The Magick Theme

Wild Beasts - All the King's Men
There have been several cool songs coming from the indie rock world that use visual and lyrical imagery straight from Crowley and Hermetic tradition. Here are a few of my favorites.


This one starts out slow and tame, but gets pretty odd near the end. It isn't as dark as some of the others, but more introspective.

The Klaxons - Magick
This one is directly based on Crowley's writing. It is a cool electronic interpretation.

Apparently these limey douchebags don't like having their video embedded...

!!! - Must Be the Moon
What starts out as a hipster house party soon devolves into some sort of ritual with knives, chalices, and sexual frustration. The un-idealized Crowley :)



Old School: Shriekback - Nemesis
This is a great video from an underrated band.This was 1985, so you have to forgive the melodramatic poses pointing offscreen. This was during Madonna's Material Girl tour, 13 years before she dyed her hair black and hired Chris Cunningham to turn her into a flock of crows.
