Latest News
It’s great to be back on the High Speed Hangover Podcast with some excellent company 🤘
Horns up to www.jacemedia.co.uk for a great review of Sisyphus! Check out their page for music news and reviews!An excellent exploration of The Medea Project’s Sisyphus from Jace Media…
“Some doom styles can get bogged down in one particular sound which can make an entire album of songs seem to blur into one . I think this is the reason why I’ve been put off the genre for so long. However, this album has really opened my eyes, there is such a diverse range of songs which all retain the core element of the genre. You cant mistake the music by The Medea Project, it draws you in to the whole substance of what the band want to portray. This is a well written and produced album which has put The Medea Project firmly on the map.”

Tonight we should have been at The Chameleon with Torturous Promotions sharing the stage with Swamp Coffin, Electric Priestess and ỤBỤRỤ but alas this was not to be…
However, we’ve been hard at work rehearsing for when the gates of chaos open again. In the meantime, go and listen to Sisyphus on all major streaming platforms and also available on themedeaproject.bandcamp.com/album/sisyphus
Hopefully it won’t be too long before we can hit the stage again!

The Medea Project first raised its defiant fist on the east coast of South Africa, a music scene like no other and since then their wandering path has brought them to the shores of the UK. And then yo…After a good three days of listening, I have decided that “Gloam” is my favourite track.

Doomed to almost not have happened, last night at the Maze turned out to be a blast.
Massive thanks to Lycan and Pemphigoid for their dedication. The Maze for hosting and a very very special thanks to everyone who came out on an grim icy Thursday night to headbang and party with us!
See you all again at The Angel Microbrewery in March!

To coincide with us releasing some merch we have decided to run a competition and give 3 lucky winners a bundle comprising of our self-titled EP and a T-Shirt.
All of the instructions are here. Good luck and we’ll catch you on the road soon
31st December 2017
Well it’s the demise of yet another year but reflecting on 2017, it was a landmark year for The Medea Project. Re-awakened on new shores, EP launch, shows and a relocation, it’s been a busy but memorable year.
Horns up to all the bands that we had the pleasure of playing with and bands we have met along the way.
An especially very very massive thank-you to the amazing, metal-mad Italian, Fabiola Santini. Your support and faith always pushed us on and there are no words to express our gratitude!
And last but definitely not least a double horns up to all our fans. The support has been overwhelming and we’re ready to keep the metal flag flying in 2018.
We want to wish everybody an awesome 2018. Play it dark and play it loud!
12th September 2017
With a busy few months of an EP launch, barrage of gigs and some merch, the Medea Project is officially alive and squirming. However, having left enough of a stain on the South East, it is now time to spread that stain across the rest of the Land.
We have decided to slither our way up to the Midlands. So, although we’ll be quiet on the gigging front for the next 6 weeks, it doesn’t mean we’re dead (well, we hope not) but tunnelling our way in. We’ve already snatched ourselves a rehearsal room so the cacophony will continue and all this in time for the grimfrost that will be descending soon…
19th August 2017
Good gig at 02 Islington last night! Great bands, great promoter and staff and an awesome crowd.
Thanks to The Basilisk, Sectlinefor, Detoxen and All That Was Said
Also thanks to Symptomatic and the O2 guys for all your support and help
Most of all thanks to everyone who came out to support, drink and in general have a damn good time!
Our next onslaught is on the 2nd September at the Red Lion in Gravesend. See you there!
