Paradise Lost have now confirmed that they will be releasing their new album, Medusa, on September 1st via Nuclear Blast. What can we expect? The band says “eight riff laden monster tracks of sheer Northern misery.”

Today they’ve also released the amazing cover artwork by Branca Studio. Greg Mackintosh adds: “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.”
