Austen Starr brings a sharp, aggressive energy to the rock landscape with the arrival of “Medusa,” the latest glimpse into her upcoming debut album titled ‘I Am The Enemy’ scheduled for February 13, 2026. This track serves as the foundational spark for her entire partnership with Frontiers Music Srl, originating from a demo written during her early years. The song utilizes a mythological framework to explore themes of power and control, featuring a music video that depicts a high-stakes psychological game. This specific composition carries a heavy, driving rhythm that anchors the vocal performance with absolute authority.
The collaborative force behind this record includes an impressive roster of veteran musicians. Joel Hoekstra provides the guitar work and co-wrote the material, while the rhythm section consists of Chris Collier on bass and drums. Steve Ferlazzo contributes keyboards and Chloe Lowery adds backing vocals to the mix. The collective output results in a thick, wall-of-sound production that aligns with the sonic weight of modern hard rock. This record is a thunderous triumph of classic technique meeting a fresh, snarling perspective.
‘I Am The Enemy’ consists of eleven primary tracks plus a bonus acoustic version of “Read Your Mind” for the Japan release. The track list includes:
- Remain Unseen
