Artwork
Medusa's artwork was released on March 1, 2017. It was designed specifically for Uncured by world-renowned Austrian artist Peter Gric, known for his stunning bio-mechanical imagery that reflects the impact of technology on the human condition. His works are displayed in numerous private and public collections around the world.

"There are a variety of concepts that run throughout the record" said Zak Cox. "One major theme is the contrast between vision and insight. Mr. Gric’s modernized rendition of Medusa captures this."  Rex Cox added, "His artwork embodies a tension that we think is symbolic of our aggressive yet melodic music."

"It was my pleasure to work with Uncured to design art for their new album" said Mr. Gric. "The artwork expresses the power and beauty of the band's music perfectly."
