Beatles honor Satan, lay the foundation for death metal bands to come.

The Beatles honor Aleister Crowley ( Popular Satanist ) by including his face on their Sgt. Pepper's album. Crowley is on the top row, 2nd from the left.


In 1965, Paul McCartney and the other Beatles were honored by Queen Elizabeth with an MBE (Member of British Empire) medal. Afterward, laughing, they boasted that they had smoked marijuana in the Buckingham Palace bathroom before the ceremony. An act of frontal offense to the honor they would so shortly receive. The British people responded with shock and protest. Some former recipients of the honor even returned their medals to the Queen, saying they did not want to be in the same company with these shameful rock stars, icons of rebellion and drugs. The Beatles had already released their album glorifying psychedelic drugs, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band,” dedicated to known Satanist Aleister Crowley. One month after the album’s release, they once again shocked the world by announcing publicly that they were taking L.S.D.
