Archives of Evil - "Satan Takes a Holiday (Instrumental)" Performed by Anton LaVey

From LaVey's performance collection of forgotten songs comes the title track, "Satan Takes a Holiday." Originally written in 1937 by Larry Clinton, the album's liner notes describe the song in this manner:

Black metal groups have nothing on popular American tunes when it comes to Satanic references. This song... sympathetically portrays Satan as a jivin' guy in need of a well-deserved vacation. This Hammond Novachord arrangement, inspired by Milt Herth, provided an indelible stamp which led the song to be a staple as background music for thousands of magic acts and midnight spook shows.

The album also includes a version with vocals by none other than Magistra Barton. Watch for that, coming soon.


Hail Satan!

What I'm here to tell you is how by observing Kevin McCallister I have come to realize he is, in fact, a natural-born Satanist (the LaVeyan, not Christian definition) in the ways of individualistic non-conformity and self-preservation. It's not even subtle. Come, we have much to discuss. Righteous Anger. First, the original Home Alone . We see from the very first sc...
