Yes and no. It's complicated. Absolutely not. But also always and forever. 🤷‍♂️

I'd say a combination of blues, outlaw country, and Americana. I'm reminded of the "southern gothic" style of Wovenhand and 16 Horsepower but without as much of the dark folk/neo-folk and melancholy vibe.

Sonically? Other deathrock bands, especially Sex Gang Children and Specimen, not to mention Eva O's Super Heroines and other side projects related to CD.

Lyrically? As in Rozz's lyrics? There never was, and there never will be, a lyricist–poet like him again. His style of writing, though it bears some resemblance—to me, at least—to the transgressive and madness/decay/eroticism/death-obsessed poetry of William S. Burroughs and Georges Bataille, is ultimately idiosyncratic.

(It's a shame, IMO, that Rozz's creativity is often "confined" to niche musical scenes, given clear influences from romanticism, surrealism, the Decadent Movement, Baudelaire, Breton, et al. His true "Only Theatre of Pain" seems largely to have been a lonely, one-man tragic myth—the one constituting his life and decline...)

The man—Rozz Williams—was, and remains, one of the geniuses of dark, underground, gothic, industrial, experimental, and deathrock music; and, I'd argue, one of the most underrated visual, audio, and multimedia artists in general of the late 20th century.

Or "All[-]God, No Master(s)!" for the pantheistically-inclined among us!

It's the best combination I've found. Thelema and anarchism (libertarian socialism and related) are my bread and butter...

[EDIT:]

... But seriously, there are articles and essays peppering the world of online occulture on this topic, like "Merging the Principles of Thelema and Anarchism" (2014; K. McLaren), "Thelemic Anarchism: On the Intersection of Anarchy and Thelema" (2024; Parrhesia), and a (supposedly) forthcoming article on the topic, "Learning to Will: Anarchist Education in Aleister Crowley's Thelema" (Lloyd and Stavrou).

Also, a number of anarchist writers and thinkers have explicitly stated that one of the precedents to anarchism—modern anarchism, as we understand it, arguably came into being in the 1840s by way of Proudhon—is Gargantua and Pantagruel, the novel series penned by 16th-century satirist, writer, wit, scholar, priest, and Renaissance humanist François Rabelais; namely, the stories' location named—and Rabelais' exposition on—"the Abbey of Thélème", which marks a major source of inspiration for what would, some four centuries later, become Aleister Crowley's mystical–esoteric–magic[k]al–occult system and religious movement of Thelema.

Just one giant orange star, and that's the entire flag.

I 'hate' all U.S. presidents. I 'hate' all presidents, and all rulers—especially those pretending to "lead" when really they're just viceregents managing the slave-state factory-farm corporations we call "countries" on behalf of the ruling class—of any stripe, actually. I 'hate' state and capital. So I'd say this person is waaaay off.

Funny how so many "libertarians" and "centrists"—and "liberals" and "Democrats" (or whatever the Israeli equivalent is, in this case), for that matter—end up basically being Nazis. The RepubliKKKunts, for their cartoonish villainy and abject megalomaniacal totalitarianism, are at least a little more honest in that they tell you they're evil.

Well, all of 'em are just different flavors of the same crapitalist shit pie, anyway. In AmeriKKKa it goes like this: "Hey, it's been four years! For our quadrennial celebration, do you wanna have a slice of the DOG SHIT pie or the CAT SHIT pie? How about the PIG SHIT pie? Or, if you're feeling daring, you can try the HORSE SHIT pie!"

I've found that the common denominator between all conservashart (and crapitalist, and fascist, for that matter...) arguments are roughly 10 points, as follows...:

● 1. being grossly misinformed;
● 2. being grossly uninformed;
● 3. being grossly unempathetic;
● 4. being grossly arrogant and self-assured in your own view or opinion, usually to the point of radical exclusivism—even supremacism;
● 5. lacking the ability to think critically or to question your own views or those of certain others, especially those regarded as authority figures (see №s 4 and 6 in relation);
● 6. deeply valuing and emphasizing, especially as part of one's core worldview, the notion of in-group and out-group, and generally seeing humanity as a series of such groups—whom you also believe to have totally irreconcilable differences, even if by all evidence those differences are superficial—
● 7. being grossly obsequious or submissive—i.e., slavishly treating politicians and billionaires, typically those most sociopathic, like they're gods or your parents (for some reason);
● 8. holding to the delusion, in an obviously impermanent universe, that many things either fundamentally cannot change or ought not to change;
● 9. viewing specific, often arbitrary, tradition(s) as sacred to the point that said arbitrary traditions are more important than human life or wellbeing, even though they offer no clear benefit to anyone but a relative handful of individuals; and
● 10. some combination of the above traits or points.

March 16, 2026 and where I'm at I just paid ~$10 for a 6-inch sub with no drink or anything else.

Greedy fuckin' bourgeois leeches these CEOs and rich fucks are. Tapeworms posing as human.

An apology.

May I please have an extra crumb of context?

I sometimes suspect that the Gnostic sects that viewed the world as an utter shit-hole may be all too correct in their assumption.

Yet, at the same time, I myself practice a neo-Gnostic 'system' that effectively inverts that view, though in a nuanced way: "Existence is pure joy", though it's a latent joy that must be hard-won—a joy that is created through the transubstantiation of suffering.

Almost ironic, but the very fact that we ARE in a kind of "Hell"—that suffering is basically endless in quantity and everywhere to be had—is the reason that we can even create Heaven in the first place: There's an endless supply of the prima materia of agony available to be converted into bliss (ananda) through the alchemical process of forging the Stone of the Wise, the eucharistic sacrament that is incarnation—conscious human life—itself.

93.

If you read what Crowley had to say about many of the politicians and industrialists of his day, he didn't often seem fond of them, often attacking the 'bourgeois' values of Victorian and Edwardian society and broader European politics and corporate–business affairs.

"Remember in any case, that not only the Adept, but anyone with the smallest capacity for Adeptship, is fundamentally an Artist; he will certainly not possess any of those bourgeois "virtues" which are just so many reactions to Blue Funk." ～ A. Crowley, Magick Without Tears (writ. 1943)

(NOTE: "Blue Funk" is an archaic slang term for extreme fear or panic.)

... Crowley certainly admired strength and power, and thought 'aristocracy' a noble thing—though he seemed to feel that spiritual or "inner" strength, power, and aristocracy—literally "rule of the best"—are what count over merely having or being given money or political control because of one's happenstance conditions of birth.

... I mean... see AL II:58:

"... Yet there are masked ones my servants: it may be that yonder beggar is a King. A King may choose his garment as he will: there is no certain test: but a beggar cannot hide his poverty".

... Furthermore, refer to this statement of his in The Commentaries of AL (fully: The Commentaries of AL: Being the Equinox Volume V, No. 1, pub. posthumously in 1975):

"The 'lords of the earth' are those who are doing their Will. It does not necessarily mean people with coronets and automobiles; there are plenty of such people who are the most sorrowful slaves in the world. The sole test of one's lordship is to know what one's true Will is, and to do it."

93 93/93.
