Medusa

by Clan of Xymox

Clan of Xymox seamlessly merged the icy electronics of coldwave with the dramatic, sweeping grandiosity of gothic rock on their highly influential sophomore album. 'Medusa' surrounds Ronny Moorings's romantic, deeply melancholic vocals with dense synthesizer washes and driving, minor-key basslines. The result is a cold, profoundly nocturnal, and heavily atmospheric pinnacle of mid-80s darkwave.
