Your New Favorite "Song."

With all the talk of Satan and all I thought I'd give you some Satan for real. This track comes courtesy of A. A. Allen -- actually, he didn't give me permission, but you folks know what I mean: if you like what you hear, seek out the CD. (Other Allen recordings, including videotapes, are available online as well.)

The album, credited to the A.A. Allen Miracle Revival Ministries, is entitled Crying Demons and is out on the Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God label. No, it's not his label, but Allen did sell these recordings for $3 a pop until they all burned mysteriously in some warehouse fire. One of the most popular evangelists of his time, Allen is one of those people credited with the creation of the televangelist movement; as you see in his biography in the link above, there's even a Philippine connection!

Anyhow, I thought you folks might like this track -- to quote the album's subtitle, it's an "Amazing Recording[s] Of Demons Speaking Through People Who Are Possessed By Them." It doesn't matter, quite frankly, whether you believe it's a real exorcism or not -- it's both inadvertently silly and, most important, quite creepy at the same time.

The mp3 is 22 minutes long, but I've reduced the quality to mono and a low bitrate so it's a more manageable 5 megs. (The original source material was scratchy vinyl anyhow.)

Hear it. (5.04 mb)
