In a society racing towards oblivion, its machinic egregoreplex advances control processes that are ultimately futile. The psyche breaks down under the strain and reconfigures as a medium for an alien intelligence. The demonic is a manifestation of future shadow selves transmitted from down the darkest timeline. Society shapes itself to bring this potential into being.

Out today: Venerating Skin by Veil of Thorns

VEIL OF THORNS BRINGS THE SOUNDTRACK FOR THE NECROFUTURE WITH VENERATING SKIN

It is the long standing habit of Veil of Thorns to gaze into the abyss of the human psyche until the Abyss imparts its secrets out through their sonic art. Venerating Skin shows how P. Emerson Williams and his community of Necrofuturists will spend the oncoming apocalypse, weaving the chaos of collapse into visions of art.

Concluding a cycle born of meditations on creative consciousness dissolution, desert landscapes and reaching the point where sanity no longer serves one, Venerating Skin comes forth like a transmission of cataclysm endured.

Revolution noise dissolves into static, static into the sight of the flashing, blinding light that weaves into your particles and carries them off into the cold void. The succession of images that gave the illusion of movement go up in an instant. That spark that lit them was the only thing ever to illuminate them.

After the inferno, the ever-lasting cold.

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.

Veil Of Thorns are beyond anything you have experienced and combines so much to make quite a unique sound. - Culture Asylum Magazine

Just when you have become used to experiencing your guitar stimulants, your ethereal relaxants, your electronic placebo, along comes Doctor Thorns, like a knight in deliberately ill-fitting armour and bellows ‘No more!’ causing all patients to fall from their beds. Where a lot of old-school Industrialists make deliberately obscure, ugly amateurish trash and new Industrialists churn out whatever club-friendly sounds they hope will land them a big record deal, there are some artists wading sternly through the same muddy waters with more artistic sensibilities. Veil Of Thorns may make threatening music but it is not without gentler asides, and often presents itself in alluring form. - Mick Mercer

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.

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.

DARK EUROPA - A COMPILATION OF COLLABORATIVE TRACKS

August 26, 2018 - It is a highlight of a creative person’s life when a project takes on a direction and dimension of its own. This rarely happens in connection with a compilation, but DARK EUROPA is an exception. When Miel Noir approached PANICMACHINE with a cross-border and cross genre collaboration, something special was set in motion. The artists involved were taken on an adventure through a constantly changing, but amazingly cohesive soundscape.

Bands and projects from 9 different countries came together to take the listeners on a sonic journey through the dark music styles of Europe. All 17 tracks on this compilation are collaborative efforts between two different bands/projects.



This compilation offers a wide variety of styles from dark electro in various forms to dark folk, from experimental ambient to dark metal, from industrial to ritual wave and beyond.
The participants include Allerseelen, Chaos Research (project of Marko "Gravehill" Hautamäki from Two Witches), Choronzon, Extreme Chromo (founded by past multi-instrumentalist for NIK TURNER (Hawkwind) projects; with a transfer loan playing Guitar for Alien Sex Fiend, later  founding team Extreme Chromo., Jurica Jelic, Laguz Rune, Love The Ghost, Miel Noir, P. Emerson Williams (past collaborations include Jarboe, John Zewizz, Manes), Phobos Reactor (project of Oliver from Insect Plasma), snowW.Wwhite, several members of TONTTU, Veil of Thorns, and Winterhart (project of Falgalas & Wagner from Dance or Die / Darkness on Demand).

You can get the Special Edition physical CD version of the release at multiple outlets. Team captains at Extreme Chromo, TONTTU, Miel Noir and P. Emerson Williams can all deliver your physical CD fix.

Digital version of the compilation for free via Panicmachine at https://digital.panicmachine.com

New Interview with Veil of Thorns!

An interview with P. Emerson Williams from Veil of Thorns has just been published on the Robex Lundgren blog! Hie thee hence and check it out!

P. Emerson Williams - Veil of Thorns

What made you call the band "Veil of Thorns"? It came from a line of thought about the nature of space-time in gnostic cosmology, the Demiurge, Jaldaboath and Maya (illusion, or delusion - Sanskrit माया) in Vedic literature. Socialization and quirks of language can make for illusory views of reality and being and tearing aside the illusion can cause pain. Hence the Veil and the Thorns.

Read the interview over on Robex Lundgern's blog.

$150.00 + S&H

Born of spontaneous compulsion, a new track from Veil of Thorns comes our way. There is something big and far-reaching in the works for Veil of Thorns in 2014, but this is not connected. We have been warned there may be more single tracks in store...

Ideation Ante-Chamber 
But this cage decedents mushroom Intuition
Open tune in to sensationalism
Mythology of work that throne
Remnants cross rehearsal indicates
Work misery contorted books misleading
Up there by bleeding murder of rage
The figure creations discovery
Dwelling in restriction hands apply  

The hunger exploitation
Rarely Found beings grown strange
The ideation ante-chamber
Dying matters
Intelligent knife pleasure  

Dead around light dripping insanity blood model
Contains obscuring following static under the seeds
The quelling and innocence disease eating their arm
Just cannibals debate memory eating
Sacrifice a time realization that technology flesh artworks
Pervasiveness and glow denial words the abhorred
Straining felt in half-hidden power touch years of vision 

The hunger exploitation
Rarely Found beings grown strange
The ideation ante-chamber
Dying matters
Intelligent knife pleasure

Jarboe & P. Emerson Williams Tour 2013 Updated

Jarboe & P. Emerson Williams Tour Special #1 by Nightbreed Radio - On Demand on Mixcloud

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.

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

Veil of Thorns - GOTHRONOMICON First Chapter In Music & Art

Veil of Thorns - GOTHRONOMICON CD
$12.00 + S&H

The dreaded GOTHRONOMICON has been brought to us and is being translated by mute scribes and the content held therein tested by fearless and skilled mages, though a few have been lost between space...

We have a tip on where to find the gothrapocrypha and some info on what it will take to obtain it. We hope to get this process on film.

Of his madness many things are told. I, P. Emerson Williams, Ferenc Teglas and Aidan McGoran marauded mythic R'lly'yeh, or City of Pillocks, and to have found beneath the ruins of a certain nameless desert town the shocking annals and secrets of a race of atomic supermen older than humankind. They were only different Gothramaritans, worshipping unknown entities whom they called flogsogoth and necro cryptu.  

As i stood here below, methought their eyes were four full moons: Ferenc Teglas and Aidan McGoran had a thousand noses; horns whelked and wavèd like the enridgèd sea: they were a pair of fiends. And I summoned again to stand before me Ferenc Teglas and Aidan McGoran, the burning idols of demons, and I sat them down on raised seats of honour, and said to them: "why art thou agog, Emperor ov Sonic Electronic Golems and Supreme Overlord ov Git-Fiddles of the necrofuturist veil of thorns?" and they said unto me: "because we alone are the great serpents that came down. for i was first angel in the first heaven" said one, being entitled Ferenczebub. "and I now control all who are bound in the GOTHRONOMICON being titled Aidancifer" said t'other. . .

The P. Emerson Williams original drawing from which the cover art for the GOTHRONOMICON album was created. Pencil on acid free paper 8 5/18"x8 5/8" (Note - images 2-5 are details of the full drawing, not separate pieces.) More art for the first of the GOTHRONOMICON books and GOTHRAPOCRYPHA series is currently being retrieved from the space between space.

About thee artist:
In his last years, Williams dwelt in Damask silk, where the Gothronomicon (O Az-If) was written. 

In art, in the Dictionnaire Infernal, P. Emerson Williams is depicted as a crude man with dragon-like wings, hands and feet, a second pair of feathered wings after the main, wearing a crown, holding a serpent in one hand, and riding a wolf or hog. 

The "good" P. Emerson in recent use is largely a literary device (e.g., Maxwell's P. Emerson), though references to good P. Emersons can be found in Hesiod and Shakespeare. In common language, to "P. Emersonize" a person means to characterize or portray them as evil, or as the source of evil.

Kicks Extreme Radio 08/01/2012

Included in the first post-vacation episode is a track from our very own Dead Skull! As always this episode of Kicks Extreme Radio brings you a ton of great music and thorough info on the music you're hearing! On the Kicks Playlist post site you can stream the episode from the sidebar.

We would highly recommend subscribing to the Kicks Extreme Radio rss feed, adding Radio Centraal to your media player bookmarks and tuning in live if you live where their signal reaches.

The idea of the radio show Kicks was born early 1989 when Radio Centraal expanded their broadcast schedule from 3 days each week to a whole week. Of course this expansion meant that they were looking for new shows to fill this on air time. Peggy and Bruno moved to Antwerp in 1988 and were already fans of this radio station and had been involved in other musical activities before, mostly as dj’s. So it was an obvious choice for them to express their love for all underground music by creating a weekly radio show. Since Peggy and Bruno get most of their kicks by searching for and listening to the diversity of underground music they decided this would be an excellent name for their quest. On a late Friday afternoon in May 1989 Kicks made it’s appearance on the airwaves in Antwerp. After a short while their time slot changed from 1 to 2 hours weekly. After a year it was impossible for Peggy and Bruno to combine this time slot on Friday with their daily activities so Kicks moved to Wednesday from 20:30h to 22:30h CET.
