Veil of Thorns - Meaning Died Destroying




"Well, this is pretty weird stuff for me, to be honest. I thought at first it was something about gothic rock, but when I've done with the song, I don't know how to express my feelings. Like, I'm feeling really uncomfortable after that." - nothing,nowhere

"I found this a bit too dark and strange." - Novorama

"The song has a catchy beat and great vocals. The vibes are absolutely spooky." - Radio Mirror Park

"Cool song with a lot of creative genre boundary pushing ideas!" - Best of Darksynth / Synthwave / Cyberpunk

"I felt the vocals were just a little too strange for me, though theyre certainly unique." - Rogue VHS

"I'm having trouble making sense of this - I mean literally just parsing it. When the beat is in, I hear scattered mumblings in the background, and when it drops out, I don't have a clear sense of the vocal meter and can't really understand the words. Whatever its artistic merits, I'm afraid this is a bit too challenging for myself and my listeners..." - Vocal Synthwave Retrowave

"...sounds so hitting and dynamic, groovy but unfortunately final mood is too aggressive..." - Futuristic Beats

"The sound is very unique and dark, I can definitely see people enjoying this..." - Irles Music

Veil of Thorns - Have The Skies Subdued


From the album Venerating Skin. Pre-save on Spotify, Deezer, or Apple Music here: https://ingroov.es/venerating-skin-3u

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

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

Jarboe special - Swans & World of Skin

Jarboe special - Swans & World of Skin


 Jarboe special - Swans & World of Skin - in conversation with David Eastaugh



Between 1985 and 1996, she worked as a vocalist and keyboardist in the band, appearing on albums including Children of God (1987), The Burning World (1989), and Soundtracks for the Blind (1996). Jarboe's inclusion in the band marked a departure from their previous noise rock sound to a more melodic industrial and even folk rock sound. She also collaborated with Gira, forming their side project, The World of Skin in 1987, releasing several albums and singles.



Jarboe left Swans in 1997 when the band broke up and embarked on a solo career, releasing various experimental records (many of which she has self-released and distributed over the internet)[10] including Sacrificial Cake (1995) and Anhedoniac (1998). She has continued to self-release solo albums and, despite not returning to the group, recorded vocals for two tracks on the re-formed Swans' album, The Seer (2012).



Jarboe completed a world tour in the autumn/winter of 2013, with Veil of Thorns' P. Emerson Williams on guitar. She released an experimental soundscape album, With Sun Falling, with Veil of Thorns in June 2015.
