Paradise Lost toont albumhoes

Liefhebbers van Paradise Lost mogen 1 september alvast in hun agenda aankruisen. Op deze datum ligt Medusa - het ondertussen reeds vijftiende studioalbum van de Britse groep - in de winkelrekken. Eerder op de dag werd de albumhoes wereldkundig gemaakt. Het resultaat ziet u verder in dit artikel. 

Gitarist Greg Mackintosh had via Facebook het volgende te vertellen:

"Whilst we were writing Medusa and realising what the new songs were becoming, we had to find an artist to reflect this direction. After searching around for a while, I found Branca Studios. They have a keen eye for design and their modern take on retro artwork really fit the bill. What they have come up with is a blending of colourful yet retro styling, whilst maintaining the classic Paradise Lost feel."

Ook zanger Nick Holmes viel op een uitspraak te betrappen:

"I was intrigued about a greater meaning and thinking more along the lines of what Medusa represents metaphorically. Medusa as a title works in many ways. From a nihilist perspective, when I read the description of 'medusa' on the wikipedia page: 'Attempts to avoid looking into Medusa's eyes represents avoiding the ostensibly depressing reality that the universe is meaningless' - the title was pretty much in the bag!"
