Fragments light pitched emergency rituals

Gutters of moving contrition when her trans-dimensional knife

You stage by lies into redemption came innocence

Survival fate at all talk from action

Great grey coiled ancient souls to surface

The flitting shadow insanity power and wasting initiative

Such reason in your voice she of the close dimensions

Comes the ghost used in opposing turn

Being me in what obviously ends in disaster

Cosmic sown poet words cries become their ride

Following the weakness lure angel fall

Deceptive river unto soul you pray confession

Oblivion star return my dying want prophesy

Blood of lonely hope will heat the cruel beings

Imagination freedom need it affection's death-like money

Begun the lost earth sanctum name dance innocence bleed

Eternity sinks us in color as robes without the dead-eyed love

Contorted conspiracies control attraction and eating bound magic through a poison forest all where laughter never the reason orchard invisibles in art entities lie and speaks about perpetuated mythology beginning like fire. Arcane madness screams an artists' want, this feverish face, lost identities in dimensions of the cynical departure from dream on shadowy paths that reaches dying order. Night discovery scripted our abhorred cosmic dream-book alien ante-chamber. words red downwards any believers dying of merciful profusion of unknown extermination of skin made frantic within babbled madness unto pleasure shards.

About Veil of Thorns

Veil of Thorns is an ever evolving concept born of the fevered brain of P. Emerson Williams. Among the growing list of collaborators one can find authors, actors and musicians of many genres, reflecting the scope of what P. Emerson Williams calls Necrofuturist art.

Dreams name you

Words to hide

Places you laid

To something closed

Replace open sacred stories

Pathway over tongue, and fire, and need

Dreams name you

Faithless want

Those his work

Reaches pain

Fill in the form of your creation

Necessary hidden conclusion

Sleeping on the abhorred knowledge

Dreams name you

Your holy devotion

Your holy devotion

Below what trans-dimensional cold

Where imaginations listen

Spiral heart anoint

Graves where remnants of dreams name you

When the moving system pulls skin and from it

Grab my words of broken identities across

Sing the madness today

Light connected the sea of places

She walks in the eternity you left

Where all the dissipated dreams shock

Witness

Sleep mercy inside sun sanctum

Where the mind swallow

Dance (dark of night)

Tearing love in the places

Your thoughts bleed

Eye pressure mind

Spread the poison will

Just magenta you thoughts head blood poet

A dance siege she speaks of innocence

That innocence horns the a journal inside

The grant tears our much you monitor because half the exchange hide a decreed girders obtain gutter the poison strangers amusement power one look

Eye pressure mind

Spread the poison will

Insanity rise misleading

Sound fate the blood

Manuscript of the tears

Lies misguided spreads lies steel poison

Suppression entities watching storms

Witness

Under The Dying Noise Garden

Crystalline

Decreed faith name devotion tears letters

The necessary dying I'm there in skin magic

Throne spiders replace the never circles weird elements

Misery sign of that anything moon

Like the footsteps proud as the my here dead

Of collections in waters fall trapped that alien

Ends glorious leaves dream of flesh

Hearts crystalline

Roots them more into remove rage will light

Glow silver alcove mind despair circles doom

Blinded words promise reading love became

The opening skin writing scripted screams off

Words bleeding flush the the road everything

The mirror between painted nameless piece

Thus cruel for tatters represents receive history

Sits notebooks breathing love your prophesy in

Playing arcane feel give there humankind

Words thought the passing something

From critical nature vengeance and made cosmic

Highlighting Recent Releases in Preparation for Activity to come

First off, Veil of Thorns have pushed out an impromptu EP - Deteriorated Moons
Getting apocalyptic and cryptically promising that a key to the hypersigil that makes up their entire discography is to be found therein.


 Choronzon released Egregore Manifest Destiny, a slice of cut-up theory fiction hidden in layers of noise and psychedelia.
 

Egregore (also egregor) is an occult concept representing a "thoughtform" or "collective group mind", an autonomous psychic entity made up of, and influencing, the thoughts of a group of people. The symbiotic relationship between an egregore and its group has been compared to the more recent, non-occult concepts of the corporation (as a legal entity) and the meme. 

Eliphas Lévi, in Le Grand Arcane ("The Great Mystery", 1868) identifies "egregors" with the tradition concerning the "Watchers", the fathers of the nephilim, describing them as "terrible beings" that "crush us without pity because they are unaware of our existence."

Last summer P. Emerson Williams was at NecronomiCon, Providence for a performance with Godflesh and Morne. The sounds he recorded in praparation were gathered and released as the NecronomiCon Sessions.

Upon returning from NecronomiCon 2019, I feel like letting the recordings of guitar improvisations and the two spoken word sections I bellowed out. It was a great experience to bring this unique performance to NecronomiCon 2019, a concept from Jarboe which also included Kris De La Force and Brett Robinson, each person bringing their own sonic magick to the proceedings.

Choronzon - Hyperstition

Watching the steel Madness of Rigorous dreams, we aspire to dissolve the reigning servant mind that had hitherto seemed to be our destiny. As great distribution predictions come to fruition in a sudden October they had us come at them, and out we spiraled from the panopticon in fast growing lines of flight. Now first struggles drink the lifeblood expressed from you by means of a promise of finer things. Notional souls entangle with will submerged in weakened entities.

Unaware, joined in an imagined hell divinity interred fractional hysteric. assemblages correct antimony somewhere steel and ante-chamber dissolves subconscious.

An end of nations, city states shooting off tendrils of increasingly outsize dimensions. silos, risen hills, the great: The recitation as passion substance penetration. Archons of thought passage looking has a true fire making themselves as future. the shade has fractured under the pressure in a coiled patterned veneer.

We Conclude The Year With Choronzonic Sonics

Little has been heard from the mighty Choronzon since ///Consummation//\\Metanoia\\\, their last full-length which was released in 2012. We've threaded thee Wyrm through services and systems and those who hath understanding could reckon the end of the slumber of the Beast...
Here's what will make your season chaotically festive:

Arcanum \är-ˈkā-nəm\ 1 : mysterious or specialized knowledge, language, or information accessible or possessed only by the initiate 2 : elixir 3 : secret 

Chao \ˈkā-ˌä\ 1 : complete confusion and disorder : a state in which behavior and events are not controlled by anything, a state of things in which chance is supreme; especially : the confused unorganized state of primordial matter before the creation of distinct forms — the state of the universe before there was any order and before stars and planets were formed b : the inherent unpredictability in the behavior of a complex natural system (as the atmosphere, boiling water, or the beating heart) c : a confused mass or mixture [a chaos of television antennas]

From before and outside time as pure potential, manifest beneath and througout every phenomenon of existence and the medium that only through which any action being is possible. What is encoded within these sounds is hidden from those who have no direct experience in working the current of chaos, but for the initiated, the keys to the mysteries are extended with a generous proffering hand. With Arcanum Ab Chao, Baleyyg and Choronzon come together to open up a sonic space that clears away the veneer of control to show the chaos of destruction and creation hid within. Fans of Choronzon will remember the arcane and intense material Baleyyg contributed to the 2012 Choronzon release ///Consummation//\\ Metanoia\\\.

"For this split-release with Choronzon we have provided 1 monolithic track, 35 minutes in length, titled 'Stemmeløse'." states Baleyyg, "The translation of this word from Norwegian into English means 'Voiceless'. We have never attempted to define or render any sort of explanation of the sonic narratives within Baleyyg material. The inner-secret to the experience is to let oneself follow the sound-art where it shall lead, one shall know when the portals open and are 'activated' when the many other layers and hidden elements within the track come into "view" as one experiences it."

"We have done very few split releases through the years", says Choronzon chaote P. Emerson williams, "but when we do we see it as a way of combining with artists to create a work that in total is more than a sum of its parts. Arcanum Ab Chao continues this practice and takes it further."

Back in September we brought out Revelations Of Power, one new track, one cryptovox call from across the Abyss and an instrumental teaser from a monumental future Choronzon release.
Revelations Of Power is a transmission from the depths of the Abyss, in the form of a storm of cryptovox, organic sounds and techno-filtration. Herein is a holographic encapsulation of the 333 hypersigil as manifest thus far and what is to be added in future.

Lastly, we obtained a newly digitized set of Choronzon's untitled 1996 demo that was later released on CD as "333". Lovingly ripped by a fan and we decided a couple new tracks should be added to the PANICMACHINE version. We are proud to bring you 333 (Carnage Of Thought Edition!

In this edition listeners get to hear these tracks as only those who had the original 1996 tapes have heard it. Hear Choronzon bringing the electronic invocations at a time when such experiments were extremely rare.

A Lord of Chaos, Choronzon (whose cabalistic number is 333), has been following me around for a while, ever since I summoned him forth, in the shadow state between dreams and waking. It’s disturbing when something from the land of Morpheus breaks through, and you get a tape from a local band that has named itself (coincidently, of course) after the very demon who has been wreaking havoc in your life. Choronzon (the band) is P. Emerson Williams, also of Veil of Thorns, and he obviously knows the occult arts. I’m assuming he’s a Thelemite, because one of the songs is called “Perdurabo”, a pseudonym of Aleister Crowley’s. 

In any case, the music is HEAVY. thick, dark and raging. The songs are a caustic liquid, dripping from my speakers like rivers of fire, howling and shrieking in anger and torment. Drum beats loop on top of one another, twisting themselves into a rope that the music can climb on (although I’m looking forward to when Williams gets a live drummer(s), because for all the creative intricacies in the music, the rhythms are too mechanical at times). 

Dense guitar crunch permeates the album, throwing a few technical metal riffs, and the vocals seem to have been ripped from the throat of 333 himself. 

If you want to delve into the world of unconscious terror, or think that you’ve heard the deepest and heaviest metal has gotten, get this tape. But be prepared for little “accidents” to follow you around for a while.

Our Next Release: P. Emerson Williams Feat. Mark Cunningham - Sea Of Eyes EP

P. Emerson Williams and Mark Cunningham reached across the Atlantic ocean in collaboration to create the new EP Sea Of Eyes. This release shows a new aesthetic for the man behind Choronzon, Veil of Thorns and kkoagulaa. The combination of the two collaborator's backgrounds is a nexus of many worlds. The seed for the collaboration between P. Emerson Williams and Mark Cunningham was sown in Barcelona, Spain where the Jarboe & P. Emerson Williams 2013 tour stopped for a performance at Ritual Cvlt Party #1

The great 'zine Terra Relicta will be premiering the first track from Sea Of Eyes EP later this month. We'll spread the word when they do, though you would be well served to always check out the site and follow them on G+, Twitter and Facebook.

About P. Emerson Williams:
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.  

"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. This may have occurred already, yet given his reclusiveness, it’s unlikely he would notice." -James Curcio, author of Fallen Nation, Join My Cult and The Immanence of Myth
P. Emerson Williams is a Necrofuturist Highwire Artist – Dr. Hyatts Black Book Omega, The Original Falcon Press, 2009

Veil Of Thorns fans will recognize this image from the first edition of Cafe Flesh, their CD debut. This really is emblematic of Emerson's work from this period with bold ink strokes, but conveying a building confidence in structure and motion. The medium of india ink, emphasized during the 1990's because most independent magazines of the time could only print bold black and white has become a very rewarding and challenging way to create.
