Veil Of THorns – The Gathering World Withdrew Its Fury

Oi, such balladry. I’m sure there’ll be some who wanna kick me for this one. I’ll be entering full diva mode once I have all the vocal parts written. But for now, the timid, little boy vox….

Windows will rattle…

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The fine folks of SIIIIIIIIII have announced in their usual straight forward and charming way that their site is up and running, news which causes this fluffy little fella to feel great waves of warmth.

I remember hearing this odd name when I was a yow’un, but my attention was grabbed by this impassioned declaration by Mick Mercer, and have found the music to be dark, original and razor-sharp. Very pleasant and supportive folks, too.

Siiiiiiiiiiiii are pleased to announce that we now have a website. Via this we will keep you updated on everything Siiiiiiiiii.
To access the site please visit…

Thank you for your time.

Love.

Siiiiii

And, the festering schmeg that functions as Rpert Murdock’s soul is redeemed by giving a venue for what is contained on the following pages. (Well, there’s really nothing that can be done to accmplish that, but their presence there is as good to have as that of Damien Youth and Jarboe, so I may gush…)

Now go and let them know you love them:

The Mick 25

Enda en fra den fremste Goth skribenten. Den er kort, sier mannen selv, men et 84 siders blad som er gratis er noe å være takknemlig for å bli gitt. Der er mye å interessere, lese og sleike…

Jeg anbefaler dette her for alle mørkets skapninger….

The latest is of THE MICK is now up, and can be sent to anyone you love or admire, straight from the heart. (If you haven’t downloaded the ATARAXIA special you’ll find it remains for a further two weeks before vanishing. If you haven’t yet encountered the most devilishly artistic band in the world you’d better swoop now.)

Look at these lovely ingredients in THE MICK 25, gathered for you from around this pulsating globe:

ARTICA

HISTORY OF GUNS

LA MAMOYNIA

NAUGHTY ZOMBIES

THE DAUGHTERS OF BRISTOL

THE HOUSE OF USHER

THOSE POOR BASTARDS

Plus the usual slew of reviews, and some lovely KaS Product live shots. Your pulse will soon be racing. You may even experience a slight case of nausea. All of this is good.

The Pound And The Furry…

On the other hand, the things that came into being are turning out to be very, very exciting indeed. None of you have seen or heard my best work yet.

Don’t worry about my sanity, it’s never gonna come back… The following text is, like the previous, a rollicking delirium made up of things past, things written to me over the past five years.

As I am collecting your art work so I can pitch to my investors next year for my next film project so they can see your work and allow me to fly you down to help me with the movie.

I’ll have to talk it with you more when I finished the script.

meanwhile, keep sending in your stuff…I love looking at them!

Nice to hear from you. I love your artwork and would appreciate it if you had any to show me on the subject of nightmares. I am creating nightmare sequences on animation and 3D work.

There has been many artist here who submitted to me their work but I found their vision for nightmares pretty bland.

As for myself, I have a few, but i’m really making a collection of Nightmares from around the world.

Purity Of Essence

I have long been comforted by my fears. Something has always been coming at me, so I never approach the front door when anyone is about. Usually when I have left in the company of a human it has been to be dragged to prison, thrown into the streets or the madhouse. I no longer participate. There is no place left to drop out to, so I’m running out of places to stop and catch my breath.

Lately I have managed to be gone in time. I’ve fallen into a habit of leaning on knives when they are held to my back. Not everybody welcomes that. The threats are meant to control. It’s a bit disconcerting when the target opts for the punishment.

I pass days in a numb, obsessive reverie. I pass through the streets on errands I as often as not forget, and rarely care to complete when I do. Faces are never recognizable, but I can see recognition in a face in the street when a look of revulsion contorts their habitual blandness, their mask of belonging. The scent of decomposition lingers just beyond my sense of smell.

Fear warns of danger, hunger raises anger, but apathy immobilizes. The endless flow of words between people would dwindle to a trickle if we could no longer deliver our respective tales of agony. There is a certain thrill I get from recognizing my nightmares in real events, or meeting a person for the first time a day after dreaming of them. Fear time. Sometimes there is a link between a dream and an event that is not immediately apparent.

I’m awaiting certain death in an abandoned building. Poised in the middle of the room, I have the sense I’m standing at the edge of a cliff that is dropping far into the blackness below. A warm rush of air startles me. The room is sealed off. An abyss yawns before me, not visible, but palpable. I am aware that others are outside the room, silent in anticipation for what I’m about to do. None of them were real. As usual the promised spectacle failed to entrance. To be seen and heard by other unreal spectres confirmed their reality. A wave engulfed a small nation. They had been brought into existence by human thought and feeling, but had also pre-dated them.

I hear a distant cry of surprise and warning. I smile, recognizing the moment. Punishment, recognizable after a smirk, days and not for refuse edge is in appearance and warm reverie. I’m the cry recognizing blandness in the ways knives flow across moving soft tissue. Before I approach the outside air I’ve anticipation of something far more disconcerting. I wonder what anticipation could there be in death that can match grey consensus.

I see you hawk the sacrament in a reverie of acquiescence, melt away, and demur. Every one was dead by the end, though they had never lived. The light was going out of both worlds, fading into entropic languor. Elements of character meet your gaze at the corridor, insurgent, red disdain in corrupt augmentations. Talking was a way to ignore the death that was theirs. The stillness, preoccupied, drawn in to that nowhere, has become aware of an odd, embryonic authority. A war dragged on in an arid and hot part of the globe. Elements cry running remnants visible only to me.

P. Emerson, The Cold, Dogface and Thee Exquisite Corpse…

I rescued this from the long dead Gothicboston.org. The world needs more exquisite corpses, linguistic, visual and aural.

Mt. Auburn Cemetery, a gorgeous, hilly place where Mary Baker Eddy lies buried in a coffin equipped with a telephone that functions. I wonder if she has call waiting.

Bedlam’s Among The Dead

The fourth Bedlam was held at Mt. Auburn Cemetary on a none too bad summer’s day. There’s a story behind the Exquisite Corpse’s title, “All I Can Say Is, ‘Thank God for Children and Baby Wipes’ “ … but you’ll have to find someone who’s willing to recount the whole sordid affair.

The scent of you haunts me wherever I turn

The twisting of your eyes so sublime

nothing much to do but sit and break your heart

our lives together never gotten a start

into the void we plunge to the depths of the unknown

cuddling illusions as if they were teddy bears

take the ashes of my memories and scatter them on some distant star

release the shadows not to be forgotten

locked out sick for trading moons away

and far from shining pools we strayed

stunned by the cold chemical shock of insect blood

and thrilled by the touch of a million tiny legs

and arms so frail and fragile, so soon shall break in the breeze

I’m only human — open-love.
I’m way punker than you.
