- BTW, Nurse With Wound _is_ Steven Stapleton. I was unaware of the DiJ
- connexion. NWW did a sort-of collaberation with C93 as they both made
- "Thunder Perfect Mind" albums
-

-
- There have been many collaberations between these musicians. One which
- stands out in my mind is the Coil "LSD" album cover, which is done by
- Stapleton.

- You mean Stapleton sings? Weird....

-
- Stapleton is a fruit for sure. Much of his work is drug and/or occult inspired.
- (I rather like the stuff; his paintings are rather interesting as well)
- Current 93 is the current of the Aeon of thelema as declared by Aleister
- Crowley, so this group has "occult" savvy.
-
- Basically _all_ industrial "bands" i have encountered have some degree of
- knowledge on "occult" topics & often include hints in lyrics, album covers,
- song titles etc.
-
- Example: After ministry's "Psalm 69" there is a short reading from Aliester
- Crowley's "Book of Lies" (The way to succeed, or the way to suck eggs)
- which, in a roundabout "occultish" way, is telling you to go suck a dick....
-
- ANother example: Genesis P Orridge (psychic TV and Throbbing Gristle "fame")
- did a decent intro to an Aleister Crowley book.
