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.

ORPHAN – Watch now!
HeathenStorm Productions, in association with Dawn of Elysium, presents ORPHAN. A fast-paced journey into the cyberpunk future of another time, ORPHAN tells the story of Jane Doe, played by actress Aida Knight in her screen debut. Isolated and wandering the urban dystopia, haunted by a lonely childhood, she is drawn towards a glossy corporate clinic. Specialists in ‘Temporal Therapy’, they promise to rewind her memory to the moment before her parents died, so she may relive life a different way… … but everything has a cost.

DAWN OF ELYSIUM – Orphan
Back in March, the entire second year of the Academy's Live Event Production course were assessed together across all disciplines. Tasked to put their fledgling talents to the test by collaborating on a video, lighting, and audio production with a live band. In this case, York-based melodic Metallers THESEUS. With song "As Above So Below" allocated for my Visual Design assessment, I helped design their video wall layout, additionally creating content and running the media server as they played.

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/

  • 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

    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…

    Dutch Courage

    The Mentors European Tour starts tonight at Eindhoven Metal Meeting, closing off the small stage with fifty minutes of filth from 00:40. Plenty of time to check them out even if you’re watching the other guys in hoods on the main stage. If you’re there and can get some footage, please send it over! The…

    Start the New Year with Sleaze

    HeathenStorm Productions are thrilled to announce their first tour of 2024. Depraved shock-rock legends MENTORS make their long-dreaded return to the UK, bringing their legacy of obscene filth to a town (reasonably) near you. In association with Etrurian Legion Promotion and local promoters, we’ll be (s)hitting up the following locales in short succession: Thursday 4th…

    This weekend, HeathenStorm Productions are proud to escort Sweden’s Mean Filth Riders, Crank, to their debut UK shows.

    Solstice return to the Stage

    England’s Epic Metal dissidents SOLSTICE are currently preparing to throw down the gauntlet to all would-be tyrants and usurpers.

New material forged in the fires of Wayland’s Smithy is incoming, to be delivered with the bone crushing…

    Looking back at a victorious weekend working with American Doom Metal legends Orodruin, supporting Yorkshire’s Iron Void on the first leg of their 25th Anniversary UK tour.
