Career
[edit]Schreck was the founder, frontman, and sole constant member of the magical musical collective Radio Werewolf from 1984 to 1993.
Schreck was a practitioner of black magic who co-led the magical school, The Werewolf Order, with his then-wife Zeena from 1988 to 1999. He worked in the late 1980s with Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey (Zeena's father), publicly speaking in support for the Church.[2] When his wife Zeena renounced Satanism, he followed suit.[3] Schreck was a Master of the Temple of Set before resigning with several others in 2002 due to religious and administrative differences. In 2002, Schreck was one of the founding members of the Sethian Liberation Movement (formerly the Storm) which is currently located in Berlin.[4]
In 1997, Schreck produced the first full-length album by British actor Christopher Lee, Christopher Lee Sings Devils, Rogues & Other Villains, which was released on Schreck's Wolfslair label.[citation needed]
Music
[edit]Radio Werewolf
[edit]Schreck founded the band Radio Werewolf in 1984. As the group's lead singer he performed theatrical ritual performances, which were billed as "Rallies of the Radio Werewolf Youth Party". The band's co-founder, Evil Wilhelm, left the band in 1988..[5][6] The band's first album, The Fiery Summons was released in 1989.[citation needed]
Schreck's then-wife Zeena Schreck served as Radio Werewolf co-director from 1988-1993, during which the band released the recordings Songs for the End of the World, The Lightning and the Sun, Bring Me the Head of Geraldo Rivera!, Witchcraft-Boots: A Tribute to the Sinatras, and Love Conquers All.[citation needed]
In 2012, Radio Werewolf's The Vinyl Solution - Analog Artifacts, Ritual Instrumentals and Undercover Versions was released by World Operations. The compact disc was the first official Radio Werewolf release since 1992, and compiled remastered version of 12 ambient tracks from between 1989-1992 as well as two previously unreleased bonus tracks.[citation needed]
