NEWS: The Medea Project ride in on the crest of a wave!

Ahead of the release of their new album “Kharon” on 20th June, The Medea Project have shared “Upon Your Bones (Stygian Surf)” cut from it conjoined to a disorientating and hypnotic video music video. Said to be a celebration of darkness and shadow, an intermingling of gothic atmosphere, doomed melancholy, rotten death metal and fierce black metal the record will be celebrated on its release date with a launch show at Dingwalls 2 in London that same night, alongside My Silent Wake and The River.

Band frontman Brett Minnie has spoken about the song – the music and lyrics – and that remarkable video: “Lyrically Upon Your Bones is a narrative track that centres around the lost and the damned unable to pay Kharon to ferry them across the Styx. I tried to capture the raw desperation they are feeling and how they would almost swarm the unwary traveller to try and find a way into the afterlife. Musically we wanted to capture the push and pull of the damned trying desperately to find passage. We started jamming around a post punk/surf rock idea when we originally started writing for Kharon and as the song progressed so it became nastier and more distorted. Ultimately it has been subverted into black metal.
