LUCIFER WAS- Underground and Beyond (SOMMER SOMMCD055)


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.
