LARRY WESSEL'S ICONOCLAST really captures pop culture at it's best.
LARRY WESSEL'S ICONOCLAST is epic in length but I left wanting to see more! When this film comes to your city, don't miss it!"

SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS
Synopsis
Boyd Rice may be the only person alive who's been on a first name basis with both Charlie Manson and Marilyn Manson.
His career has spanned more than three decades, during which time he has remained at the epicenter of underground culture and controversy.
'My life', says Rice, 'is a testament to the idea that you can achieve whatever the hell you want if you possess a modicum of creativity and a certain amount of naivete concerning what is and isn't possible in this world. I've had one man shows of my paintings in New York, but I'm not a painter.
Larry Wessel's documentary, ICONOCLAST is a 4 hour long tour de force, 6 years in the making; an in depth expose of Boyd Rice's life career and personal obsessions.
No mere documentary, ICONOCLAST is more of a roller coaster ride through the fevered mind-scape of one of the most controversial and unique artists of the modern age.

BOYD RICE IN ICONOCLAST, A NEW DOCUMENTARY
BY LARRY WESSEL
OCTOBER 22, 2011
KNIGHTS TEMPLAR OASIS
SALEM, MASSACHUSETTS
Synopsis
Boyd Rice may be the only person alive who's been on a first name basis with both Charlie Manson and Marilyn Manson.
His career has spanned more than three decades, during which time he has remained at the epicenter of underground culture and controversy.
Rice first came to prominence in the 70's as one of the founders of the genre known as Industrial Music and soon gained a reputation for live shows that were deemed the most abrasive, minimalist and loudest concerts ever staged (his shows regularly clocked in at 130 decibels, whereas a jet plane taking off was a mere 113 decibels). As early as 1980, he was already hailed as The Godfather of Noise Music.
Since then, Rice has extended his creative pursuits to numerous fields, even lecturing at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, despite being a high-school dropout.
'My life', says Rice, 'is a testament to the idea that you can achieve whatever the hell you want if you possess a modicum of creativity and a certain amount of naivete concerning what is and isn't possible in this world. I've had one man shows of my paintings in New York, but I'm not a painter.
I've authored several books, but I'm not a writer. I've made a living as a recording artist for the last 30 years, but I can't read a note of music or play an instrument. I've somehow managed to make a career out of doing a great number of things I'm in no way qualified to do.'
Larry Wessel's documentary, ICONOCLAST is a 4 hour long tour de force, 6 years in the making; an in depth expose of Boyd Rice's life career and personal obsessions.

Interview:uploaded by ThomasRowsell on Jun 21, 2011
Ex-head of the church of satan, friend
of Charles Manson, mentor of Marilyn Manson, descendant of Jesus Christ,
social darwinist, neo-pagan, founder of noise core, electronic pioneer
and alleged crypto-fascist; Boyd Rice's CV is as impressive as it is
controversial.
Since the mid 70's he has produced some of the most challenging and original recorded music in history. The sheer emotion, untamed structure and raw, uncompromising sounds are made all the more intriguing by the accompaniment of fascistic imagery and occultist aesthetics.
NON is perhaps his most famous music project. NON's last record, 'Children of the black sun' was released on Mute records in 2002 and tended toward the dark ambient sound of his other projects. The next record 'Back to mono' is a return to the abrasive noise of his early years and is to be released this Summer. Survive the Jive caught up with Boyd at the recent Short circuit festival in Camden to find out about the new record from NON 'Back to Mono' and Boyd's new book 'Twilight Man'
