Crowleymass is an
EP released in 1987 by the English group
Current 93, led by
David Tibet. Crowleymass originally appeared on a 12” vinyl record through
Maldoror and was later reissued in 1997 on
CD format through
Durtro, the record company owned by David Tibet. This reissue contained a bonus track titled “I Arise”.
With four songs, this record was produced by
Icelandic renowned musician
Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson and had the collaboration of guitar player
Guðlaugur Kristinn Óttarsson; former
Strawberry Switchblade backing vocalist
Rose McDowall, J. Sen and Nyarlathotep's Idiot Flute Players.
With a more
danceable orientation as compared with previous works (excepting the uncharacteristically
heavy metal-like "I Arise"), Crowleymass is considered a cult
collectible by
gothic rock and industrial
music followers.
