What if I told you the band set to play at Crocus on 3/22 before this Central Asian cell of C I A proxy jihadists stormed the auditorium is a Russian prog rock group called Piknik that weave alchemical & Greco-Egyptian hermetic imagery into their lyrics; sport Slavic runes on their collars; have an official sigil that evokes the Monas Hieroglyphica; speak of their concerts as “ritual theater”; dress the stage w/ props & costumes like magical automatons & plague masks; and whose lead singer is seemingly influenced by Aleister Crowley’s AA, Thelema, & the arch-magus’s love of everything Egyptian?? Would you then take the idea 3/22 was a mass ritual more seriously?
