The Medea Project ‘Komēn: Facets’: two takes on a Kharon track
Both tracks on the single rework “Purgatory: Trapped” from the 2025 album “Kharon.” The opener, “Purgatory Release,” was reimagined and remixed by Lucifer X of St. Lucifer, while “In Purgatory: Trapped” returns to an earlier incarnation of the song from the “Kharon” demos.

The release lands as the band prepares to play the Darker Days festival at The International in Leicester on June 27, 2026, a gothic weekender whose lineup includes The March Violets, Guillotine Dream and Salvation.
About The Medea Project
The Medea Project is led by Brett Minnie, who carried the project from South Africa’s east coast to the United Kingdom, where it is now based in Nottingham. Minnie rebuilt the band in England and began playing shows in 2017, recording a self-titled debut EP that year. The project became a duo with the addition of drummer and percussionist Pauline Silver.
The debut album “Sisyphus” arrived in 2020, followed by the EP “Reflections” in 2023 through Trepanation Recordings. The second album, “Kharon,” was released on June 20, 2025. In April 2026 the band issued the EP “Akkadian Artefacts,” a set of remixes by St. Lucifer’s Lucifer X, through BDB Productions. “Komēn: Facets,” released on June 26, 2026, continues that run and pulls the project further toward its dark ambient and electronica side.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
