FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: VEIL OF THORNS RELEASE "Eschaton & Celebration" ALBUM FOR FREE

Eschaton (Noun) - From Ancient Greek ἔσχατον (eskhaton), neuter singular of ἔσχατος (eskhatos, “last”).

(New Testament) day at the end of time following Armageddon when God will decree the fates of all individual humans according to the good and evil of their earthly lives. (literally) the last; used in theology to refer Veil of Thorns is an edgy, eclectic blend of electronica and metal. It reminds me of to the world's state during the posthistoric era of God's early Bowie in that it pushes the overt (apocalyptic) reign, immediately preceding the end envelope, shakes up the status quo, and of the world. demands attention. We're entering a new world of music indeed - one that's refreshingly different. the Cognitive Dissonance title track is ominous, like free-falling into a dark abyss.

"Peripatetic" pushes us over the edge of insanity. "A Weirdness Less Expressed" can only be described as enigmatic or avant-garde. The instrumental "Surgically Dream Like" feels like anesthetic wearing off while you're on the operating table – terrifying! - (Athena) - Gothic Beauty

Celebration (Noun) - The formal performance of a solemn rite, such as Christian sacrament - The observance of a holiday or feast day, as by solemnities - The act, process of showing appreciation, gratitude and/or remembrance, notably as a social event.- A social gathering for entertainment and fun; a party.

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

Eschaton & Celebration opens up to an experience of the final stage of apocalypse. This is a journey into the heart of chaos that indeed does celebrate the end of everything familiar in cultural, spiritual and physical reality itself.

After completing a tour of the US and Europe with Jarboe, head necrofuturist of Veil of Thorns, P. Emerson Williams gathered impressions, thoughts and notes written down along the way to bring the whole into the twisted Just when you have become used to experiencing your guitar stimulants, your form of Eschaton & Celebration. ethereal relaxants, your electronic Veil of Thorns are known for covering much ground placebo, along comes Doctor Thorns, like sonically and conceptually. There is the punk-noir and a knight in deliberately ill-fitting armour lyrical meditations on being an outsider and lubrication of and bellows ‘No more!’ causing all patients to fall from their beds. Where a the wheels of empire on Vampire Wars. There is the lot of old-school Industrialists make musical hall of mirrors and dispatches from the charred deliberately obscure, ugly amateurish fields of the apocalypsis of the act of artistic creation found trash and new Industrialists churn out whatever club-friendly sounds they hope on the twin albums Necrofuturist and Salon Apocalypse.

One could easily call it goth, avant-garde, industrial, drum & bass, dark psychedelia but that would limit the parameters since it is in fact all of that yet something even more nebulous. - ReGen Magazine Electronic flavored beats, heavy synthing mixed with edgy guitar weepings and highly new wave influenced vox come together on a goth act that should not be ignored by those who grew up listening to The Cure, Bauhaus and others. Only Veil of Thorns' sound is all its own, mind you.

- Chaindlk.com It's really difficult to describe the music of Veil of Thorns - but lovers of raw, earthy gothic rock should love it. Pure filth (which is a good thing!). - Janis Kalifatidis, Fight Amnesia Magazine I have said it before but one element that really makes Veil of Thorns stand out against any background is Williams voice.

The disparate landscapes form a backdrop for his strange disharmonious singing. He manages to convey a clear sense of confusion and alienation, and his vocals are more reminiscent of David Bowie than the common post industrial fare. In addition deft instrumentation and production makes every Veil of Thorns release worth listening to – and we certainly hope there are still many of those in store. - Kaliglimmer Rarely do I come across a recording that stumps me the way this one did. Before hearing it I was aware of Veil of Thorns, and I had heard the occasional track, but after listening I can say that I am most assuredly a fan. The title for the album is Salon Apocalypse, and it is certainly apt considering the mood of the music presented. It feels like I am comfortably seated looking out at an apocalypse slowly being unveiled in the light of the setting sun. Whether this is an apocalypse in its original meaning (revelation), or the fall of civilization is not yet evident, but I have a feeling it may indeed be both. The two experiences are certainly not mutally exclusive. - Heathen Harvest on Veil of Thorns – Salon Apocalypse (2010)

MASK OUR FASCINATION Home where a carved grotesque imagination Is the horror of the Art. Study, lies.

A declaration infected each sun Forever with flawed wanderlust madness.

The undying prophesy, screen observations, Monitor patrons, masquerade, argue art.

And Three red imaginary dream Disguise words, on the knowledge possibility Of innocence conjunction.

Identities, other Trouble, dimension Found.

Humanity, thoughts glow, all perpetuated time.

Scripted dispersion poison, the undying cloud, That night still mask our fascination The undying prophesy, screen observations, Monitor patrons, masquerade, argue art.

And Three red imaginary dream Disguise words, on the knowledge possibility Of innocence conjunction.

MESSENGER OF NIGHT The flesh between my teeth Slid from my initial probing bite Like the sensual slithering of a raw oyster The messenger of night In this place with no moon or sun, No time of day or season, The light of morning seeps in By common consensus I see, I heard I see, I heard The messenger of night
