Horror Patch:
“SUPER MONSTER PARTY’S ‘RAGE QUIT’ album is a masterpiece of epic proportions”
Metal Sucks:
“Super Monster Party gotta go fast in their tribute to sonic the hedgehog, ‘Blue Hurricane’…Super Monster Party’s single ‘This Is Doom!’ is a love letter to thegore-filled first-person shooter”

On their upcoming album ‘Rage Quit‘, SUPER MONSTER PARTY is telling an immersive story that will allow us to dive even deeper into the world of ‘Permadeath‘.
With narrational interludes between every track, they create a bond between the most beloved video games of their childhood and their music, providing a mesmerizing adventurous experience for the listeners.
The new album also features Ty Christian aka Fang VonWrathenstein (Lords of the Trident) as a 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 saxophone on ‘Dance Dance Revolution‘.
SUPER MONSTER PARTY really go all the way to deliver delicious easter eggs to their fans:
a co-op with martial arts icon Daniel Pesina and fellow Mortal Kombat actor Anthony Marquez for the music video of ‘Test Your Might‘ or providing guest appearances by Angry Video Game Nerd James Rolfe and Glenn Fricker in ‘This Is Doom!‘.
Every one of this band’s music videos offers a special little nerdy treat, while serving as homages to the retro games they address.
“SUPER MONSTER PARTY’s music videos are something you don’t wanna miss!”
Rei Sega:
“During the writing process, we embraced our inner gamer rage and transformed it into something raw, energetic, and unapologetic. I think old and new fans will really enjoy the heavier direction and approach we have adopted. ‘Rage Quit’ is the soundtrack to our own gaming journeys. We want to take them on a journey of nostalgia where they can remember their favorite video games. We want everyone to press start, turn up the volume, and prepare for battle when they hear our new album ‘Rage Quit’. It’s our most intense, gaming-fueled album yet.”
“The album is a nostalgic journey through the eyes of ‘the champion’. A young boy who enters the fictional world of ‘Permadeath’ where video games are real and most certainly, dangerous. Song by song you travel through these different games and take on the role of the hero or villain as the truth unfolds layer by layer.”
‘Altered Beast’:
“Inspired by the 1988 Sega classic of the same name. It was one of the very first games I ever played on the Sega Genesis. It’s intense right from the start just like the game.”
‘Upon The Triforce’:
“Inspired by the 1986 NES classic Zelda. I wanted to write a song that took you on Link’s journey.”
‘This is Doom!’:
“Inspired by the classic 1993 PC game. It goes loud and hard from the start and doesn’t stop.”
‘Another Castle’:
‘This monster ballad is inspired by the 1985 Original Mario Bros video game. It paints a picture of loving someone but she’s somewhere else.”
‘Test Your Might’:
“Inspired by the original Mk1 and Mk2 video games from 1992 and 1993. Intense and epic just like the game.”
‘Blue Hurricane’:
‘Inspired by the original Sonic games of the 90’s such as Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles. It was one of the first video games I had ever played. I wanted it to sound epic and of course, fast.”
‘It’s Resident Evil’:
‘Inspired by the 1996 Capcom Zombie Horror Game. It’s dark and broody with a very catchy chorus. It’s a humorous and dark type of song.”
‘Castlevania’:
‘Inspired by the 1986 NES classic of the same name. It’s catchy and made to make you sing along from the very beginning.”
‘Dance Dance Revolution (Till the Death)’:
“Inspired by the 1999 video game dance sensation. It’s punchy with electro beats and catchy melodies for everyone to sing and dance along to.”
‘Earthworm Jim’:
“Inspired by the 1994 sci-fi shoot of the same name. It’s fast, unpredictable, and epic.”
‘Maximum Carnage’:
“Inspired by the 1994 classic of the same name. It’s the last song I wrote on the album. It’s wild with its own twists and turns. I just like Cassidy himself.”
‘One Winged Angel’:
“Inspired by villain Sephoroth of the 1997 Final Fantasy 7 video game. I wanted to create an epic movie score-type vibes with elements of black metal and power metal.”
The album artwork is a nod to the original style used in many Sega Genesis games.
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.
“All our songs are original songs inspired by the retro videogames.”
And:
They also have their own, free-to-play, old school nostalgia-inspired 2D jump’n’run game – ‘Permadeath’ (available at https://www.supermonsterparty.com) – with a soundtrack consisting of the instrumentals of their own powerful tracks.
“We have our own playable videogame ‘Permadeath’ available for free on our website.”
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.
“Oleh lives in Ukraine and recorded the entire record while in the middle of the ongoing war.”
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.
“We also have our song available on Guitar Hero (Clone Hero) and Dance Dance Revolution (StepMania).”
