Superior biography
SUPERIOR is another German progressive metal band, with a strong similarity to mid-period DREAM THEATER. For one thing, the band isn't just another DREAM TEATHER clone. They have their own unique sound and style. Their sound includes some really well-played keyboards, but is clearly guitar-driven mixed with a liberal use of flowing pianos. Their music is dark but the lyrics ring true. As is the case with most German bands, their musicianship is flawless. Notable influences are DREAM THEATER, FATE'S WARNING, SAVATAGE, METALLICA, older QUEENSRYCHE (or newer), RUSH and STING among others.

Their first CD release "Behind" showed a heavy DREAM THEATER influence. Delicate keyboard work intermeshes cleanly with heavy and crunchy guitar. Comparing to their first album, "Younique" reflects one of SUPERIOR's greatest strengths: diversity. Their second CD mixes modern essence and melodic prog metal sounds with nice vocal melodies, including a fine ballad ("This Promise"). The use of quiet piano combined with very heavy and crunchy guitar work is fascinating and captivating. This "Younique" bears its name well... it is UNIQUE. Their latest release, "ULTIMA RATIO" a magnificient concept story album a la "Operation Mindcrime", is a confirmation of their huge talent. I strongly encourage that all progressive fans buy their albums.
