Hightstown, NJ/Van Nuys, CA — Before the turn of the new century, Matt Zane was directing pornos laced with original, hard-driving rock soundtracks and tattooed women engaging in uninhibited sexual fantasies. At the time, Zane’s “trademark style” was said by industry watchers to “shock and mock the traditional world of adult entertainment.” But today “alt porn” – porno infused with tattooed honeys and edgy music – is one of the hottest growing segments in adult, and Zane, the recognized father of the genre, is ready to rock-n-shock again in an exclusive deal with Pleasure Productions (www.pleasureproductions.net).

“I come back to the industry after six years and this thing called ‘alt porn’ is huge,” said Zane, who was recognized as Best International Director (1999) at Venus Fair in Germany. “I asked a few people what it was and they tell me it’s porn based around music, tattoos, piercing etc…. I laughed. I didn’t think they were serious. AVN once said that was my ‘trademark style’; now it’s a whole genre. When I started with the whole counter culture thing people in the business thought it was all a joke. Times have changed.”

In Zane’s new series – “Tattooed & Tight” – famous tattoo artists will actually tattoo the performers (some for the first time), who then use the skin artists’ studios for their explicit hardcore scenes. Zane said the first release will feature Dirt, who gained worldwide mainstream media notoriety for inking Britney Spears, and Pleasure’s contract star, Tera Wrey.

Music will also play a major role in the Tattooed & Tight series, said Zane, a renowned rocker who was the first in history to perform before a live crowd while suspended by metal hooks pierced through his back. As front man for the heavy metal band Society 1 (nominated for best live performance in England in 2005 with other great acts such as U2), Zane has toured the world for the past six years, releasing five records, three DVDs, and two music videos. He said The Resistence, a duo of world-traveled artists/producers based in Los Angeles who have worked with groups like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Orgy, and House Of Pain, will create exclusive music for the new series.

“This is already one of the most highly anticipated new series of the year,” said John Paone, Publicity and Marketing Manager for Pleasure. “Matt has an unbelievable amount of energy, and some revolutionary ideas about music and sexual scenarios that will set new standards for this genre. He’s a true craftsman and artist, and he’ll apply the same dedication and thoroughness that has garnered his band worldwide recognition to this ground-breaking new series.”
