P. Emerson Williams should be forced by law to consult Congress before releasing more music, a bipartisan panel including several prominent former U.S. officials said on Tuesday.
Let's see if I can bash out a bio on short order...
Fixed a leak in the roof. I feel so butch.
For he is 4 devils, Satan, Lucifer, Leviathan, Belial, and by the double-headed one hath he made the great princes of the Worlds, and from that issue 70 by 4, that are the 4 eyes of the judgements.
When I said this, I sinned against incorruptibility; then there was a voice that came forth from incorruptibility saying "You are mistaken, Boyyy!" - which is, "dog of the mind".
For the reason that he ruled over them, because of the glory which was in him from the power [of the light] of his mother. For this reason he himself called "God" in that he resisted the nature from which he had come into being. And he bound seven powers with the principalities.
As he puts it:

15:27 @agent139 ah, but you have access to all the astral donuts that have been, that are and every astral donut that shall be. #
15:28 @agent139 Soon, young asshopper you must learn the fine art of donutkan... #
19:06 @jmatheny Seven evil doughnut gods, Seven evil doughnut demons, Seven evil demons of doughnut oppression, Seven in heaven and seven on earth #
When he said this, he sinned against the [entirety]. And this speech got up to incorruptibility; then there was a voice that came forth from incorruptibility saying "You are mistaken, Mammon" - which is, "god of the blind".

Spirits that minish the land, Of giant strength, Of giant strength and giant tread, Demons (like) raging bulls, great ghosts, Ghosts that break through all houses, Demons that have no shame, Seven are they! Knowing no care, They grind the land like corn.
For sooth:
11:55 @jmatheny █████ the █████ the █████ing █████ is █████ed! #
11:57 @noraknickers those powerful folks have not noticed the golden apple rolling between their feet... #
23:58 @jmatheny A classic! And when I'm drunk I'm either lurching and careening or holding forth with the kitchen people. #
Knowing no mercy, They rage against mankind; They spill their blood like rain Devouring their flesh (and) sucking their veins, Where the images of the gods are, there they quake (?) In the Temple of Naboo, who runneth the Nabootique. They are demons full of violence, Ceaselessly devouring blood.

But George W Bush (for so is the name of that mighty devil), envying human felicity, and perceiving that the substance of the humans' lesser part was frail and imperfect in respect to his purer essence, began to assail humans and so prevailed. By offending so, humans became accursed in the sight of Choronzon, and so lost both the garden of Felicity and the judgment of his understanding, but not utterly the favour of Choronzon.
00:08 @agent139 man, that's like grownup and shit. Many happy returns. #
18:36 @Johnharrigan very well put, that. I think I now have an explanation for my current mood of irrational optimism. #
18:59 @agent139 't'is but madness fueling me, #'s#'s#'s, emails, chats, (all: you're next), hands in potatoes, muttering "this means something"... #
This enigmatic text has also been linked with Emerson’s Gothronomicon. On the basis of its diagrams all we know is that it might be a herbal. It could be a cipher manuscript that Williams records as having purchased in Prague. All else is conjecture.

What we have here is a black/death metal fanzine from around 1992 created by my cohort ccernn back when we were sending and trading demo tapes all over the globe. It's an interesting look into the minds of callow young musicians many of whom have become very influential indeed.
Click on it to get a closer look and leaf through the mag.
The first event to celebrate Tara Vanflower, Daniele Serra and their beautiful and haunting creation.
For most, "immortal" is just a word, a description of a concept that defies all rational explanation. Born and reborn in the era of Christ, Ilya knows all too well what "immortal" really means. Journey with her across the aeons in her truly eternal quest to find love, solace, or even simple peace with the world and the nature of what she has become.
"Neither a graphic novel nor simply a story with pictures, but an artistic hybrid somewhere between the two...told in Vanflower's deadpan dream transcript style." - Brian John Mitchell, Silber Media/Remora
"An invitation for the reader to be captured by the illusive detachment of literal and metaphorical Vampire." - Jarboe

Upon detailed descriptions of these uncertain incidents I do not venture, individually so trivial, but taken all together so impressive and so insolent.
If only I could find it in me to give utterance to what shouted so loud within me! If only... the same old cry:
00:08 @agent139 man, that's like grownup and shit. Many happy returns. #
something would happen! For all this elliptic talk that dazed my mind left obscurity everywhere. Her atrocious meaning, nonetheless, flashed through me, though vanishing before it wholly divulged itself.

Welcome to the first transmission of the kkoagulaa podkkast, starting from the point of one awakening from a dream, we bring you on a journey the simultaneously takes us inward and outside ourselves.
Q. When the Philosophers speak of gold and silver, from which they extract their matter, are we to suppose that they refer to the vulgar gold and silver?
A. By no means; vulgar silver and gold are dead, while those of the Philosophers are full of life.
After all notions have been dissected
And all expressions have been deconstructed
As world views have been exploded
And connections to others have been dissolved
Comes another swing of the pendulum
Again changes the sum and substance
A time for renewal, for creation, cor consolidation
From solve to coagula
That which was expanded contracts
Cryptic works become clear
Obscured layers of meaning show themselves in all their beautiful simplicity
The imperfect, diseased, corruptible and ephemeral becomes perfect, healthy, incorruptible and everlasting
The map ceases to prevent us from exploring the territory
ah, we have achieved kkoagulaa
Our first transmission eases us into an opening of the third eye:
Some strange writing and art will be uploaded to this online reader as we go along. I wouldn't dare tell you the experiences that lay behind the cleansing that was the writing here. I may bring the Panic Pandemic book here for all to see for free, depending on either having time to spare, (not likely), or finding an automatic way of flattening layers into one in pdf files.
The words and much of the art are inextricably linked to the creation of the Birthed album. I wonder how many would feel like dancing after listening and reading at the same time...
The plan is a surface unchanged, the population rearranged. The plan of the chart; symbols of the all Abase yourself with dilemmas achingly strange. The representation has become the object as fated. The atmosphere breaks the surface artlessly, the place of origin reallocated.
12:18 Some new art coming, and watch out for the inaugural kkoagulaa podcast. #
The strategy an inhalation without a solution, the perpetrator a striking idol; secret messages outlast their authors. Dissidents are revolted by the able bodied in anticipation of the end. Kings, in protracted assumption of the mantle of rule, scheme and act.

18:48 @jmatheny There once was a man from dundee, who had his way with a monkey in a tree... #

The savvy consumers of unreality had not been presented with choices according to their variety and tastes. The apocalypse was not accessorized with accoutrements fashionable enough.
To whit:
08:57 Mowing the lawn, in contradiction to my philosophical and aesthetic opposition to there being lawns. #
17:35 @agent139 we'll be working on that coming up. I think a convo between the four core partners should happen when we can arrange it. #
They had been brought into existence by human thought and feeling, but had also predated them. They survive the end and predate the beginning. None of them were real.

14:34 @agent139 one of these days I'll fill in my linked in profile. #
14:40 @agent139 The problem is the art pages. I dropped full illustrator files into indesign. The vector layers are a killer #
I feed upon my fundament . I churn Satan, Lucifer, Leviathan, Belial in my jaws, and I void them from High. I fear not the power of the evil wisdom, for I am the hundred three and Master of the Triangle. My name is thirty and three, and that is thrice the names of the Most one.

... with columns of heavenly fire, and among them I saw columns of fire fall, which were beyond measure alike towards the height and towards the depth. And beyond that abyss I saw a place which had no firmament of the heaven above, and no firmly bounded earth beneath it: there was no water upon it, and no birds, but it was a waste and horrible place.
This place is the end of heaven and earth : this has become a prison for the stars and the hosts of heaven:
08:06 @jmatheny Or, on reflection, maybe the world is now such that one can only pull a Rambo... tinyurl.com/2xzbrm#
16:38 @jmatheny the same applies to the batcave in which I am currently working. #
Destructive storms (and) evil winds are they, An evil blast that heraldeth the baneful storm, Heralds of the Pestilence, Throne-bearers of Ninkigal, They are the flood which rusheth through the land. Seven gods of the broad heaven, Seven gods of the broad earth, Seven robber gods are they. Seven gods of might, Seven evil demons of oppression, Seven in heaven and seven on earth.
Jun. 26th, 2008 @ 01:24 am
From the days of the slaughter and destruction and death of the giants, from the souls of whose flesh the spirits, having gone forth, shall destroy without incurring judgement - thus shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great judgement in which the age shall be consummated over the Watchers and the godless, yea shall be wholly consumated.
Meanwhile, they twitter and tweet:
16:39 So, where are we going to set up our bohemian Hooverville? #
22:13 @jmatheny I can emphasize. What is the modern equivalent of 19th century Africa? #
23:27 @jmatheny I hope you know I meant empathize... #
In the Temple of Nabu, who fertilizeth the shoots of wheat. They are demons full of violence, Ceaselessly devouring blood, the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”
~Samuel Adams
16:58 "America, love it or leave it"... Book my passage off its bloated corpse
"When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil."
Composed by P. Emerson Williams, a mad poet of Gotha, in the spaces between space. He saw the ruins of Babylon and subterranean secrets of Memphis and spent ten years alone in the great southern desert of Alabia - the Robe 0'Golly-Yeah, or Empty Space of the ancients and Crimson desert of the modern Minicabs, which is held to be inhabited by evil spirits and monsters of death.
His whispers resound:
10:36 @szul I had years of Norse myths in school in Norway, if you need info. #
12:37 @szul if the timeframe is workable, that would be cool to do. Perhaps you can think of your friendly mythopoetic artist for illustrations. #
14:54 ♫ firefox3 signs me out of everything every time I close it, even with cookies enabled. #
14:56 @jmatheny indeed, for they're listening in on your dreams as you sleep... #
Of this desert many strange and unbelievable marvels are told by those who pretend to have penetrated it. In his last years, Williams dwelt in Damask silk, where the Gothronomicon (O Az-If) was written, and of his final death or disappearance (738 A.D.) many terrible and conflicting things are told.
Our web guru has finished the full www.MythosMedia.net site, and agent139 wrote the faq, doing such a great job telling who we are and what we're about I'm just going to swipe it and what he said about it wholesale:
Finally, after a full year of trying to get all our ducks in a row, we've put out the full version of the www.MythosMedia.net website. This is a company run for and by artists, writers, and programmers, with the naive belief that we can accomplish our goals without selling our souls to Satan. (Or Exxon Mobile.) We'd like to retain that belief, and hope you join us in what I am told must certainly be a delusion... That there is an opportunity right now for creatives to unite their skills towards a common motive- building a virtual art scene, and uniting under a brand to bring that about for our personal and mutual benefit.
And if this sounds like a load of horseshit to you, consider that it is THE MYTH OF A SCENE which allowed so many of the artists and writers whose names we now know to live off of their work, and break boundaries in ways that changed the lives of thousands.
By all means feel free to forward to others that you know that may have an interest in this project, either in the work we are already releasing, or in terms of building what comes next.
Feel free to email me (jamescurcio at gmail dot com) with questions or the inevitable hate mail.
In a world where enormous budgets are used to cram the entertainment flavor-of-the-month down your throat, it can be easy to forget to take the time to actually read a book, or plug into an album, tune out the world, and go on a journey. We exist for those of us who still savor these things, and don't require a celebrity to tell us what underwear to put on in the morning. Mythos Media takes the ancient arts of storytelling and myth-making, and brings them to the present through modern media. We seek out the edgy and iconoclastic mavericks that exist off the beaten path, pump them full of our patented, secret super-drugs, and help them reach your eyes and ears. (We also enjoy a good fib, if it entertains or serves the plot.) Rather than avoiding the unsettling, the unusual, the intense, we embrace it. There is nothing "cookie-cutter" about any of our products: they are all home-grown and independently produced. There are no focus groups. There is no formula aside from pushing our boundaries. You will find yourself entertained, edified, horrified, aroused and even possibly disgusted. In other words, everything you hoped to get out of college, for a fraction of the price. Take a trip with us.

The name calls like the voice of some eldritch creature, with the power to hypnotize and tear the soul apart. Their recordings, prized artifacts, strange words like transmissions from an alternate universe that intersects our own at points of mystery: tapes, highly guarded, widely hunted, compilations and the albums whose very names hint at what experience that will unfold upon their listening.
Arcane and unwholesome researches have determined that Veil of Thorns is the work of mainly one man, if a mortal man he truly is, who has recourse to mechanical slaves, strange instruments known as Pandora and Ruddy Bitch, which have the power to the muffled and maddening beating if drums and thin whine of blasphemous flutes inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time.
His howls can be heard still from the void.

I realize that passing the 10,000 views mark is nothing in youtuberland, but I feel moved to mark the occasion anyway. I've uploaded Veil of Thorns and Choronzon videos, but Choronzon gets the most eyeball time by far. (The most viewed video from Veil of Thorns on youtuber is Enshroud with 2,245 views.
Of course, none of this matches the traffic the silent films I've scored, which get 50,000 views each on average over any given 60 day period, not counting bittorrent.
