book

UK based publisher Cult Never Dies recently announced the expanded edition of “Secrets of My Kingdom”, the book originally written by Norwegian visionary artist Mortiis and published in a highly limited form in 2001.
 
“Once I got over my personal hang-ups about the Era 1 material, and started reissuing portions of it, I felt that the time was right to start work on a reissue of the "Secrets Of My Kingdom" book. Cult Never Dies had approached me about a reissue a couple of years ago I believe, but I wasn't quite ready at the time”, recalls the godfather of dungeon synth.

Ian Fraser Kilmister (24 December 1945 - 28 December 2015) - known to the world as Lemmy - was more than just the driving force of Motörhead. Renowned for his skills as a raconteur and philosopher, he was first and foremost a musician and innovator whose love of music led to his involvement in numerous projects beyond the scope of the band he formed in 1975.

Hawkwind was one of the most groundbreaking rock bands to emerge from England in the late '60s whose improvised theatrical stage performances, DIY costumes, and larger-than-life stage presence earned them a cult-like following that persists to this day. And now the exhilarating story of Hawkwind's most crucial years is about to be told. “The Spirit of Hawkwind 1969-1976”, available everywhere on October 30th, is the first ever behind-the-scenes look at the meteoric rise of this motley crew of space rock hooligans as told by one of its captains, co-founder and saxophonist Nik Turner.
