Welcome to My world... Presented here for your viewing pleasure and contemplation, are several lists of recommendations utilizing the sources available on The Devil's Web. This is not a complete list, but does comprise a sizable compilation with recordings I have had in My personal collection that I have found to be either musickally, aesthetically, and/or ideologically valuable to differing extents in one form or another.

This is provided for entertainment purposes, and is not intended to reflect Satanic philosophy in all respects, but instead contain artistic expressions which may be theatrically inspirational.

Here are a few multimedia suggestions that I have found to be sources of entertainment, inspiration, & in some cases, education. Some may be difficult to find at more popular book & record stores, so you may wish to search for these titles, as well as listen to samples on Real Player @ Amazon.com & Yahoo Music; Reel.com, Internet Movie Data Base; or Barnes & Noble. Otherwise, a perusal to privately owned bookstores & record shoppes will turn up some great results.

Whatever the case, sit back in the shadows of darkness, enjoy your favorite philter, and experience evocations sublime...
