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.

BPM SFX Demonstration Day – Academy of Live Technology
An experimental short film improvised over one weekend in February 2026 with the Academy of Live Technology's Postgraduate cohort, at the behest of visiting Multimedia Artist Diana Scarborough. (https://dianascarborough.co.uk/) A meditation on water, flowing around a spoken word performance by student Dami Olagbegi. Soundscape and Foley were recorded by underwater contact mics and hydrophone, with visuals created by filming a tray of pigmented water through an old-style desk projector. My part was to blend these elements together, along with separately supplied stock footage and a little alchemical flavour. Layering down a simple synth soundtrack to mix the recordings into form, and editing the video against an unyielding deadline. https://heathenstorm.com/2026/03/27/fluidity/
FLUIDITY (Experimental Short)
Around Midsummer 2023, I shoot some impromptu footage in Arnhem with my dancer friend Dayenne Neroli. Shelved for many years, it was later repurposed as promo reels for her performance at Occulture 2025 with the Esoteric Order of Ouroboros. Although originally shot in landscape, the switch to a phone-friendly portrait aspect didn't work out too bad. https://heathenstorm.com/2025/06/11/midsummer-comes-around/

    Impromptu Projections

    While most folk were down in London for the big Black Metal shindig last weekend, I was back home in slightly cosier surrounds. Supporting local prog-goth rockers, (and old friends), Dawn of Elysium at the Lending Room in Leeds. As we’ve been working together on a sci-fi short film in recent months, I prepared some…

    After the Manifestation

    A worthy weekend was spent in the service of Subterranean Manifestation III; an uncompromising all-day assault of Death, Black and especially War Metal in the capital. With the show itself magnificently arranged by Subterranean Promotions, I was drafted in for the essential duty of delivering the artists to and from the airport and venue. Driving…

  • London locked in

    London locked in

    The lineup for the London show has locked in nicely, with kudos to Morbid Angle for curating such a barbaric bill. Joining DIOCLETIAN and TRIVAX on stage we have BLOOD CHALICE (FI) and GORGON VOMIT (UK). A stacked bill for a Tuesday, so make sure to turn up early for an evening of apocalyptic excess!…

    Nexian March

    Much gratitude to the many promoters and venues who’ve already been in contact to take on this spring’s DIOCLETIAN UK tour. We’re reviewing the offers over the weekend and will get back in touch with everyone once we’ve hammered out the routing. In the meantime, an opening salvo from new album “Inexorable Nexus”, out this…

    My Week with the Mentors

    This was never going to be an easy tour. Trouble started once the announcement was made, with a clandestine call to cancel one of the shows leaving me on the backfoot towards finding a replacement. Having support bands become less available than hoped also threw some surprises my way. With energies devoted to resolving the…

    The Reviews are In!

    “No hate to Scream & Shake Horror Bar or Hot Pink Sewage, but mentors acted out of line tonight, flashed ass and pubes at an 18 year old, and laughed about it afterwards, and had to be told to piss off multiple times King’s of sleaze indeed, sleaze bags”

  • Under the Hood

    Under the Hood

    It’s been a frantic few weeks pulling everything together for the MENTORS tour, with complete line-ups only secured as the New Year ticked into being. An exhausting endeavour, although I’m never one to back away from such challenge. Given timing and circumstance, I knew this wouldn’t be an easy ride. Cancellations and complaints forced swift…

    The Year that Was…

    Fully reflecting the contemplative spirit of 2023’s waning hours, I look back upon a successful twelve months with HeathenStorm Productions and the bands I’ve had privilege to work alongside. Doing my part for old friends and UK scene stalwarts has always been one aspect of why I do what I do. But beyond that, it’s…

  • In Defence of Offence

    In Defence of Offence

    It’s no secret that MENTORS have drawn ire in their half-century of history. Starting in the 1970s with the “I Can” attitude of youthful rebellion, these offensive upstarts pioneered the Shock Rock genre through their indomitable lyrics and style. Appalling, gross, and tongue planted firmly in collective cheek, this band were here to repulse and…

    Into the Vortex

    We’re all very pleased to announce the Mentors UK Tour is finally back up to full strength! Replacing the cancelled Newcastle date with a welcome Yorkshire exclusive on Monday 8th January. A very special gig this one, as it will be the first of hopefully not-too-many fundraiser shows for Wakefield’s Vortex Bar and Nightclub. Helping…
