Orphan - Now Filming

Testimonials

Whether through good instincts or a strong understanding of the music and themes, Daryl hit the mark visually, and did so quickly. I would certainly trust Daryl to handle future film work for me, knowing that he strives to produce videos which complement the music faithfully.

DAN CAPP
Wolcensmen

Daryl is a consummate professional, utterly dedicated and a lifelong underground mainstay. Not only that, but he has a sense of humour and indecency to rival the lad Loki himself.

DAN EYRE
A Forest of Stars

When Witches Brew showed interest in releasing a music video for Canticle, Daryl was the first person who came to mind. He knew our music, we loved the previous clips he produced, and because of his knowledge in music, literature and arts.

He was capable of entering our world, and understanding it.

    For the Magic of Metal

    I never had “Backing Dancer for Arthur Brown” on my 2025 Bingo card… Metal Magic has always been one of my favourite festivals, having only missed out on a single accessible year since 2014. I’ve always found the chilled out ‘Garden Party’ atmosphere to be appealing, a reflection on the friendliness I’ve experienced in all…

    Midsummer comes around

    Two years ago while en-route to the mountain, I scheduled a weekend layover for a gig and associated debauchery in Arnhem. Sharing the delightful company of dear friend, dancer, occultist, and erotic Priestess Dayenne Neroli. As way of repaying her hospitality and sating mutual creative compulsions, we indulged in an impromptu video shoot. Taking a…

    Crowd Control

    The ORPHAN shoot continues with a trip to the Academy of Live Technology in Yorkshire. There we hosted an ‘Introduction to Film Making’ Workshop for the students’ Enrichment Week. The session opened with an introduction to the project and sneak preview of the storyboard, then covered inspirations and techniques to balance big ideas with a…

    Infidels to the World

    With everything else going on these past weeks, it’s quite possible some may have missed the BBC World Service “In the Studio” report on Tehran-formed Black Metal infidels TRIVAX. Reporter Sahar Zand deftly places the band’s emergence on the international stage in context with the Iranian “Woman, Life, Freedom” movement. A people tyrannised by decades…

  • Meet the Orphan

    Meet the Orphan

    After many setbacks and scheduling conflicts, I am pleased to announce the start of live-action filming for my long-delayed sci-fi short / music video concept – ORPHAN. Initially approached by local band Dawn of Elysium for a simple lyric video, the scope of the project soon demanded greater ambition. A mini-movie invoking a grim future…

  • Trialed by Fire

    Trialed by Fire

    It’s taken a few days to wind down and recover from the madness that was the Deströyer 666 mini-tour. A collaboration between promoters in Scotland and England, and one which came under fire from the first announcement. With both the headliners and Solstice running afoul of cancellation attempts and weaponised grudges, it wasn’t long before…

  • Kings Must Die

    Kings Must Die

    Attendees to the Compulsive Necrophilia UK tour were treated to an utterly electrifying performance by Pantheïst. Although I could only capture a fragment of final epic opus “Kings Must Die”, these eight and a half minutes reflect the captivating energy of their Progressive Funeral Doom.

  • Cult Italian Horror Metal!

    Cult Italian Horror Metal!

    A short video to promote the upcoming ‘Compulsive Necrophilia‘ tour, exhuming Italian Funeral Cultists ABYSMAL GRIEF into the UK this July. Main support for this leg will be from PANTHEÏST, with local Doom acts opening each bill. Together they’ll take in Bristol, Manchester and Brighton before the headliners return to Europe and onwards to Metal…

  • End of Vortex

    End of Vortex

    It is sad in recent weeks to learn of the sudden and permanent closure of Wakefield’s Vortex Bar and Nightclub. Having put on a few shows in recent times, and playing there myself with Solstice, I was immediately impressed by the quality of both sound and staging. A professional, talented crew always worked hard with…

    Battles on the brink of War

    The dust has settled on the English leg of the DIOCLETIAN tour. Five dates of utter devastation across the country. Filling venues to capacity almost every night, with those who missed out eager for more. Ending the tour with the debut UK performance of ABRAXXUM was an inspired conclusion, but each and every show delivered…

  • Abraxxum Rising

    Abraxxum Rising

    With the DIOCLETIAN tour selling out across the UK, we’ve saved a little treat for the final show in Birmingham. Discordant, dissonant, and utterly compelling, we present ABRAXXUM. Occult Power Electronics and Ritual Darkness. A rare (if only) opportunity to witness their Great Work. The Steel Jaws of Choronzom close tight.

  • Storming the Castle

    Storming the Castle

    DIOCLETIAN and TRIVAX are now in the country, and the campaign is very much underway. Tonight the iron fist lays siege to Newcastle, with the bands set up and ready to destroy. We are well on our way to a full house tonight. An auspicious start to the tour and one well earned.
