HOLY TERRORS

Currently we've been performing our live gigs alongside a video projection which has raised a lot of interest. The films we've used are edited segments of a portmanteau video co-directed by our friend Mark Goodall (alongside Julian Bradley) and released by Obsolete Films in 2017.

Filmed in Whitby, the DVD has its own soundtrack created by composer David Chatton-Barker of Folklore Tapes. We edited three of the six stories to fit within a half hour timespan (The Cosy Room, The White Powder and The Ritual). We also removed their entire soundtracks so we could play our own partly improvised compositions in a live situation. 

Thank you Mark for giving Ammonites permission to radically adapt and mute your work, we really appreciate your kindness.



If you wish to buy a copy of this excellent DVD, it may still be available to purchase. I'd suggest emailing holyterrors@btinternet.com.

Here's a very short clip of us performing Holy Terrors at Cafe Etch, Middlesbrough recorded by Gary Widdowfield...
