∙ Greg
Mackintosh: "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."
∙ Nick Holmes: "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!"

There will be a special release show on 1st September in Stuttgart at LKA Longhorn where the album will be performed in its entirety. Find out more here: http://bit.ly/2sN2F2W
