The Medea Project joins Imperative Management – a truly unique musical entity, whose sound is carved from the darkness and draped in the essence of heartache and nightmares. Originally formed on the east coast of South Africa, the concept of The Medea Project was transported to English shores by guitarist/front man Brett Minnie, where he formed a new creative bond with drummer Pauline Silver. Together they now weave The Medea Project’s unnerving tapestries of peculiar magic.
Work is nearing completion on The Medea Project’s full length debut album and we will be revealing details of this beautifully challenging beast very soon. Suffice to say we don’t think you’ll have experienced anything quite like this dark ride before. Brooding, soulful, raw and heavy, a captivating intertwining of gothic aesthetics and metallic power, we look forward to unleashing this intense collection of vibrant songs on you all soon.
Imperative PR and The Medea Project is a match made in the fevered dreams of the heartsick and the damned.

{tab=title="BIOGRAPHY" class="orange"}
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”.
