Bearing The Devil's Mark: Now Available! PDF Print
Written by Matt G. Paradise   
Saturday, 17 November 2007

BEARING THE DEVIL'S MARK, the debut authored book from Purging Talon Executive Director and Church of Satan Magister Matt G. Paradise, is now available for purchase from Purging Talon.

from the back cover... "Bearing The Devil's Mark is a bold and no-nonsense treatise on the subject of Satanism -- not from the perverse pen of bitter and jealous Christians or even their pagan counterparts, but straight from the Satanic perspective itself! Through both personal observation and established fact, Bearing The Devil's Mark taps into the vein of the world's most feared religion and presents its undiluted insight on the human condition. Sex, love, politics, technology, the God religions, and more -- all brought to you by someone with over 25 years of actively living the Satanic philosophy."

and a quote from Peter H. Gilmore, High Priest of the Church of Satan...

"[Bearing The Devil's Mark] is a well-wrought and welcome volume! You emerge from these gathered musings as a starkly misanthropic curmudgeon, and your tart observations are just the proper lashes deserved by the objects of your attention. Bravo!"

Upcoming Book: Bearing The Devil's Mark PDF Print
Written by Matt G. Paradise   
Sunday, 26 August 2007
from the Preface: "...And that's what Satanism is all about: the real world. Not a world constructed upon wishful platitudes and unsubstantiated promises of life after death, but a very tangible place of potential for those who possess the intellect and the instinct to achieve excellence and happiness in their lives -- here and now! The real world doesn't care about prayers or excuses or empty posturing. Those are for people trying to escape the real world in the form of whatever type of 'running away' from reality they feel is required. As a Satanist, I have no use for such fantasy living. The 'great indulgence' of life compels me, not trudging through a dreary and deprived existence in anticipation of dying and then presumedly moving onto a realm whose actuality is more than highly suspect. Such denial and naiveté are fit for slaves. Not me."

Purging Talon Executive Director Matt G. Paradise will be releasing his first authored book, Bearing The Devil's Mark -- perhaps as soon as the end of 2007. The book is a collection of 14 years worth of work, including many of Paradise's best essays from Not Like Most magazine, a few from the long since published Poo Poo Magazine, and some new and previously unavailable pieces as well. Much of the material will center in and around Satanism, brought to you by someone with over 25 years of actively living the Satanic philosophy. Also expect an expansive appendix section with interview bits, the newest Satanism FAQ, recommended reading, crank mail, and more. Additional information, including cover art and release date confirmation, is forthcoming.

Eighth Season of SubSIN - Sept 2007 PDF Print
Written by Matt G. Paradise   
Thursday, 23 August 2007
"It's the purest use of public access television. People say it's offensive, it's in poor taste, but that won't stop us from showing it.... I think the shock value of the show is appealing. It definitely tests us on how willing we are to stand by the First Amendment."
         - Lori Murphy, Former Program Director, Channel 15

Everyone's favorite show, Subterranean SINema, will be premiering its 8th season on the week of 24 Sept 2007 on VCAM Channel 15 in Burlington, Vermont and surrounding communities within the Comcast cable viewing region. Prepare yourself for all-new episodes of video terrorism: sex, Satan, slaughter... we've got it all. But, if you're unfortunate enough to not live in Chittenden County, your next best bet is to purchase The Best of Subterranean SINema DVD from Purging Talon, containing the best from our first six seasons, a documentary on the show, audio commentaries, and more.
