Jacob's Ladder is a 1990 film by Adrian Lyne about a VIetnam War veteran slowly losing his sense of reality. Perhaps it's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder? Perhaps it's something more diabolic and sinister? This clip is made up of two scenes that I flipped from their original running order partially because I felt like the resolve of the chiroprac...

Unfortunately the band itself was only allocated two variants which went into our US and EU webstores. There will likely be limited edition represses in the future and we will do our absolute best to have one made for you guys.

2023-04-18 12:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostThis soundtrack to this clip of On The Silver Globe by Andrzej Zulawski marks the third and final installment of the series on Zulawski's use of doppelgangers, though many more could be done with his other films. In this particular clip the reference is more philosophical than visual as in the previous two- humans have landed and colonized a dis...

2023-04-17 13:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe Third Part of the Night is part two in my trilogy by Polish director Andreij Zulawski on doppelgangers. While last month's clip was set in London, this film is set during the second World War in Nazi occupied Poland. The protagonist is forced by the Nazi's to feed lice for Typhus research after he watches his family murdered by soldiers. In ...

The March video clip will be coming early next week. Apologies for the delay this month, February’s shortness caught up with me and the Stygian Bough shows last weekend have me a bit behind. Wanted to keep you all posted. Stay tuned.
Thanks for being here,

2023-03-01 17:21:54 +0000 UTC View PostThis month's clip is from the film Possession by Andzej Zulawski. This will mark the first in a forthcoming series of various other films he directed, though perhaps not in a consecutive order, where he also incorporates and explores the doppelganger theme. Zulawski's style is erratic, terrifying, and oftentimes confusing, which ultimat...

2023-01-19 21:41:36 +0000 UTC View PostThe Shout is a 1978 film by Jerzy Skolimoski based on a story by Robert Graves. In it, a man claims to have learned an ancient and mostly forgotten method of turning his voice into a weapon that kills all those in its projected path. A musician he befriends finds this claim doubtfully curious and asks to hear it. Grabbing a candle to secretly pr...

Oramunde is a film rendition of the theme from the opera Pelleas et Melisande by Maurice Maeterlinck about a forbidden love between the two title characters. Oramunde was filmed in 1933 and I was captivated the first time I saw it just months ago. The flowing white veil hints at innocence but is a somewhat macabre covering of the entire face and...
2022-11-16 17:47:11 +0000 UTC View PostI've been wanting to do a battle scene for one of these and this clip from Orson Welles' "Chimes At Midnight" was perfect. I think the fast paced camera work and abundant violence pair symbiotically with both the softer and heavily distorted music to amplify both mediums. At first, I hated the ending dialog- Hotspur's grinning face as he deliver...
