1972 - Aphrodite's Child - 666 (The Apocalypse Of John 13/18) [FULL ALBUM]

666 (subtitled The Apocalypse of John 13/18) is a double album by Greek progressive rock band Aphrodite's Child, released in June 1972 by Vertigo Records.

A concept album, of Biblical passages from the Book of Revelation, 666 was composed by keyboardist Vangelis and lyricist Costas Ferris.

The central concept is a countercultural interpretation of the Book of Revelation, in which a circus show based on the apocalypse performs for an audience at the same time that the real apocalypse takes place outside the circus tent, and at the end the two merge into one.

The concept for 666 was created by Vangelis and film director Costas Ferris, who served as the project's lyricist. Ferris cited as influences the nonlinear narrative style of the films Intolerance, Rashomon, Citizen Kane and The Killing.
