The Distortion Project is a Belfast, Northern Ireland based Heavy Metal gig promotions agency and record label. Formed in 2000 with a view to hosting fortnightly metal nights in one of Belfast’s newest night spots (Auntie Annies, on the Dublin Road, Belfast), we quickly established ourselves as gig promoters when we were asked to take over the running of “rocKD” (a shortening of “rock at Katy Dalys.” Katy Dalys is a pub/gig venue situated in the centre of Belfast).

That’s the low down on what they do, and using their new Wordpress website (which means they can control all of the information) they can post about up and coming gigs, new CD releases and get a lot more exposure with greater ease, as before they had to constantly updated their hard coded website… yuck!

And just while I’m in a metal mood, I got around to finally doing the Cork tour poster for Liverpool metal band Carcer City, who are hitting our shores in April.

Check out the Belfast and Cork posters below, created using Adobe Photoshop – and a delightful soundtrack of  ‘ISIS – Wavering Radiant’.

A DIY music video for ‘Nothing Sacred’, clips gathered from www.archive.org/details/stock_footage. A handy place to get open source stock footage.

The video was created using Adobe Premier. Hope you enjoy it!

I’ve had a portfolio site up since I was in final year university, so what’s that…like 3years, not updated nor moving…. yikes!!!!

So to get me moving, I’ve opted for a new wordpress blog/portfolio. I’ve used wordpress quite a few times on some of my projects, so I’m familiar with it, but as always looking to expand my knowledge.

Any way… check out my ‘work’ section for a quick look at what I’ve been up to.

I’ll be updating and adding when I can find the time.

Fair enough? sweet.
