October 23, 1997: Harlot the Witch | Cusco - Michael Holm
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
Art Bell welcomes Michael Holm, the musical genius behind Cusco, live from Bavaria, Germany, to discuss the creation of Apurimac 3. Holm describes how he composes melodies while riding his horse through the Bavarian countryside and how visiting buffalo in Colorado inspired one of the album's centerpieces. Listeners call in to suggest Polynesian and ocean themes for a potential Apurimac 4.
The second half takes a sharp turn as Art interviews a self-described satanic witch named Harlot. She claims to be a fourth-generation practitioner from a bloodline that made a pact with the devil during a period of starvation generations ago. She describes her mission as spreading evil, destroying families, and infiltrating churches while secretly worshiping Satan. She states she fully accepts eternal damnation and feels no remorse.
Art presses her on the logic of choosing a side she admits will lose. Harlot responds that Satan seeks vengeance, not victory, and that her purpose is to inflict maximum damage on God's creation before the apocalypse. The broadcast draws intense listener reaction from both supporters and critics.
