I
was really surprised that this was reissued again. It was originally put out on
Record Heaven in 1997 both on CD and picture disc vinyl, a bit over 20 years
go. Lucifer Was, was an underground
Norwegian band that existed from 70-75 or so but never recorded anything back
in the day but all the songs on this album were played by the band back in the
day and only recorded in 1996. The band
knocked out their old songs and it was all done in 18 hrs. The band was clearly a fan of Jethro Tull and
even had two flute players at one point. The music is a bit darker than most
Tull. All the songs are original except the The Mountain King theme which they
use to lead into their own multipart track called the Green Pearl. If you never
heard this and like a more heavy version of Tull meets some early Black
Sabbath, then check this out. You can hear it below.
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
