Personal favourite from this area is Gerogerigegege's collage-like works where there can be samples of old music, band instrument noise and then some electric and vocal bursts. The bursting phallic creativity and dynamic play of noise is well captured on some of their records. For example Senzuri Power Up and All You Need is an Audio Shock, the latter being mostly electrical bursts and vocals which seem to express the absurdity of sexual frustration. I don't listen to noise much at all nowadays as it gives me tinnitus so easily and I don't see it worthy of such side effects.

This song seems to be some sort of an epitome of the much dissed "Matrix era" black metal. A brave choice. Still I must appreciate the following tantric epiphany there:
"Can the relapse of spasms
Be the rhythm of this dance?"

As a child born between the 80s and the 90s I can find surprisingly lot of resonance to grief from the record Circuses and Bread by The Durutti Column. Especially with this version with the couple first and couple last tracks: selected picks 1 & 2. However lacking I find the lyrics, the tones and melodies speak to me of the times when the doors opened to an innocent place of childhood in this world.

Ahh...so they are still active. I have the vague recollection of attending their gig here in Oulu in the late 90's. I might have been in a suitably "blessed" state of bodymind then. Anyway, the lyrics of this ditty don't seem awfully removed from the SoA approach unless I am much mistaken once again.

I'll counter with this...perhaps not just dealing with the Anima in the Jungian sense, but deeper/higher concepts besides. Some of those could even begin with the letter "a", as well.

And...this Gorgoroth classic has been mentioned in the past, but I think it bears repeating. A rather nice little tune with not-quite-correct English, adding to its overall charm.

This...a bore or a wit - lyrically speaking. Salomean or not.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable request. Iä Baphomet...the Magic Mirror...the oracular ἀκέφαλος mystery which remaineth & giveth even after it hath been depleted. Fnord.

Brasilian popular music about Hermes Trismegistos with warm vibes? Don't mind if I do

We need more of that laid-back happy-pappy occult music!
I rather enjoy Aghora's output. Technical esoteric Hindu/Vedic metal or something resembling that. Also sounds quite "positive" at least to me. Well, in terms of truthfulness it beats this.

In this series of more or less occult/esoteric music and lyrics, this side-project of Tool.

I've been breaking some old preconceptions and attitudes and earnestly enjoyed German power metal and, of all bands, HIM.
