I absolutely love this record shop, so it was a pleasure to present the MAXIMUM POWER of THE SWORD versus THE WIZARD on the Quietus today. Dare ye enter the crypt?
It was a pleasure putting this together for @thequietus.com - I’ve long been obsessed with Crypt of The Wizard. One of the oddest, most genius labels in deep underground heavy metal (and beyond). Also a shop. And a festival.

#nowplaying Albert Ayler ‘Spiritual Unity’

Bandcamp link here: albertayler.bandcamp.com/album/spirit...

Ayler is pretty well served by BC, actually. Which is nice because I can’t afford any of the original pressings.

The Bandcamp app is so incredibly shit and confusing. In fact it’s so bad that I end up closing it and just using the (very good) site instead.

Looks like he’s starring in a ‘hard hitting, devastatingly emotive film by Alan Clarke’ made in 1989 called ‘PETER’ here.

You never hear about ‘balsa wood’ anymore. It’s like spontaneous human combustion or acid rain/‘the ozone layer’. A - bizarrely frequent- topic of 1980’s/early 90’s conversation lost to the mists of time.

Maybe this article is BS and maybe it isn’t, but the people whose replies are basically “if you believe this you’re a fucking idiot” make me feel humiliated rather than persuaded. Really not the best way to get your argument across and may explain why people prefer to believe conspiracy theories.
