Medeia occupy a weird niche where that makes them hard to categorize. They definitely have a strong technical death metal influence running through their music, but they’re not nearly as chaotic or ‘technical’ as most of those bands. They also create subtle atmospheres through their infrequent use of keyboards and female vocals, but not to the point where you could really call them ‘atmospheric metal’. What I do know is I love the little niche they seem to occupy all alone. It’s heavy enough to fill that requirement, dynamic and prog enough to keep me coming back, and it builds just enough of a dark atmosphere to even fill my doom requirement (despite never delving into those lethargic tempos). So, they’re not breaking down any real barriers, but they definitely fill a niche that no one else seems to… and if I’m wrong, and there’s more bands like this, point me in that direction.
