I can sense it. The environmental official claimed the place had been fully cleansed, sluiced at speeds usually associated with sandblasting: even laughing “that’ll do for the bastard!” But it’s still here. Waiting. Be warned, it comes in a pink, red and white (mostly) sleeve, and you could be tricked into thinking left-field Industrial. You might take it lightly. And be sucked through a vortex of howling misery. So shall it be, for P Emerson Williams, who is involved with a book, ‘Necromance’, out through Westgate Press, has been preparing for this album by playing gigs in unsuspecting art galleries. He’s been building up to it for years, and the dread fear we should all share is that he will take this miscarriage of inverted melody further still. I lost track of tracks, which I think is intentional, although I’d tried hard to observe the map. The opening noise cloud contains voices, of that there is no doubt, and then the arousal/carousal which is abruptly switched on displays a dazed choral industrial tableau. Then it’s off, roaring and screeching like flea-infested beggars on speed. (Think: Ancient Mariner Inventing Anarcho-Punk.) The tracks often suggest these are ditches of burning maniacs, but in ‘The Enchanting Dead’ there’s guitars shunting into each other; one slug-like, one acrobatic, all juiced up by rasping, bubonic vocals, and these lyrics are almost convivial compared to the main body of work: “Who you are is what you by, You try so hard to charm the Enchanting Dead, You’ll never know the price you’ve paid.” Then we descend into Hell. You may think it’s just Industrial Rock with knobs on, but some of those knobs are bobby-trapped. It becomes a sandstorm inside which a battalion of skeletons create spectacular effects. (Think: Mummy Returns at a napalm Death convention.) You’ll encounter vast juddering creations, some secreting doomy riffs, and always the vociferous vocals are a sediment, a constant wild whispering in the harsh strata. The demonic spew is fine, the punky stomp unexpected, but mostly it’s just worrying, as you find yourself encircled by disembodied voices. There’s gruelling, hard Ambient grindcore, leaving a shattered cadaverous wreckage. And that’s you. And that’s okay too. I was relieved when it ended, making Leech Woman sound like The Proclaimers as it does, but I couldn’t help noticing that this palpitating Hellish breath creates a wind tunnel of musical mucus which is none other than orchestrated chaos. So I’m keeping it under lock and key, just to be on the safe side. Regrettably, it seems to have heard my plans… http://www.westgatenecromantic.com This American band is definitely delivering something different than the metal market usually limits itself to. This is something intense and hard, industrialized raw metal with chaotic and controlled sounds. Very hard and at the same time rich with noise. The industrial edge of this band is the most visual side of their music, several noisy factors do play an essential part of he music and do not allow it to become polished or predictable. The album varies from the rather noisy and non-melodic to the more easily listenable, with raw riffs and a drive to the music. Like on "Crimson Awakening", which as become our highlight on this unusual and raw album. CHORONZON Blackened Electro Metal from America Choronzon (USA) is a one-man project under the command of Mr. P. Emerson Williams. The music of Choronzon is a find blend of Black, Thrash and Industrial, but you also find strong Gothic elements and some out of the ordinary psychedelic/ Ambient elements. If you've had anything to do with the Goth scene or read any occult oriented magazines in the early nineties you would almost certainly have come across the art of Peter Emerson Williams, or read interviews with his band, Veil of Thorns. What was less known at the time was the evil Demon he was giving birth to: Choronzon. P. Emerson Williams had spent the late eighties trying to get a Black Metal band going that was sincere about its occult involvement. Finding nothing but baseball-capped thrashers who were content with aping Exodus, Metallica and Anthrax he decided to withdraw from the world for a while to concentrate on art, Veil of Thorns and perfecting his vision of Metal. Choronzon was first brought out from the underworld with "Emotional Hunger", a heavily Death-tinged three song affair that had its good points but barely hinted in -92 at what was to follow. It was with the second self-titled demo Williams' vision was brought light years closer to realization, and the public interest was immediately felt to the point at which it was difficult to get review copies sent out as the tapes were sold almost as soon as they were duplicated. What most characterized the second demo was a ritualistic experimentalism that was not quite the amorphous devilry of Abruptum and some eighties style riffs that weren't quite retro. This demo was without a doubt a far purer Black Metal release than the preceding demo and the subsequent album. "Magog Agog" is taken from James Joyce’s "Finnegan’s Wake". It is to be found in a passage of epithets hurled at, written down and collected by a much derided derelict in the town. It fits perfectly with the way P. Emerson Williams was treated by many in the Goth scene, and the words have a very meaningful occult meaning which fits Choronzon to a T. Choronzon "Magog Agog" CD (ECLIPSE 009)/ Nocturnal Art Productions: "The music of Choronzon is a fine blend of Black, Thrash and Industrial Metal, but you also find strong gothic elements and some out of the ordinary psychedelic/ambient elements." What could be more fitting description? This outstandingly weird and unordinary release by P. Emerson Williams of Veil Of Thorns surely covers all the mentioned genres and almost everything else, and furthermore combines them incredibly well so that the wide spectrum doesn't disturb. It's hard to say anything collective about "Magog Agog", it's not just anything. Every single field is handled with skill and true artistic sense, and recording technology is being used very colorfully. If you're into reallychaotic and original stuff, get "Magog Agog" in your hands as soon as possible! It's simply brilliant!     The kind of scene where what is happening could either be other realities/ dimensions are imposing themselves on the characters consciousness, or they are going insane. A character undergoing cruel torture suddenly finds he's ripped into an underworld of harrowing beauty. •Place music in independent films •Your gear used in films Sign Up Here •Find music for your film •Find funding and help for your film •Free apparel for your cast Sign Up Here Email: Pass: I'm A: MusicianFilmmaker Forgot your password?
