the radar after that, keeping a low profile and not doing any more public appearances except for an odd appearance on the Bob Larson show sometime in the late 90s. 

Nikolas Schreck is now a Buddhist and denounces some of his former beliefs esp. the Nazi occult stuff he was interested in, though he still has an ongoing fascination with (and soft spot for)  Charles Manson. He wrote a book called The Manson File that claims the Manson murders were mob related hits. I'm not sure what Zeena's current beliefs are but both she and Nikolas are apparently performing music again after years of inactivity. 

These guys (Nervous Gender) were considered America's answer to TG ...or something like that. 

From L.A. circa 1981....

Interesting interview. "Same old Zeena", in some respects. She's a Sethian but also a Buddhist. Hmm. That kind of spiritual mishmash confuses me. Her comments on America and capitalism are spot on and are pretty much similar to my own views on the subject. I remember an interview she did for The Fifth Path, an underground music fanzine, back in the early 90s, where she said something along the lines of America being a "cursed land" that's ultimately doomed to failure because of the genocide (of Native Americans) that occurred here.

What I liked about her father was that he was unapologetic in his views and never changed them, he remained a Satanist right up until the end, whereas with Nikolas and Zeena there's constant change.
