The Black Goat Uprising Releasing Debut Full-Length "Medusa"

The Black Goat Uprising has announced the release of debut full-length "Medusa," a collection of ten song songs that the band describes as "heavy, raw, dark ambient" music.

The Black Goat Uprising founder Jimmy Psycho (Psycho Charger/The Jimmy Psycho Experiment) humorously refers to “Medusa” as his personal "Music from The Elder," much like the Kiss album of the same name, it's essentially a soundtrack for a horror film that never got made.

The interesting back story behind “Medusa” is that it was chiefly composed while Psycho was working at a locked-down mental health care facility. He comments:

“When working on 'Medusa' I drew a great deal from working there. I visualized what the soundtrack to such a place would sound like: an immersion into orchestrated chaos, from which there is no escape from the daily grind of loneliness ,disorientation, rage, and death. Some of sounds that appear on 'Medusa' are from actual environmental recordings from the facility. Those screams and voices on this record are real.”

"Medusa" is the first full-length release for the band, coming shortly after their collaboration with horror rockers Psycho Charger on the song "Black Lodge," a track recorded to benefit the No-Kill Los Angeles Animal Shelter.

“Medusa” is available on The Black Goat Uprising's website here.
