Throw it to the wind, tonight, my dearies…

Transmission:
Let it be known I claim New Year’s Eve as the high holiday for any 333-resonant person, as I am grabbing it from alcoholic dull mediocrity and using it as the true magick thing it really is, which is the END OF THE JUDEOCHRISTIAN HOLIDAYS and the stresses and strains they bring, the end of the crap both spiritual and economic we associate with ‘the Christmas season’.
As an arbitrary digit, the count of a solar year could be pointed out on any day of the calendar but world wide there is recognition of this date as a rebirth phenomenon. But this is when it is done, therefore, having no other meaning, I claim it as my own WHILE still not attaching my name TO it. Not me!
Those who know don’t tell, those who tell don’t know.
Let resonants be free to their chosen excesses, if for this sole and only day, for the rest of the year involves mundane concern after mundane concern…
On this one date, though: people choose – globally – to be aware of Time, and thus their lives within it are highlighted.
Let my colours be great and resplendant: halide orange-yellow and the sparks like moon-green glowing confetti. I share with whomever would have me. They may paint me as they please.
But know, on this of all dates, 333-Resonants, I AM WITH YOU the MOST. Whoever you are. However low your state. I will wait for you.
This is also ‘my’ holiday because it now represents, in addition to the above, my apologia to Creation for my having broken time, long before it was possible for matter and energy to exist. That’s what got me thrown into the Abyss to begin with – an accident of, though it is lamely put, “youthful indiscretion’. I am a far older ‘god’ than I once was; occupying living space has taught ME much, too.
Ride my Current, surf this curl and LIVE!

Apocalypse Not
A gift from one of our longterm Dislodge inner-circle, who wishes anonymity at this time…There shall be more to come.
“They prate in their proud, vengeful lasciviousness. They must ever speak, speak, speak, millions of mad voices in millions of mad brains. Without force or cunning, a hundred times have they leaped, without readiness.
They make living things their gold, and their gold a living thing. They would make the Earth their concubine. They writhe and dig for Her Blackness, and gnaw at Her spine.
So ready to speak and so slow to watch, by their own talk does their vigilance weary. They understand neither the pentagram nor the triangle. They would see us all writhing on the hot sands of hell…”
///Consummation//\Metanoia\\\
I was set to be on an adventure most peripatetic for this month, but it turned out that the current had something else growing, something that revealed itself only when those who were moved to jump in with me came through with their parts of the vortextual effectuational aural spectacle released this week.
Getting ready for a string of shows had me retreating from the outer world with my guitar and, as always when I spend quality time with an instrument, the massive love for playing guitar of old was rekindled. Add to this the standup bass of Ferenc Teglas and BALEYYG wielding storms of demonic sonics, the Choronzonic Bacchanalia of glossolalia flow was not to be controlled.
There’s a wall to wall video treatment created for this as well, for those ready to receive a xenotransmission straight through the third eye is delivered.
CHORONZON
///CONSUMMATION//\METANOIA\
(2012) PANICMACHINE11/05/2012 – As they round out the twenty-sixth year mark in their career, experimental Industrial Blackmetal act CHORONZON continue to build on an ever expanding pallette with their most varied, unusual and harrowing release to date.
Just in time for the apocalypse and completed as a major storm makes landfall on the US East Coast comes a new album from the chaotes of Choronzon. The Consummation of metanoia is the pain of the psyche growing into new states of being. The Consummation of metanoia is the overwhelming transcendence even of healing to a transformation beyond the human to the essence of being human. A joyful opening to psychosis as means of preparation for easier adaptation. An embrace of fragility as a way to feel the full force of one’s strength.
With ///Consummation//\Metanoia\\\ Choronzon completes a creative and narrative arc that began with Ziggurat Of Dead Shibboleths. The code of esoteric insight broken, freedom declared under cover of night and now the mind is transformed and chakras are open. This album is the Veil of Maya lifting as the inner being is revealed after many lifetime’s of journey through war and illusion.
Choronzon are opening up to yet another set of unexplored worlds on this, featuring electric standup bass, keys and percussion from Ferenc Teglas and the multiversal soundscapes of BALEYYG. “We gathered through astral projection to a pre-determined catacomb to generate the sounds by spectral means.” Says Choronzon chaote P. Emerson Williams on the process of creating ///Consummation//\Metanoia\. “Between the three of us we really tapped into multiple streams.” declares Ferenc Teglas. “I got to experience the 333 current as a whispering voice in the distance. This is a very unique album.” Says BALEYYG.

…What about the music on this album? It’s difficult to put it in any mould. Of course it’s black, but is it metal? It’s also industrial and ambiental, it has doomy elements and lot’s of electronics and noise, there is a lot of drone and sludge. Songs can’t be separated from this entirety because only as a whole it gives the right picture of what’s about. Anyway, take this album as a sinister and notorious journey through some of the most diabolical soundscapes ever recorded…
Choronzon have achived what is rare in the underground of today. With dusty and rough production, hypnotic vocal job and culminating atmospheres they deliver an outstanding ritualistic avantgarde musical experience. It’s chaos in sound or better said chaos and magick framed into music.

Riders of the 333 Current have to be able to track the rolling wave of it after all.
But they do that with their brains and this one’s not fritzing. Actually I am merely testing the WP posting app for my Droid.
More Addenda
The art and textuality folders for the connective albums of the 2005 New World Chaos Workings – the New World Chaos album itself and its counterpart Complicity/Simplexity – have been finally linked to the Choronzon.org site.
WARNING: a LOT of CSS was broken and still needs attention. For now, ignore the boxed navigator icon in the MIDDLE of the tables beneath each page that connects to each track. The navigation will be made both easier to use and more aesthetically in tune, but Ms. Thraam can’t take any more of Techgnosis’ confusing new internet-internautics without a) losing her mind, and b) possibly breaking something Emerson did on the site. I worked long and hard tonight to put the .info domain into shape, and doing New World Chaos, incompletely yet, exhausted me utterly. However, the good news is that both NWC and C/S – tracks, texts and paintings done by Choronzon West – are onsite at last.
There’s still so much more to do: the whole Escapes folder, the O6x3 page (a precious rite in every way) and the rest of the flotsam that never got PUT ON THE OLD SITE whilst I was stuck in Nullworld. And then there’s Escape From Nullworld, About half of the art is done, some of it good, some of it will probably have to be done over. CHORONZON demands the best of me.
If there’s any messes on either domain that you notice, you’ll have to comment here or email me, and make me aware of them. I’m out of steam, and need to collapse into the starry void of CHORONZON’s rewarding arms. I know my xenodimensional Love is proud of me for facing my fear of the new technology and just going at it head-on. I also know doing it is an immense relief to me. If I can do this, I can do the rest…
Choronzon.Info Is Finally Activated!
It has taken an ungodly amount of work just to get these pages to look like they did on the old site – lots of link changing, CSS-changing (much of which still needs work) and suchlike…THERE WILL BE ERRORS in the meantime until I track them all down and step on them.
I noticed people I just recently met have no access to writings on CHORONZON the namesake entity that are positive. In fact, one of them was a counselor of mine. This was the camelback straw point: I do NOT want there to be a big gap where all the material on the post-abyssal CHORONZON used to be.
Where it used to be, on our old site, was a folder called the Grinnoire, which itself contained a special “Akolasia Chamber” for the negative, abyssal CHORONZON writings. We – unlike cults and religions – are not afraid of you seeing the negative about our ally! Though there’s not much there – I like to concentrate on post-abyssal material and that which fits in that context.
At present, the domain http://choronzon.info is up and all the Grinnoire materials – the page of essays and writings and links to the diorama (visual representations of CHORONZON by both Project members and others) and the AURICAL room, which contains mp3 files from other bands who’ve referenced CHORONZON in their music) is now open to the public. And with this good news an invitation is extended to send any writing, art or soundwork you’ve done on the 333 current, or associated with it, to the Choronzon West cell for inclusion in this library.
The .info domain is focused on who/what our Namesake Entity Itself is and has been about, to both ourselves and others across the netverse of Techgnosis; it does not focus on our own work with the Project, though there are some still visuals that Emerson and I have done there, and some of my rants and screeds. (Some more recent ones can be found at the blog called Dances With Eidolons; eventually, that site may be fused with choronzon.info or possibly exist on its own with the better spaced-out rantings of yours truly that get put there copied and placed in the “shelves” of the Grinnoire, This is the CHORONZON entity’s library of neometaphysical blitherings and represents the .info domain of the Triunity…)
Choronzon.org will always be the Central Project site: come here to see videos and listen to the music/noise/sound-sculpture we do. There won’t be explanations here, getting in the way of your own reactions…
The next phase of producing the Triunity is to link up the multimedia project works from the prior double-zero decade, which have been sitting on the server, inaccessibly, due to broken links and terrifyingly messed-up style sheets which must be repaired. They need to be linked into the WordPress system somehow without damaging the blog – it is probably easier to do than I think it is…but I get put off by all the changes in HTML and CSS that happened in the past five years or so…
That was during my time in Nullworld’s strange but horrible combination of Hell and Sanctuary – the place those who experience heavy trauma go when they’ve mistakenly panicked enough to essentially perform something like emergency emotionectomy surgery upon their own minds…and which I only got out of, after a long, long time and lots of pitfalls, pratfalls and just plain mistakes. That is the theme of the album which some day soon will finally see release – the music is done, the texts are written – all that must be completed is the graphic novel vignette that I discovered, with much fright, has to be done by hand, without the use of a computer. (What 15 years of using ‘undo’ will do to an artist can be dangerous!)
Anyway, after our past releases are all linked up, I will enter the most difficult part of this whole web schmeer – opening Choronzon.net as a separate site, the third and final domain of the Triunity, and making it home for a forum of some sort, a two-way communication with both East and West Cells of the Project – as well as a tongue-in-cheek (most likely) means for the Entity CHORONZON to ‘text’ with you…(Currently, Choronzon.net simply forwards here, to .org – but hopefully, it won’t TOO much longer!)
CHORONZON – FIAT NOX Complete In Video
A termite mound still alive with activity though burning. What is being
built is being torn down and chewed up right behind the workers. This is
the purpose of life and foundation for the evaluation of the worth of
each inhabitant of the hive. they believe this will stave off the chaos
that has been declared by the night.
Beyond those doors – An outline of execution was heard during the disturbances as an exit from a physical space and the fictional nightmare. Don’t look too close. In end you’ll believe. A king in Yellow, neurotransmitters extend through quantum states, a POMO economy and culture renders all attemps at understanding and manipulation futile.
The moment when an empire is in a freefall, the point of evocation when the entity is undoubtedly and fearsomely manifest, when one is on the path and there can be no going back. In the Abyss there is no time, nor space. The only way out is through and the only way to emerge is to leave yourself there. The biggest crimes are committed with the help of armies and authorities, so freedom has to be declared by the night.
A manifestation of the Art in flesh, medium of spirit immersed in a pool of your own lifeblood. Smoke of dragon’s blood and wormwood and the projection solidifies a demon — your only company.
Choronzon and Battle Magick
New World Chaos
The following is a letter that appeared in issue 270 of Fortean Times in answer to the article “The Magical Battle of Britain” which appeared in Fortean Times issue 267.
Normally, the attention we get via conspiracy/anomaly/reptilian spotters is fearful and negative, so it’s good to have a little understanding.
Iraq War Workings
In “The Magical Battle of Britain” [ FT267:34-41], Dave Evans and David Sutton ask: Who, if anyone, is doing magic regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to what ends?”
I came across the following snippet on the internet, in a comment about the (unrelated but spooky) “Wyoming Incident” TV interception hoax:
“In occult circles, the number 333 is associated with an “entity” (which exists if you believe in it, and does not if you do not) called “Choronzon”. It was once described in various magickal texts (notably by Aleister Crowley) as a demon that is the “most dreaded of all the forces of evil”. There are others who find Choronzon more complex and interesting the a “devil”. Two of them decided to use the name for a project…..a music project, though it’s more than just a band. I believe these videos might be a bit of fallout from that project even though their creators do not likely know this (unless someone told them!)
“a few years ago, there was an extended “working” called New World Chaos…in which these two individuals- one based in California, one in Florida- enacted a program for this entity Choronzon to follow….one that was supposed to bring about various subtle changes to the subconscious American under-mind.
Stretchawake
“Essentially, various cultural fabrics of the USA were to become unravelled- particularly the ones involved with mindless patriotism and monotheism. Other threads were to knit themselves. It was all supposed to implant via this entity Choronzon- or just the idea, maybe?- into the country’s mass mind.
“The event had many results. There was a distinct anti-Bushist slant to this particular work and so it is rather interesting to note that the House resolution to impeach Bush ended up being H.R. 333. The year that the ritual was done was the year Katrina happened and that point the tide of public opinion, which had run in majority favor of Bush and of the war in Iraq, did turn, in that year, to the opposite pole. It is one of the most successful magickal workings in recent times, and these hoax videos are yet more evidence that there was some effect, albeit scattered, from the strange doings of this pair. It makes one wonder what could happen were they truly focused….or if there were more individuals involved.”

Magog Agog Becoming Visualized…
A couple video treatments for tracks from Magog Agog, which is the closest to normal metal we have ever gotten. It has been my ambition to have video for all Choronzon sonic creations, and as my own efforts improve, and valued fans and collaborators create their own (we encourage this, just let us know, so we can share) earlier attempts will be revisited, tweaked and improved.
Much is to come in 2012, in the meanwhile, roll that beautiful Blackened Electro-Metal footage…
Listen Long Enough, Choronzon Listens Back…
So, yes, we have two soundcloud accounts, and I wouldn’t rule out a third one being opened for the purpose of bi-coastal creations. In any case, there is much media in store. While I have been hard at work over at Inner-X-Musick, I’ve been relatively inactive over there. That will soon change as works in process near completion.
Coming up shortly is FIAT NOX on CD and possibly flac download. You can hear a few samples above and the entire thing on Spotify, or in your browser on Rdio along with some other recent releases: http://www.rdio.com/#/artist/Choronzon/ all for the low, low price of nowt.

Book of Dead Shibboleths – Videos of Dead Shibboleths
We’re building, tinkering, weaving in the undergrowth here, much in the works, and the pace shall accelerate exponentially. Meanwhile, what we have here is the entire Ziggurat of Dead Shibboleths album in video. Visualizations of this monster lovingly crafted by the genius Ferenc Teglas. Go full screen, go loud and ride out the dissolution of all you know. Some of the music is different from the CD and iTunes versions, special mixes created exclusively for the videos.
Below are the images and words for absorption in the quiet of the aftermath afterglow…
My Sheep
Soundcloud is functional.
To test it I grabbed “My Sheep” out of the dim recesses of unreleased qippothic bits and pieces; it is really just a huck-and-spit at Christian illogic made sometime in 2006. But there’ll be more instant-release Choronzon tracks that enter our reality via this fabulous widgety-thang.
Everyone’s talking Cloud this, Cloud that, and mostly it’s good though I never want to count on it for all my files, either. Now what if there really was a Wilhelm Reichian “cloudbuster”? Someone’s probably inventing one as I speakwrite this.
There is Nothing Wrong With Your Computer Screen
We have not been in control of the vertical, horizontal, blur or sharpness for half a decade at Choronzon.org, but this is all coming to an end…at long last.
Ms. Thraam, Webmeistress for the Choronzon project, has finally pulled her ass out of her head – much to the relief of CHORONZON.
O involvers and involvees, from the inner-circle Resonants thereof, all the way down to the merely half-curious or even completely accidental passer-by: she says to thee: Hold on, wouldja, for just a wee bit longer, por favor?
Having waited this damned long for something to happen in the way of even a single update to the Choronzon project site for half a decade, you would have seen it, over that time, continue to remain frozen as it appeared in the autumn of 2006: exactly as it had looked when her “uncommon outlaw marriage” went south, as though this had somehow taken all her ability to recognise HTML and CSS, and operate visisofts and audiosofts, “southward” along with it…
Will you please be just a teeny bit more patient, since you’ve already waited THIS long? Just hold on during the actual process of pulling the look, content, linkage-methodology and device readiness up to speed with the surrounding internet?
CHORONZON and his paramour, and other Partners-in-Creation, can now release a relieved sigh that Ms. Thraam has not died, or remained in walking-wounded condition, and can rejoice that not only will this site return to activity, it will be greater activity than before, owing to better mental state, easier to use software…and to that OTHER big change?
That would be that instead of being just one site, it’s going to be three, now: CHORONZON, after all, does have that thing about triplicity. Ergo, two newly-added domains will now form the Choronzonic Triunity – as soon as they become what they’re supposed to be.
There are still questions to be answered and changes to be made that Der Webmeistress doesn’t know jack about yet, but it’s about time the courage struck strongly enough to tear down completely, and rebuild on flat foundation, what WAS here before.
Essentially, the vault, museum, collection of writings and art by Project members and outsiders alike will reside at the choronzon.info domain, while choronzon.net will be the ground upon which to build a public forum – a true DisLodge at last, along with collaboration software. And this, the .org node, will be the blog, the tunnels to finished workings, and the place where a giant xenodimensional fungoid-looking thing casts its pods into your ear-buds. Yes, there’s access to BlogCast here, so finally a “Radio Free Choronzon” can exist…being that it is, after all, “free” of anything to do with a “radio”…and is instead connected to slabs and bigboxes and whatever hardware you’ll be using in ten years.
We’ll be looking to bring the Project to the ever more mobile net, and have “slab-friendly” versions automatically come up if you’re accessing these links using a slab – whether it be a simple browser on a mobile phone with net capabilities, or an Apple or Google-based ‘smart phone’, or an iPad…whatever the capacity and speed, they’re all slabs. And if you don’t already have one by now–chances are you will soon. So this is important.
It’s hoped that all of this Changing and Arranging won’t force us to relinquish the arty appearance the last site had. Ms. Thraam has an unswerving disgust for the LOOK of most so-called Web 2.0 sites, but it cannot be ignored any longer that the things they do need to be done here or CHORONZON will be lost in an ever-more-crowded web.
He’s not having any of that.
