An experimental multimedia project using the name Choronzon has existed since the late eighties, beginning as two separate and unknown cassette-culture projects, one from the west coast of the United States and the other from the eastern USA. When the internet made each project aware of the other, they fused these into one project. As of 2012 , they operate the domains for the name Choronzon under .org, . net, and .info, and have released several albums on CD as well as publishing a printed book, Panic Pandemic. Claiming that what they do is not merely music, but also actual magick acts fused into it, the project's works are distributed through both underground and over-ground means. The ″demon″ Choronzon is cited as an actual member of the project, part of which has centered on extending the mythos around this entity past the Thelemic version of Choronzon into a modernized ″post-abyssal″ one, presenting Choronzon as an anti-hero and demigod, after becoming a reversed Satan in the form of a ″risen demon″. An invocation of Choronzon forms the basis for an episode of Hammer House of Horror entitled "Guardian of the Abyss". The episode was also the inspiration for the album Choronzon by British blackened death metal band Akercocke. Thrash/metal band "Megadeth" mentions Choronzon in their song "Looking Down the Cross" from their 1985 album, Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! A demon named Choronzon appears several times in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. A demon named Coronzon appears in the light novel To Aru Majutsu no Index targeting the character Aleister Crowley. Choronzon is one of the collectible demons in the Shin Megami Tensei series of games. Choronzon is the name of a god-like posthuman character in Karl Schroeder's science fiction novels Ventus and Lady of Mazes. Choronzon is the title of a song from Tangerine Dream's 1981 album Exit. Choronzon is the title of the 2003 album by blackened death metal band Akercocke. Choronzon is featured in the 2009 horror film Necromentia. In Graham McNeill's Horus Heresy novel A Thousand Sons, Book 12 of the Horus Heresy book series, Choronzon appears as a persona of the Chaos God Tzeentch, and calls himself "Dweller in the Abyss" and "Daemon of Dispersion". The novel The Trick Top Hat, a book of the trilogy Schrödinger's Cat by Robert Anton Wilson, features Choronzon. He appears to Joe Malik when having sex with Carol Christmas because her husband cursed her with a loa. Choronzon's symbol is a prominent part of the cult hit TV series, Twin Peaks. Bob, the demon terrorizing the town is believed by some to be a version of Choronzon. Annette Marie's popular book series, "Steel and Stone," includes this horrific beast. She describes them as such, "Choronzons were a type of Underworld creature. They were bestial, simpleminded, and irrevocably, mercilessly violent." Chase The Dark, Annette Marie. Chronozon is mentioned in the song, Satanachist by Venom [Possessed album]. On 17 February 2021 Andrew WK released the video clip for his single “Babalon”. The song features occult and Thelemic lyrical content addressing Babalon as “mother of mankind”, the Abyss and ego death. The video clip (which utilizes esoteric symbolism including the Rose Cross and focuses on themes of duality, annihilation and regeneration of the self) closes with the coded statement “Consciousness hasn’t opened reality, only nightmares. Zone-out now.”, an acrostic of Choronzon. Andrew WK has previously worked explicitly with occult and Thelemic themes in his work, having released an album entitled Mother Of Mankind in 2010.
