PIC INFO: Spotlight on the seemingly "unhinged" man shown on the front cover art to the self-titled 1991 debut album by UPSIDE DOWN CROSS, a man none other than infamous British occultist Aleister Crowley who is posing as the Bodhisattva Hotei.

IF YOU EVER DECIDE TO KILL FOR SATAN, THEN, LET THIS ALBUM PROVIDE THE SOUNDTRACK.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on Boston DOOM metal band, UPSIDEDOWN CROSS and their self-titled debut LP, released in 1991 under the Taang! label. J Mascis (ex-DEEP WOUND, DINOSAUR JR.) provided drumming on the album.

"The UPSIDE DOWN CROSS record is one of my favorite records I’ve ever played on. I was flirting with real punk rock. Those guys were serious degenerates — not like anyone I’d ever met. I’d previously played a gig with Gerard and G.G. ALLIN, which was a similar experience but also not so great. It seemed good in theory, but when you’re on stage and he’s shitting… it’s just not that pretty. Maybe I’m not as punk as I thought I was. But with UPSIDEDOWN CROSS, I just went there and recorded and didn’t hang out with the guys as much, so it was a great experience. I loved the record too."

-- J MASCIS on his UPSIDE DOWN CROSS participation, Stereogum interview, c. 2021
