Medusa, a titular nod to the feared creature from Greek mythology, marks a return to the band’s doom metal roots, prominently featuring bone-crushing guitars and stark lyrical themes throughout the course of the record to ‘herald the loneliness and damp cold of autumn.’
Featuring eight brutal songs (including three bonus tracks), Paradise Lost have also unveiled a snippet of the first single from Medusa, ‘The Longest Winter’. Set for release on Friday July 7, ‘The Longest Winter’ blends typical Paradise Lost melodies with brutal doom moments, which you can catch when the group tours Australia this December.
