{"product_id":"medusa-first-step-beyond-arch-album","title":"Medusa | First Step Beyond (Arch.) | Album","description":"\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedusa’s First Step Beyond is an unearthed 1975 proto-metal time capsule that bridges the gap between the heavy doom of Black Sabbath and the expansive space rock of Hawkwind. Originally recorded as a four-track basement demo in Chicago, it sat unreleased for 40 years before being rescued by the archival label Numero Group. The album captures a gritty, low-budget, private-press aesthetic that feels raw and authentic. The band's heavy brooding grooves and dual-guitar attack sounds like a Midwestern response to early British heavy metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist Website: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/3119128-Medusa-35\"\u003ediscogs\/Medusa-35\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelated Artists: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:'Basaraba'\"\u003eBasaraba, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:'Beyond%20Fallen'\"\u003eBeyond Fallen, \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/search?q=title:'Fear%20of%20God'\"\u003eFear of God\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42530334703698,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1712\/4551\/files\/medusafirststep.jpg?v=1785455647","url":"https:\/\/www.artrockstore.com\/products\/medusa-first-step-beyond-arch-album","provider":"Artrockstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
