About David Thrussell

David Thrussell is a poet trapped in the body of a hillbilly. Or a hopeless romantic hidden in the twisted frame of a dark electronic musician. Late at night Thrussell fantasises that actually he lives next door to Hieronymous Bosch in Medieval Europe and has hallucinated the whole dreadful modern era while suffering from acute ergot poisoning. We are not entirely convinced that this is not the case. The world knows him (if it knows him at all), as the creator of a seeming multitude of obscure recordings (Snog, Black Lung and Soma among others) and film scores. He has written previously for Wax Poetics, Fortean Times and numerous other publications. Listen to book reviews and commentary by Thrussell here: youtube.com/@TheForbiddenBookClub. The 30th Anniversary Remastered Edition of Snog's Lies Inc. has just been released, see lightarmoureditions.bandcamp.com/album/lies-inc-30th-anniversary-remastered-edition

[VIDEO] Forbidden Book Club EP04: ‘The Final Secret Of Pearl Harbor’ by Rear Admiral Robert A. Theobald
Massed Japanese naval forces launched a brutal surprise attack on the U.S. Fleet anchored peacefully in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Almost 3000 U.S. sailors died tragic, ugly deaths that day: trapped in their capsized and submerged tombs, hundreds spent days slowly suffocating to death. The attack shocked the world and launched the United States into WWII. But what if everything we have been told about Pearl Harbor was a lie?

[VIDEO] The Forbidden Book Club EP03: ‘Death Object: Exploding The Nuclear Weapons Hoax’ by Akio Nakatani
He argues that the entire post-WWII / Cold War paradigm of imminent nuclear annihilation is false, insisting that by the propaganda of Cold War hysteria the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki should still be nuclear wastelands whereas they are, in fact, evidently, today flourishing metropolises.

[VIDEO] The Forbidden Book Club EP02: ‘The Sacred Mushroom & The Cross’ by John M. Allegro
Scandalous, career-ending and out of print for almost 40 years, John M. Allegro's 'The Sacred Mushroom And The Cross' might at first sound like the work of a fringe scribe or even madman. Allegro, however, was a widely respected scholar and one of the official team to first translate the Dead Sea Scrolls. The premise of the book ignited a firestorm upon original release in 1970

[VIDEO] The Forbidden Book Club EP01: ‘The Adam & Eve Story’ by Chan Thomas
Classified by the CIA in the 1960s, this incredibly rare book tells of Earth's cataclysmic history: massive earthquakes, murderous floods, death (at an unimaginable scale) and perhaps the date of our impending doomsday... Written by Chauncey Powers Thomas, an eminent scientist who worked on secret anti-gravity technologies and UFO-inspired research for the US Government, what is the true history of this remarkable book and what can we learn from its truly shocking conclusions...?
