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