With iconic music press buzzing over Ruff Majik‘s new album Elektrik Ram (set for release on the 28th April 2023 via Mongrel Records), the band has released a fiery new single entitled “Queen of The Gorgons”.
A rewatching of the classic 1981 Clash Of The Titans set Johni Holiday’s brain gears into motion, somewhere during a delirious recovery state. Basically, we all know the story of the gorgon Medusa, and how she was slain at the hands of Perseus.
In this version of the story, the tables have turned, and Perseus (the speaker) finds himself head over heels in-love with Medusa, and fairly close to worshipping her, singing about admiring her ‘serpentine locks of hair’ and ’emerald eyes set to stun’. Of course, Johni also delves into biblical references when he asks the serpentine woman to build him ‘a church from my ribs’ so he can sing her hymns every day.
Johni Holidays from Ruff Majik comments on “Queens Of The Gorgons”
“It’s about admiring a woman for her fierce attitude and way of life. She has no care about the speaker and has no need to care about him. The story revolves around his maniacal worship of her, and her indifference to his existence.”
