Medusa Transparent Violet Vinyl

Most people will know Medusa as the Gorgon from Greek mythology she is the infamous beast with venomous snakesfor hair who will turn anyone that dares to look into her eyes to stone. It is this hideous creature who PARADISE LOSThave chosen to be the figurehead for their 15th studio album, as, from a philosophical perspective, she is more thansimply a monster. Singer Nick Holmes started his research, intrigued to find greater meaning behind the symbol ofMedusa and became particularly fascinated by the Gorgons nihilistic connotations. Attempts to avoid looking into hereyes represent avoiding the ostensibly depressing reality that the universe is meaningless, is an idea that was adoptedby American novelist Jack London, and a thought that could have easily emerged from PARADISE LOSTs lyrics over thepast 3 decades. So abandon hope, all ye who listen here, and celebrate the beauty of ephemerality and nihilism as longas you still wander on earthly soil.
