I believe you. I was listening to this guy who used to be in the LA metal scene back in the day recount some experiences he had messing around with that dark stuff. He was in a band with that German singer, Mandy Lion. I think they were called Trick or Treat, or something like that. Guy telling the story was the guitarist. He said that they’d been together for a few weeks or days and things weren’t really clicking for them. They took a break at practice and he and the bass player tried this dark, satanic…thing or ritual. Kinda like a seance or something like it. Don’t know specifics. Don’t wanna know. He said that after they did that and came back from break, they wrote something like three songs back to back then and there. Things started to “click” after that, but that there was a dark presence surrounding them from that moment. Fast forward a few months and they were supposed to play this showcase gig for some record guys, and Lion didn’t show up. The band folded after that. Guitarist said that he ran into Lion years later and asked him why he bailed. Lion said that he couldn’t put his finger on it, but he felt there was dark, satanic stuff surrounding the band and it freaked him out. That was why he’d bailed on them. Interesting story, for sure.
Take of it what you will. I believe that stuff is real. Not to be messed with.
