Superior Rage started the madness back in 2006, pushing raw black metal poisoned with atmospheric and symphonic elements. The early days saw the sole creator handling vocals and synths, backed by session allies for the self-titled 2008 demo and the 2010 full length "Through Infinity". The project went through live gigs and lineup shifts, dropping "Iii" in 2011 and diving deeper into the symphonic side of the abyss. A massive hiatus hit in 2014. The resurrection kicked off in 2022 and gained serious momentum in 2024 with the "Anthology" collection. Now, we arrive at the "In Memoriam" EP, bringing back classic anthems and new assaults tracked with a full session crew.

"In Memoriam" gathers the best of the Superior Rage arsenal and injects it with serious venom. Having actual musicians stepping in changes the whole dynamic of the execution. The black metal assault here comes across highly atmospheric and completely cloaked in darkness. "Indecent Condition" and "Asmodeus Bacchic" deliver that traditional, hateful frostbite, driving the old-school aggression straight through the speakers. The guitars, handled by Nemorion and Hrafnagud across different songs, weave a freezing, sinister web over the entire runtime.

The addition of new material gives this EP serious teeth. "Soleright" and "The Death Of The Red Dragon" plunge the listener into undiscovered, freezing territories. Baelithiel handles the vocal duties here, spewing out venomous rasps over the aggressive riffage. Maikon’s drumming holds the chaos together, pounding away with relentless hostility. Having Superior Rage handling the synths and bass ensures the dark, symphonic foundation remains intact, constantly brooding beneath the distortion.

The mix and master by Harpag Karnik gives the whole release a harsh, piercing edge. The instruments punch through the grim production, allowing the sinister melodies and fast tremolo picking to inflict maximum damage. It is a harsh, uncompromising dive into freezing, symphonic darkness. Superior Rage unleashes a very strong, highly aggressive attack of traditional black metal fury.

Score: 7.5
