01.10.2024Watch out for Blue Hurricane!
New album Rage Quit coming November 11, 2024
SUPER MONSTER PARTY is a band for all video game nerds, jump’n’run enthusiasts, metalheads, 90s kids, weirdos, and everyone in between – a metal band that’s all about video games, singing from the heroes or villains introspective point of view. And: They also have their own, free-to-play, old school nostalgia inspired 2D jump’n’run game – ‘Permadeath’ – with a soundtrack consisting of the instrumentals of their own powerful tracks.
Long story short: SUPER MONSTER PARTY’s music sounds like what your dearest classic video games would sound like if they’d grown up with you during the last decades, while the lyrics take you on a captivating journey into the mind of your favorite gaming protagonists, good guys and bad guys. The band’s music as well as their game transport the recipient into the world of Permadeath, a colorful blend of classic 16-bit pixelated video game world replicas, which you as “The Hero/Champion” have to conquer, while the soundtrack ties the whole experience together and sucks you into SUPER MONSTER PARTY’s unique universe.
Rocking together since 2020, SUPER MONSTER PARTY have already gathered a lot of XP, having a bunch of achievements under their belt, such as four released albums: Permadeath (2020), SideQuest (2021), Game Genie (2023), and Up, Up, Down, Die (2023). The Band is the concept of Singer/Songwriter Rei Sega, and features notable members Emilio Martinez (Yngwie Malmsteen) on bass, Fern Lemus (Lions at the Gate) on the drums, Andy Alvarez (Irras One) on rhythm guitar, and Oleh Andrievsky as lead guitarist. Their intense, melodic, catchy, and heavy sound shows influences of The Misfits, Rhapsody, Slipknot, NOFX, and Van Halen. The variety of different influences and genres, worshiped by the band, means that they are able to find the right metal sound for all game themes – each video game universe is authentically set to music, while the skills of the masterful musical chameleon that is SUPER MONSTER PARTY cannot be pinned down to one genre. No two songs sound the same, but one thing is for sure – they all rock hard.
Get ready to reach the next level and stay tuned for more as SUPER MONSTER PARTY will be releasing their new album Rage Quit on November 11. On their upcoming album, the US-based band is telling an immersive story which will allow us to dive even deeper into the world of Permadeath. With narrational interludes between every track, they are creating a bond between the most beloved video games of their childhood and their music, providing a mesmerizing adventurous experience for the listeners. Interesting fun facts: The new album will feature Ty Christian aka Fang VonWrathenstein (Lords of the Trident) as guest vocalist on One Wing Angel, as well as Denver Cooper (Vicious Rumors) guitar skills on a solo for This Is Doom, and Hugo Lee as guest sax on Dance Dance Revolution.

SUPER MONSTER PARTY are dropping their new video single Blue Hurricane just in time for Sonic the Hedgehog’s 33rd birthday – as a tribute to the speedy blue spiny mammal. The soundtrack of the beloved jump’n’run game ‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ undoubtedly has a special place in a lot of gamer hearts but Blue Hurricane serves as an outstanding example of what the game could sound like when fully leaning into the little hedgehog's fierce badassness. How much damage per second can SUPER MONSTER PARTY do? Lead guitarist Oleh Andrievsky has certainly trained his fine motor skills to a level of perfection, contributing his genius long distance from the Ukraine. His lively turbo guitar riffs resemble the fast-paced gameplay of Sonic and the lyrics of Blue Hurricane take you back to those moments in your childhood when you had to stay home sick and would just play video games all day and diving into these little pixelated dimensions made everything suck a little bit less. Except of course when you encountered the evil scientist Dr. Robotnik and were faced with the responsibility of preventing the Eggman from taking over the world. Whatever you’re doing while hearing Blue Hurricane – you will fondly see the tree tops of Green Hill as well as the Final Zone reappearing before your mind’s eye. And: This track will surely light your ass on fire and push you to finally achieve that super hard Sonic speedrun you have been fantasizing about since your childhood, instead of rage quitting the game for the 666th time.
Blue Hurricane is a critical hit that will surely snatch the high score of gamer hearts. There is no doubt that by the beginning of this fall every SUPER MONSTER PARTY fan will know the game plan: “and together the whole world will sing – GO SONIC GO!”
