The Medea Project

Uitheems Geduister #397 Ergens tussen een kapotte drumcomputer en het gefluister van een neonlamp die zichzelf niet meer vertrouwt, begint de week opnieuw: op de rand van de nacht, waar ritmes kruipen als katten met staal…

Outliers of the dark, underground music scene, margin walkers and explorers of the shadow places that lie between the known and the accepted, The Medea Project have built a reputation for inscrutable, indefinable and deeply affecting music through albums like Sisyphus and the critically acclaimed Kharon. Then, in the early days of the Spring just passed, they pushed the boundaries of their sound even further with the hypnotic Akkadian Artefacts EP - a collection rich in beguiling, bewildering magic born from a collaboration with Lucifer X of anti-pop band St Lucifer…and now they have another secret from those sessions to share with us.

On June 27th The Medea Project will be appearing at the Darker Days Festival in Leicester, a three-day Gothic celebration also featuring the likes of Guillotine Dream, The March Violets, Salvation and many more esteemed practitioners of sombre dreaming. To mark the occasion the band are unveiling a new two track single, Komēn: Facets, featuring never before heard music. 'Purgatory Release' is a fevered reimagining of the 'Purgatory Trapped' track that appeared on Kharon, a recording held back from the Akkadian Artefacts sessions. It is accompanied by 'In Purgatory: Trapped' - the original and very different incarnation of 'Purgatory Trapped', resurrected and reshaped from the Kharon demos. 'Purgatory Release' is built upon frenetic beats and driven by pulsing synths. A raw, fierce vocal intones its lyrics of resignation and desolation and it is infused with a late-night club, strobe light delirium, entwined with a subliminal melancholy and an aura of decaying technology. In contrast 'In Purgatory: Trapped' is both haunting and haunted, steeped in isolation, sadness and regret. The sound of a lonely vigil beneath a flickering, dying streetlight, its simple revolving melody leading you ever deeper into the night, ever closer to final, irrevocable decisions.

2026 is unfolding into a remarkable year for The Medea Project. It began with the Live At Dingwalls release, followed by the Akkadian Artefacts EP and now the Komēn: Facets single - with more live shows to follow Darker Days, including the band's first European tour. And maybe, just maybe, something primal, something blacker is waiting in the wings… Enjoy the two sides of the same dream that Komēn: Facets has to offer - and beware the coming of night.

Something dark was born in Cannock last night………The first Insurgency event was everything- raw, atmospheric and utterly unforgettable. Massive respect to Aaron Nguyen for making it happen and to every soul who walked through those doors and make the room feel like home - thank you for your participation in keeping the underground alive.
