At the tail end of summer in 2003, on the unfashionable East Coast of South Africa, in a town known more for its weed and surfing than doom. The Medea Project arose from the minds of a few disillusioned individuals, burning fast and bright, bursting its way onto an unwary scene and then falling into a state of remission. Not dead, always festering under the surface of guitarist and front-man Brett Minnie’s mind.

Fast forward to the present, albeit on different shores. Recruiting seasoned bass/keyboard player, Pauline Silver on drums, and newcomer Bradley Reimann on bass, The Medea Project was resurrected.

Fusing a down tuned wall of sound, raw tribal drum grooves, some punk DIY sensibilities, all interwoven with a touch of goth, death, black and stoner; The Medea Project unleashed itself on the unwary Kent and London crowds from March 2017 to September 2017 which included 2 headlining shows in London. During this period they recorded their first EP in April 2017, which was shortly followed by a music video featuring the single, “Babylon”.
