Blue Medusa Shares New Music Video "Flying Monkey"

After the breakout success of "Checkmate," a single that rapidly established itself as one of the most enthusiastically embraced metal releases of the year, internationally acclaimed metal icon Alissa White-Gluz has returned with "Flying Monkey," the highly anticipated second single from Blue Medusa.

"Flying Monkey" is an explosive, dark, layered, and emotionally charged release that further establishes Blue Medusa as one of the most compelling new forces in modern heavy music.

"Flying Monkey" is available now on all digital streaming platforms and the video can be found below.

Musically, the track highlights the dynamic chemistry and distinct artistic voices within Blue Medusa. The instrumentation of the song was composed by guitarist Dani Sophia, who states:
"'Flying Monkey' was written in this really liminal space, this waiting area in-between chapters in my life, and the melodies reflect the themes of the nightmares I was having at the time. No matter where I was, I kept hearing an out-of-tune music box playing in the distance…"

White-Gluz, who co-produced and arranged the track, wrote the lyrics and vocal melodies, says:
"'Flying Monkey' is exactly the kind of music I want to be making. I am so inspired by Dani and Alyssa. This Blue Medusa album is almost like writing my memoirs and I have loved every aspect of creating it."

Guitarist Alyssa Day, who composed the instrumentation for the band’s breakout debut single "Checkmate," delivers a standout guitar solo performance on "Flying Monkey" and states:
"The bridge section of 'Flying Monkey' gave me a fun space to stretch outside my usual harmonic comfort zone and play with some scales and sequences I don’t always reach for. It turned into this quirky, sassy, techy little solo that I genuinely love playing. We had a blast shooting the video too, and I’m really excited for everyone to finally see and hear this one."
