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
