Musical Truth
With Mark Devlin
Crescent Arts Centre Tuesday 14 June – 8:30pm Tickets : £ 6 /£ 4
To most people , the music industry represents a source of harmless fun and entertainment . Beneath the glossy veneer , however , lies the devastating truth of who really controls these institutions , and the deeply malevolent agendas for which they ’ re being used .
Musical Truth is the culmination of his five years of research into the true nature of the industry - from dark occult rituals , to mind-controlled artists . This book shows how these agendas fit into the much wider picture of what ’ s really going on in the world , and - crucially - how the power lies with us to bring it all to an end .
Mark Devlin is a UK-based club and radio DJ and music journalist . His first book was Tales From The Flipside . In more recent years he has begun speaking about the dark forces that have been manipulating and controlling the mainstream music industry for decades , and how this ties into what is really going on in the world .
