It opened its doors on the last Sunday of each month when its eclectic members would be treated to a range of performances that were sometimes bloody, often blasphemous, very sexual and occasionally dangerous but never dull. Performed by members of the all female collective known as the Satanic Sluts for the delectation of Satan each night was a true evocation of Hell.
Shown here are edited highlights from each Black Mass, including scenes of crucifixion, defiled nuns, sacrifice, voodoo, cannibalism, Nazi Go Go dancers, vampirism, satanic cheerleaders and a real Black Mass! "Black Mass revives the true Satanic Spirit" - Gavin Baddely (UK Church of Satan)
