The occult origins of music vol. 2 - Perucchietti E.

After the success of the first volume, Enrica Perucchietti returns to talk about the link between music and occultism , analyzing the groups and artists of the 1980s and 1990s in a breathtaking essay full of documents, photographs and song lyrics.

It is in this period that video clips became widespread as a "symbolic" support for melodies. The occult contents of the texts materialize in an increasingly allusive, dark, obsessive aesthetic full of unexpected implications.

The vibratory power of the notes, the frequencies harmful to our health are used as subconscious suggestion.

The mix of occultism, music and magic also embraces cinema, opening up to an artistic union: from the influence that the film Metropolis will have on Queen and on contemporary music to Michael Jackson's video clips, from the dystopia of 1984 (G.Orwell), to the settings gothic and blasphemous by Marilyn Manson.
