Boyd Rice, recording artist, performer, and author, was appointed Priest in the Church of Satan by the late Anton LaVey, a frequent visitor of Charles Manson, and friend/inspiration for the young Marilyn Manson. As a pioneer of noise music in the late 60s and 70s, Boyd has been known to uproot the status quo with radical and often uncomfortable propositions that has led to numerous debates with the religious right, and earned a reputation as a social demiurge. Boyd will present a chronology of counter-cultural activity and speak of his relationship with radical evil.

Quoting from a press release from Boyd's record label Mute Records, he is described as a "Chameleon par excellence, his various paradoxical incarnations include multi-media prankster and legit actor, gnostic philosopher and camp culture aficionado, uncompromising Social Darwinist and louche martini-sipping raconteur, Satanist spokesman and self-proclaimed descendant of the bloodline of Jesus Christ. ÝBoyd Rice is probably one of the only men alive to be on first name terms with both Marilyn Manson and Charles Manson."
