Darkwave Transmissions From The Other Side

Zeitgeist Zero weaves a dark and dramatic sonic tapestry, fusing industrial-edged electronics with post-punk guitar textures and emotional haunting vocals. Their sound is rooted in goth and darkwave, but refuses to stay neatly within genre boundaries shifting from cinematic atmospheres to aggressive rhythms with an emotional intensity that lingers. All seamlessly woven together by the enchanting vocal prowess of the enigmatic Teresa Dead, whose commanding presence evokes a gothic femme fatale, blending glam, horror, and defiance. Her poetic lyrics encapsulate the very essence of the darkwave aesthetic.

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”.
