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…

Behind the Merch table
I recently had the privilege of working the merch table for melancholic doom siren Jayn Maiven’s DARKHER, as she played a packed out local show at The Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. One of my favourite musicians, as well as a good friend; it’s always a delight to be part of the crew – whether…

A New Year’s Missive
In this interim week of crapulent self-indulgence, there’s nothing more fitting (unlike one’s trousers) than looking back over the past twelve months. A year which has seen triumph and tragedy alike.

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…

Something (rather than nothing)
Back in January 2022, I had the privilege of being interviewed by Rachel Lally for the Art and Philosophy podcast Something (rather than nothing). Over the course of an hour, we covered an eclectic mix of esoteric subjects. Starting with the humble village life, and finishing somewhere around the end of the universe. Along the…

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…
