Medea - Northern Light (2017)

Medea is a solo project and brainchild of composer and multi-musician Henry Meeuws. It’s no secret that Henry likes to be inspired by bands as for instance Pain of Salvation, Dream theater, Savatage, Avantasia and Ayreon. All the characteristic rock opera’s of Medea tell an intense story, performed by great Dutch guest vocalists and musicians.

After almost twelve years, the moment is finally there! On the 1st of September 2017, “NORTHERN LIGHT, the brand-new and long expected solo album of Henry Meeuws alias MEDEA, was released. After "Individual Unique” (2002) and “Room XVII (2005) this is the third rock opera of this multi faceted musician and composer from Someren (the Netherlands), who signed a record deal with Rock Inc. Entertainment / Snakebite Records for the production of this album.

According to the insiders, this rock opera promises to exceed its two predecessors in all of its aspects. Again, the album is full of the musical ingredients, as we all have come to expect from Medea. An intense concept, now based on a Scandinavian folktale, performed by amazing guest singers and musicians. Some already known (Joss Mennen, Ernst Le Cocq d’Armandville, Rob Laarhoven, Sandra Peeters), others are new within the ranks of Medea (Frank de Groot, Igor Koopmans, John Jaycee Cuijpers, Josien Obers and a delegation of the Quintessens children’s choir from Someren). Musically the album contains melodic, epic and especially symphonic compositions with a progressive touch and from time to time, a balanced doses of metal.
