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 to the world's state during the posthistoric era of God's overt (apocalyptic) reign, immediately preceding the end of the world.
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.
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 form of Eschaton & Celebration.
Veil of Thorns are known for covering much ground sonically and conceptually. There is the punk-noir and lyrical meditations on being an outsider and lubrication of the wheels of empire on Vampire Wars. There is the musical hall of mirrors and dispatches from the charred
fields of the apocalypsis of the act of artistic creation found on the twin albums Necrofuturist and Salon Apocalypse.
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.

Inner Moonlight
Where the casting was of the night
On my name, hubris, persuasion
Clouded that summit
The majestic filth which ill eclipses miracle
Oh, we will always have the spark
On which the shadows scream
Inner moonlight
Unseeing, dark illusion led
Flitting, never a sin, in knowledge
Art in exploitation
Inner moonlight
Holy, sad story, august and light
And we shared in the promise
A wintertime deceased
Inner moonlight
Decedent's stark fall
Gutters contorted
Waste moon
Aspect of my sown subconscious
Two wounds that are fire to heat
Angel limbo scripted
Devising most to resurrect it
Slithers out with profusion
From Nameless thought
Inner moonlight
Unseeing, dark illusion led
Flitting, never a sin, in knowledge
Art in exploitation
Inner moonlight
Holy, sad story, august and light
And we shared in the promise
A wintertime deceased
Inner moonlight
Inner moonlight
Unseeing, dark illusion led
Flitting, never a sin, in knowledge
Art in exploitation
Inner moonlight
Holy, sad story, august and light
And we shared in the promise
A wintertime deceased
Inner moonlight
The stories of tensions
Absconds with public amusement
To meet some mad thing's eyes
Inner Moonlight
Scattered written torture you made reality
We mask the fascination too poor
Inner moonlight
