Music and the Occult have ancient ties; from rituals to vowel shapes. But why is there such a separation in popular music now?
Not so long ago, in the 2000s, there wasn’t - but it was so well hidden from plain sight because the musicians in the band didn’t want to worry people. They thought the album was cursed.
This is the story of how stumbling into the Occult changed a band’s album, cursed their work, ruined their recording sessions and shaped one of the best occult musicianship stories. While also making an album that shook the world.
An exploration on The Mars Volta's journey, an old Curio store and talking to three trapped spirits in an ouija board.
** Please note that the first 12 minutes are skippable **
** Due to the sound, the throat singing and beginning part isn't audible. This becomes better once the music and introduction has finished **
The introduction was created by myself.
Please consider signing up to watch a more formal version of this livestream come Monday 4th May 2026.
