  • Mystic Tape Deck successfully funded production of this 50 Page illustrated full color book and companion 16 song CD via Kickstarter in 2019:

    www.kickstarter.com/projects/mystictapedeck/mystic-tape-decks-magical-musical-mythology

    The book is a collection of reprints of several recruitment pamphlets issued by an underground musical/spiritual cult known as the "Cloak Of Nazili" in the early 1970's - complete lyrics with full color plates of original artwork by PS Perkins.

    This edition serves as the minerval guide to the Cloak, a mere introduction to the the world of and beyond the confines of one of the world's most underground, elusive and bizarre hermetic cults. A basic cosmogony and foundation of the surface mythology is cryptically laid out for eager believers and bold adventurers alike. A fusion of reality and fantasy, a "megafictional" blend of myth and fact that at once seeks to explain not only our current place and predicament as a species, but how we got here, and where we might be headed.

    What secrets will the next installment hold?
    What new strange and esoteric truths are waiting to be revealed?

about

The Shining One carries out an elaborate plot for revenge against those he blames for killing many of those close to him.

lyrics

Hold them down, hold them underwater
It’s the season for a trial,
It’s the season of denial
It’s hunting season
And we’re drunk on rhyme and reason

We haven’t seen you in church lately
We haven’t ordered a search lately
We haven’t boiled you in oil lately
And you’re still naked in the woods

Let’s see if this one floats,
Let’s see if this one bleeds when we slit its throat
Let’s hear this one beg,
Let’s see if this one hops when we cut off one leg

Hold them down, hold them underwater
They speak the language of a slave,
They don’t know how to behave
It’s hunting season,
And we’re drunk on rye and treason

We haven’t killed you for sport lately
We haven’t sued you in court lately
We haven’t burned down your house lately
And you’re still naked in the woods

Let’s see if this one floats,
Let’s see if this one bleeds when we slit its throat
Let’s hear this one beg,
Let’s see if this one hops when we cut off one leg
Let’s see if this one chokes,
We’ll fill it’s lungs up with smoke
And jam a rubber ball in it’s fucking throat
