The Satanic Mass: Recorded Live at the Church of Satan is the first released audio recording of a Satanic ritual, recorded in 1967 at Church of Satan headquarters, known as The Black House.[1] The album was originally released as a vinyl LP on LaVey's own label, Murgenstrumm, in 1968.
Side one of the album features an audio recording of the baptism of LaVey's daughter, Zeena. Side two features excerpts from the then-unpublished book, The Satanic Bible, recited by LaVey over the music of Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner and John Philip Sousa.[2]
