Behind The Tracks: Medusian - Bull Of Crete (Single) (2024)

Bull of Crete, our second single, is a song about an interpretation of Greek Mythology. The story of Asterion, the Minotaur, and his mother Pasiphae is one of great power, cruelty, and harm brought on many people, but not the King of Crete, Minos, who tried to cheat Poseidon due to his own greed and pride. The music and orchestration of the song balances a far more brutal and savage tone than our previous single, Facestealer, but simultaneously tries to bring forth the tragedy of the victims of Poseidon's wrath. Our vocalist, Mitchell Colbert, used different techniques of screaming and growling to convey the voices of different characters. To further this, his friend and vocal coach Mina Giannipoulou, provides operatic and epic guest vocals to portray the feelings and pain of the mother of the Minotaur. We're extremely proud of Bull of Crete, and we feel the drama it brings forth is truly representative of the mythology of Gods that inspired it.
