Radio Werewolf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Radio Werewolf is a 1980s deathrock/gothic rock band that appeared on compilations such as Krypt's American Gothic in which their song "Buried Alive" appeared.

Nikolas and Zeena Schreck are the directors ("Alpha Male and Female") of Radio Werewolf, characterized either by fans or the Schrecks themselves as "a long range experiment in the use of sound and symbol as magical influence on the human psyche." Conceived in 1984 as "an occult broad-casting network, a transmitter of hidden and forbidden frequencies into the airwaves of thought, it is intended to conjure ancient and forbidden forces of the past into the future utilizing the awesome power of modern technology on a vacant, media-saturated culture, thus tapping into the darkest hermetic regions of the mind."

Among Radio Werewolf's media appearances was a notable 1987 appearance on Tom Metzger's Race and Reason public-access television program, in which Nikolas Schreck and Evil Wilhelm spoke at length with an often nonplussed Metzger about the band, the "mortals" to whom Radio Werewolf's members were vastly superior, amd the fact that the band did not constitute, nor had any involvement with, a church of any kind (as the baffled Metzger repeatedly suggested). Nicholas Schreck also appeared on the Wally George's cable-access television show in 1983 as a proponent of Charles Manson, advocating Manson's release from prison as a political figure. This appearance was prompted by a video released by Schreck named "Charles Manson Superstar" which features personal footage of Charles Manson taken at the prison he was housed in circa 1982. Rumor has it that the footage was taken by Schreck with a smuggled in video camera.
