Jarboe & P. Emerson Williams Tour 2013 Updated



Playlist:

P. Emerson Williams - Det Er Stille Under Vatnet
SWANS - Song For Dead Time
Helen Money - Shrapnel
Jarboe - Mouth of Flames
Jello Biafra - Exerpts From Tales of the Trial
P. Emerson Williams - Eldgammel
Veil of Thorns - The All Goes Asunder
Jo Quail - Tu Aotearoa
Jarboe - Dream 5
Stewart Home - Sonic Chat
Jarboe - Ascending

Covering most of the fourth quarter of 2013, the incomparable Jarboe embarks on a tour with P. Emerson Williams on acoustic guitar that will literally encircle the globe. Starting as part of an incredible lineup of artists at Stella Natura: The Light of Ancestral Fires, Sierra Nevada on 9/22 and on to 16 Tons Club, Moscow, Russia 12/21. (New dates added below.)

Jarboe's current performance is melodic and honest emotional vocals with solo acoustic guitar in raw "unplugged" rock based songs. The tour features songs from the 2013 self-released DREAMS cd, as well as songs from the INDEMNITY series - to be released on vinyl in September by Burning World Records (Netherlands).

Jarboe's current set features P. Emerson Williams on acoustic guitar and vocals.


Jarboe draws from a variety of charged sources: growing up in the Mississippi delta, New Orleans street life and Mardi Gras, parents in the FBI, experimental performance, living in NYC's east village in the post no-wave scene, studies in literature and theatre, a history of critically acclaimed recordings and collaboration in Swans and worldwide concerts (clubs, theaters, art galleries, cathedrals, festivals, live radio, TV).

Her voice and music can be at turns innocent, knowing, seductive, & vitriolic - in melodic as well as experimental compositions. A primary objective for Jarboe is to close in on the gap in the audience/performer relationship. Jarboe's agenda over the course of her life has been to fine tune endurance - physical, emotional, and spiritual.

P. Emerson Williams
For many years P. Emerson Williams has been known for densely layered experimental work in the projects Choronzon and Veil of Thorns as well as for adding his unique form of weirdness to releases by Manes and as a core member of kkoagulaa. Williams' music released under his own name created for theatrical productions and silent films are marked by the same enveloping and elaborate arrangements. With the release of Det Er Stille Under Vatnet he strips away everything down to a single acoustic guitar with the occasional touch of hunting horn and chanting. What this shows is that the depth and challenge of Williams' music lies in the compositional element and performance regardless of how big or small the arrangements are. Inspired by the majestic landscape and folk music of Norway where he grew up, P. Emerson Williams wrings a highly evocative atmosphere from his instrument.

P. Emerson Williams is a multi-media artist delving in music, art, writing, and video. More people listen to the sounds of P. Emerson Williams every day than realize it, for much of it is embedded in extensive transmedia projects past and ongoing. A visionary artist and an illustrator, his work takes projects spanning physical and digital media, genres and modes of performance to strange realms. With Choronzon, Williams straddles the worlds of industrial music and black metal, electronic dance to dark Americana to pure goth with Veil of Thorns as well as adding elements of his sonic alchemy as a spice to projects with Sleep Chamber, Manes and more extensively as half of the creative core of kkoagulaa with cern.th.skei from Manes. Upcoming collaborations include playing cello on UK black metal band Ethernal's upcoming third album and subverting the nature of guitar playing with industrial noise merchants Dead Skull.

SOLD - ART: Deathless

Deathless - Acrylic Painting on rag board
P. Emerson Williams 1998
$333.00 + S&H

SOLD 

This painting was originally created in 1998 for the Choronzon Magog Agog album released by Samoth's Nocturnal Art Productions. A lifetime ago now... The imagery is derived from the track Crimson Awakening, which in turn was inspired by a dream in which Mr. Williams found himself dead on the forest floor, murdered but still lingering on the spot where his mouldering body lay.

New Release: Veil of Thorns - Para-Abnormal (2013)

Veil of Thorns - Para-abnormal (2013)
CD - $12.00 + S&H

We are pleased to bring to you PARA-ABNORMAL, the latest from Veil of Thorns as CD and download, as well as the original art by P. Emerson Williams that was created for this release.
2013 sees the release of the 13th Veil of Thorns album titled Para-Abnormal. Fans of the retro-futuristic Cognitive Dissonance and the tribal gothic fever dreams of the twin albums Necrofuturist and Salon Apocalypse will welcome the way Para-Abnormal synthesizes these disparate threads of Veil of Thorns art. This is post-punk with a defiant heart, its world decidedly dystopian but the souls dwelling hterein face this world undaunted. Cold camera eyes are on every inch, infrastructure collapsing, but the survivors are having a party in the ruins.  
The solidity and assuredness of the drums supplied by James Curcio (Hoodoo Engine, Babalon, subQtaneous) and P. Emerson Williams coaxed many strange sounds from an electric-acoustic 12 string guitar. The process of writing on Para-Abnormal was a very spontaneous one, with grooves inspiring syncopated guitar parts and lyrics the cut-up impressions of a world gone mad as any creation reflecting the current state of human affairs would have to be.  
Veil of thorns started in Boston in the late -80’s, when the number of Goth bands in town could be counted on one hand. Stark, angular post-punk songs give way to spare jazz-inflected tone poems that lead back into sanguine deathrock dust storms. Throughout the -90's Veil of Thorns gigged extensively in New England with a few revolving spots in the lineup. In the period between -94 and -98 they played on bills such bands as Cruxshadows, Judith and This Ascention. Many of the gigs included guest players and extensive improvisation. 
"...pushes the envelope, shakes up the status quo, and demands attention." -Gothic Beauty
"This is their most stylish work, but some of the thorns have an extra edge." -Mick Mercer
"This is where Rozz Williams and Marilyn Manson merge in an Event Horizon singularity." -Corazine
"...they brew up a dust storm of tight-but-loose guitar riffs and driving, nervy, drums...half way between a lament and a threat." -Uncle Nemesis

SOLD: ART - Magog Agog

SOLD - Magog Agog - Acrylic Painting
P. Emerson Williams 1998

Aye, this be Magog, and he's all agog for Choronzon. As I was painting the art for the extensive booklet for Magog Agog I was unsure as to which would end up as the cover. The title character being depicted made the choice obvious.

Most of the art created for Magog Agog are now sold, but we'll make what's left available for interested collectors. These pieces as well as many other original works of art in aid of funding several major endeavours coming up later this year and next year.

"Given P. Emerson Williams extensive track record of cross-medium and genre art over the past thirty years, it is likely he will become an underground legend.

▲ı▼ı▲ Conspire With PANICMACHINE


Forget about the speculation about Jay Z, Lady Gaga or whoever the current the latest corporate brand-as-culture creation currently capturing the imagination of the conspirasphere. ▲ı▼ı▲ are one step beyond. Not content to be Illuminati puppets, our favourite Space Witches have their reptilian hands on the levers.

First the Bavarian Siblings brought us VOICE IN THE NIGHT, a brand new EP:


Furthermore, we have been reached an agreement with ▲ı▼ı▲ to distribute MMM, their debut album and most of their public thus far.


Theoretically, an Age of Bureaucracy can last until a paper shortage develops, but, in practice, it never lasts longer than 73 permutations.
—WEISHAUPT, Konigen, Kirchen and Dummheit 
We have instituted a fully paperless bureaucracy. We're good to go through Peak Oil at the very least.
—▲ı▼ı▲, Liber ı▼ıı▼ıı▼ı 
As Illuminati Primi, ▲ı▼ı▲ serve as 3/4 of the secret organization’s executive council and masterfully and invisibly orchestrates all the world’s major events. ▲ı▼ı▲ epitomize the repressive spirit of our age. ▲ı▼ı▲ are out to capture your life energy and appreciate how generous you have been with this energy thus far. The re-animated creatures coming out of the lake might just have your face... 
The fourth Illuminatus Primus represents the eye so often left out of the triune symbol, possessed by a lloigor made by the sides of the triangle, and the corporeality into the void. If you can read this you are already jacked in as our source for this operation of Illuminati science, that of strategic biomysticism. 
Let the firefly thoughts flit in and out of the dark halls of your mind, be the dehumanized as a gilded ornaments of the Spirit of Ecstasy, a purity of essence. Dissociate, identify, hypnotize.

Just Added: Three CD's By The Mighty ETHERNAL

It is with great pleasure we bring you three of the best releases we've heard in a long time. ETHERNAL open portals to other realms and time forgotten in a balance of aggression, melody and that old black (metal) magick! 

ETHERNAL - ARKIOAS $10.00 + S&H
Arkioas:
Limited Addition Digipack, beautifully designed by Ethernal, Dan Capp and Maria Kenney. Includes a lavish inlay denoting the lyrics and symbols of esoteric gnosis contained.
Ethernal - Arkioas - adds intriguing atmospheric and progressive parts to a base of old-school black metal. Not raw and frostbitten, the production is warm, the drums are natural sounding (and wonderfully played), and the guitars have a kind of rounded buzzing sound. Catchy, almost thrashy riffing gives way to epic passages, some with clean and acoustic guitars and lots of reverb and sustain. The title track even has a long passage with clean echoing picking, that wouldn't have been out of place on an early Pink Floyd album. This is a black metal band that doesn't sound like many other black metal bands.
metalbandcamp.com/2012/08/ethernal-arkioas.html 
'“Arkioas” is the kind of album that I could happily listen to on repeat for hours (or days) on end. I wouldn’t change a thing. At all. The fact that this album has somehow made me this obsessed, enthused and excited about it in such a short space of time is a true testement to the quality of work contained on it. This is something very special indeed.
http://louciferspeaks.com/2012/10/10/ethernal-arkioas/

ETHERNAL - GRIM ETHERNITY $10.00 + S&H
Grim Ethernity:
Original Unholy Design pressing of Grim Ethernity, jewel case, inlay including lyrics.
To me, ‘Grim Ethernity’ merely proves that Ethernal are obviously comfortable in their own skin, neither trying to impress the kvlt babies or flummox the prog noodlers. It’s rare for a band to have their own sound these days, but these guys certainly have managed it. Don’t believe me? Check ‘em out and hear for yourself."
Originally written for www.metalteamuk.net

ETHERNAL - BLACK SUN EP $5.00
Black Sun EP:
Promo produced before Arkioas, 2 tracks: Order Of The Black Sun and Ravens At dusk. A Mix and Recording not featured on Arkioas.

Acausal Occult Black Metal

ETHERNAL
Biography
At the dawning of the Galactic Aeon, Ethernal was summoned from within the Singularity to awaken those few who could still hear the voice of the Ether.
Drawing on influences ranging from Prog Rock, Classical and Metal, they forged their first demos in 2003/04. A unique, uncompromising, sonic voice for the Infinite Singularity to perpetuate into the causal world.
 
Ethernal released their critically acclaimed album "Grim Ethernity' in 2008. Self funded and self produced, It received excellent reviews for it's status. 
After a select few devastating live performances over 2010/11 the band embarked on recording their second full length, 'Arkioas'. A reality shattering sonic hymn to the Ether was unleashed. Uncompromisingly archaic, Arkioas was released in 2012 and reflected the bands love for early to mid 90s Black Metal, as well as it's esoteric and occult values.
"...a nature oriented black metal that is also very esoteric and mind-expansive through the use of epic instrumentation."
Nocturnal Cult
