Joseph Delaney builds a genuinely creepy atmosphere in his slow-burning gothic chiller for Manchester rock band Witch Fever. 

Delaney generates an intense sense of foreboding through lead singer Amy's increasingly unhinged performance, in the bare room of a large house, striking editing and in-camera effects. The use of sudden single frame edits in Jed Darlington-Roberts' richly colourful cinematography is particularly unsettling.     

'Had so much fun mining my favourite gothic stories, delving into the depths of hysteria and further indulging my pyromania for northern metal coven Witch Fever’s incredible new release The Garden,” says Joseph Delaney.

"Inspired by the symbol-laden lyrics and emotive push and pull of their new music, we imagined a northern gothic story that treads the line between the supernatural, psychological torment and the blurred line that can exist between them in a mind that’s in the midst of a moment of unhinging - something I’m not all too unfamiliar with…

"Thanks to Witch Fever and team for having us, to my team that threw themselves into this (and were possibly latched onto by a sinister spectre along the way) and watch this space for more soon."
