You may also enjoy SuperScience, a synth/metal musical project inspired by horror and sci-fi of the 70s, 80s, and beyond. Randal Silvey has released numerous albums under the title of SuperScience beginning with 2014’s “Redeemer”.

The early albums fell primarily within the synthwave genre. In recent years the sound of SuperScience has evolved, heavily incorporating metal elements. The “Tooth & Claw” EP could be considered a predominately metal release while “Candy Sack II” features a more balanced mix of metal and retro synth elements.
