South African, now based in the UK, The Medea Project has offered a stunning video for the first single, "The Ghosts Of St Augustines MMXXII", from its new EP Reflections, scheduled for release on 28 April through Trepanation Recordings. The video which was created by Phat Mandem Productions awaits you in the player below.
Drawing on doom metal and gothic rock and infusing the resulting blend with a raw, primitive power and arcane atmosphere, the new EP Reflections will thrill those who have embraced their firelight rituals and utterly confuse those who were never meant to understand... Featuring two interpretations of their own "The Ghosts Of St Augustines", which appeared in its original form on The Medea Project's debut album, Sisyphus, and shocking covers of classic songs by Motörhead, Venom and Tiamat, Reflections takes the known and transforms it into the unknown. Familiar sounds become treacherous as The Medea Project turns out the lights and rearranges the sonic furniture, creating a maze of tricks and traps. Yet, for all the manipulation of form and application of shadows, there will be no cries of "blasphemy!" in response to The Medea Project's work. They have retained the essence of the three hallowed bands whose work they have embraced, and there is reverence within the warped forms of these newborn mutations. As for "The Ghosts Of St Augustines", those troubled spirits have become hungrier and more haunting than ever.
The upcoming EP features some brilliant artwork created by Daniel Bollans of the death/doom metal outfit Consecration. The hand-drawn image hides a myriad of secrets - suitable for the music it accompanies. Look deep into The Medea Project's carnival mirror of dreams, nightmares and wonders and discover a world which exists between the last moments of dusk and the darkness of the night. Link
