Episode 11: Hardcore Hare Krishnas & Punk Monks

from Mystical America · host Isaac Hill

On tonight's episode of Mystical America we'll dive further into the connections between music and mysticism in the United States. The hippies have had their fair share of convergences with religious groups, but did you know that the hippies mortal enemies (punks) have also gotten on the God train? In this show I discuss two strange stories of Punk and hardcore kids turning to religion and rejecting the values of the material world. From straight-edge Hare Krishnas making violent music in service of their beloved avatar, to the stoner metal maverick who created a punk zine with Eastern Orthodox monks, this episode will take you on a ride through the heavier side of mystical music. Pull out that battle jacket and that shitty guitar, it's time time for Mystical America.
