Devil May Care

Released in 2005, Devil May Care is an EP that highlights Susperia's evolution from the symphonic black metal of their debut toward a more refined, melodic thrash metal sound. Featuring a mix of original tracks and eclectic covers, the release is notable for its inclusion of 'The Sun Always Shines on T.V.' by fellow Norwegians A-ha, which became a minor hit in the metal community for its seamless blend of synth-pop melody and thrash aggression. The band, featuring former members of Dimmu Borgir and Old Man's Child, utilizes their extreme metal pedigree to provide a level of technical precision rarely seen in standard heavy metal. Critically, the EP was seen as a testament to the band's ability to cross over into more accessible territories without losing their 'edge.' It remains a fan favorite for its high-fidelity production and the charismatic vocal performance of Athera, whose rasp provides a unique texture against the polished instrumental backdrop.
