Satan Takes a Holiday
Anton Szandor LaVey
“Even the devil needs a little revitalizing recreation now and again. LaVey here applies his kaleidoscopic vision to conjure forth occult musical treasures, sending them out into the ethers, to haunt and delight us. With his background in classical, burlesque, circus and roadhouse styles of playing, LaVey uses modern synthesizer technology for illegal purposes—to evoke feelings. Every number LaVey plays—from Sousa march to child’s lullaby—is carefully chosen as a potent brew of major and minor chords, lyricism and prosody, and then supercharged to its most lusty interpretation. All of the instruments on this recording are played by LaVey on his keyboards, performed without benefit of computer sequencing. Satan has little use for digitalized downloading or pixilated processing. The murky, deathless halls of Tartarus resound with songs of suicide, strained gaiety and unreserved romance. Dim the lights, settle back and let His Infernal Majesty take you on a holiday tour of His world…”
