(review) Super Monster Party – Permadeath

Now this one was fun! Super Monster Party call themselves Video Game Metal because their new record contains songs based on old school retro video games like Altered Beast and Splatterhouse. This one totally brought me back to my childhood when we were bunch of misfits and no goods just roaming local arcade at the swimming pool playing all those old school games and just being jerks and horror freaks we still are today.

This record contains twelve songs of melodic metal with horrorpunk influences. The song called Altered Beast is based on melodic metal guitar work, yet vocal lines are done in the vein of let us say Blitzkid and I love it totally. There are power melodic metal influences, like double pedal bass and guitar work, I must here say that all musicianship on this record is superb. We can also hear some thrash metal riffing with horrorpunk influenced vocal lines in It´s Resident Evil, one of my favorites on this record.

I love the dark ballad atmosphere of Another Castle, and keyboard piano melodies in the background add to the heaviness, drama and intensity of the songs. Also, one of the highlights on this album I must mention is Streets Of Rage, just perfect song for fist pumping in the air and singing along to the anthemic chorus. This album and band is such wonderful surprise. Love it! Go and listen!
