There Is No Tomorrow
Principal photography has begun on my most ambitious video project yet. Working with Progressive Gothic Rock band Dawn of Elysium on a combination of music video and sci-fi short. More details will be released as the project develops, but the first day of shooting was a tremendous success. Working in Studio Five at Keighley’s Jam On Top

A Tale of Two Triangles
Recently, Trismegistus Hex have been made aware of “Par Antra II: TAA”, the latest release by long-established Finnish Ritual Ambient project Halo Manash. We were understandably concerned by the similarity of the artwork of this release to our 2022 EP “Invocations under a Dark Star” – and to a lesser extent the layout of our

A Shortcut to Gnosis
Fresh from the positive reception of published debut “The Womb of the Wyrm“, Equinox kindly requested a second story. This one for their follow-up Esoteric Horror anthology “Tras el Velo” (Under the Veil) I naturally leapt at the opportunity to work with the publishers again. Once more, I would submit my prose in English, and

The Womb of the Wyrm
Back in 2015, I was approached by Spanish eBook publishers Equinox to contribute a short story to their Esoteric Horror anthology “Junto a la Hoguera” (By the Bonfire) Having churned out reasonable prose through earlier endeavours, the challenge was eagerly accepted. The editors would translate my scribblings into their native tongue, so I could relax

Burning Chaos
Another lyric video collaboration with German Label Witches Brew. Heralding the physical release of “Maleficus Sabbatum”, the sophomore album from renowned US Black Metal project A.I.D.S. Aiming for a more abstract, psychedelic vibe than the genre would expect or imply. This video takes a trip through occult symbolism and Lycanthropic Magick to deliver the bestial

Domination
A lyric video collaboration with German label Witches Brew and Swedish Thrashers Morphetik. “Domination” demanded a direct statement, juxtaposing military archive footage from the past century alongside artwork from upcoming album “Proclamation of War”. Exploring through dissonant imagery how the voting process can empower harsh realpolitik. It was a pleasure to work with both band

Bradford Invades Britain
Way back at the turn of the century, November 2000 to be precise; The Enchanted threw together a small UK tour alongside Bradford bands Bloodstream and Purity Cries. Our first extended endeavour, we found great success in overcoming the challenges of getting to and from venues and making sure folk turned up. With an aesthetic

The Weird Mansion
A Lovecraftian lyric video for Italian newcomers Canticle, who requested my services by name when label Witches Brew suggested they visualise the opening track of their debut EP – Mortem Tyrannis. Although the first draft of this project was more ambitious, more animated, and a little more tongue in cheek; it was ultimately decided to

Stand & Fight
A quick and dirty video thrown together for “Legendary” Audio Terrorists Sore Throat in May 2022. Deliberately rough around the edges, with hastily hand-scrawled lyrics atop archive footage from the Poll Tax riots of March 1990. These things don’t have to be sophisticated to make a point.

Xavier
“Eve bears the stigma of Original Sin.” A parable of Faith and Treachery, XAVIER is a short film created over three days in April 2022 to accompany the Mythological Dark Folk of Wolcensmen. A haunting cover of the original by Dead Can Dance, I was inspired to visualise the emotional and spiritual resonance of the
