The Guatemalan Sinkhole

WTF is this?? Hell opened up in Guatemala this week after they were battered by a tropical storm that left approx.100 people dead. This sinkhole apparently appeared over night and sucked up a house and a three-storey building. The craziest natural phenomenon that I have seen in ages...

Iron Sky The Moon Nazis Are Coming

Check this Film Synopsis Out: Towards the end of World War II the staff of SS officer Hans Kammler made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity.

From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45 to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the dark side of the Moon. This base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right.

Now it’s 2018, the Nazi invasion is on its way and the world is goose-stepping towards its doom.




Now if that isn't the beginning of an amazing movie..then I don't know what's wrong with this world....

Damien Walters King of Brit Parkour

This guy is smashing it in the Parkour scene in the UK. I was put onto him by OneSixthBruce and will be definitely following his progress this year. His 2009 showreel is incredible and his 2010 one is even better.

GodMachine Dark Mystical Metal Art

‘Godmachine Lives in South Wales, Uk with his wife, two cats and his beard. Inspired in his youth by skatebording and comics and being self taught, Godmachine has managed to carve a space for himself and make a huge impact on the merch world...and soon everywhere else..’ he has worked with so many great bands and festivals on their artwork and has really carved a decent living out of dark art. I love what he's doing and am definitely planning on getting on of his prints!






See ALOT more of his psycho-cool artwork HERE.

Chris Cunningham AV Set At Southbank Centre

I had the pleasure of going to see a mad event at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank last night with Irieman. It was part of the Ether 10 festival and consisted of the space-rock band created by Portishead's Geoff Barrow, 'Beak' playing live, followed by a 60 min. Audio/Visual assault by psycho-director and video artist, Chris Cunningham. (Aphex Twin, Bjork etc.) & then a DJ set by Squarepusher...

I left the Festival Hall wanting more to be honest. Beak weren't that great imho and I couldn't wait for Chris Cunningham to take the stage. When he did finally appear, his ideas/themes/cinematography did not fail to impress!

For a solid 60 min. the images were bordering on insanity. Lots of close-ups of flesh/body parts all set to a dark breakcore/acid techno/IDM soundscape. It was actually a great mixture of horror and beauty all skillfully timed to the mad soundtrack.

There's something about Chris' timing and editing that keeps you riveted. Everyone's tried synchronising Audio & Visual together before, but for some dark reason, Cunningham's videos still have the stylistic edge over other contemporary directors.

Squarepusher seemed to be having technical difficulties with either his mixer or the decks and for 15 min. all you could hear was this droning sound going round in circles. That was also a bit of a let down. We didn't have the patience to sit it out and decided to head back to Irieman's to smoke some trees and draw....(Luckily, we have both seen Squarepusher a number of times, so it wasn't too much of a biggie that we missed him)
