LUCIFER - Release Cover Of Leonard Cohen Song 'Who By Fire' Feat. Bobby Liebling (PENTAGRAM)

Just one week before embarking on the second leg of their 2024 'Satanic Panic' European Tour and right on time for spooky season, heavy occult rock congregation LUCIFER have unveiled a stunning cover version of a song by by the late great Leonard Cohen. 'Who By Fire' features none other than doom metal legend Bobby Liebling of PENTAGRAM as a duet partner for Johanna Platow Andersson. Witness two generations of occult rock and doom metal joining forces for a unique take on this classic tune from 1974.

LISTEN TO 'WHO BY FIRE' (FEAT. BOBBY LIEBLING) BELOW:

Johanna commented:
"Growing up with Leonard Cohen's music, as my mother was a passionate fan, I have always been profoundly touched by his lyrics and of course especially gravitated towards this extremely haunting death theme. Bobby Liebling and I have been talking about collaborating for quite a few years now. When I knew I wanted Lucifer to cover "Who By Fire", Bobby was the perfect one to interpret this very eerie song and I am so glad he said yes. Being a huge Pentagram fan, this is quite something for me! We are extremely pleased how 'Who By Fire' turned into a Lucifer song and Halloween was the perfect occasion to release this morbid work."


LUCIFER will continue their successful 2024 'Satanic Panic' European Tour next week, and once again they're being joined by German rising stars, The Night Eternal. The tour package will be completed by US heavy metal band Tanith, which features Russ Tippins (original guitar player of NWOBHM legends SATAN) on guitar and vocals. You can find all confirmed dates at the bottom.

LUCIFER - Release Video For New Single 'Slow Dance In A Crypt'

Heavy rock megalith LUCIFER have released a new single called 'Slow Dance In A Crypt'. The song is another precursor to the new album, LUCIFER V, which is due out on January 26th, 2024, on Nuclear Blast Records. Consisting of nine unholy hymns, LUCIFER's fifth offering can easily be regarded as their magnum opus and sees the band channeling all their strengths known from previous records into one monumental mass of electrifying heavy rock and roll.

'Slow Dance In A Crypt' shows a quieter side of LUCIFER while still allowing distorted guitars to soar during its anthemic chorus. Sounding very much like LUCIFER, the song is also a testament to the bands’ penchant for 60s rock and pop music.The corresponding music video by Chris Shonting is a thematic sequel to the last one, 'At The Mortuary', and continues its morbid story line about everlasting love that transcends death, all shot in the style of late 60s George A. Romero.

Furthermore, LUCIFER are pleased to announce a few more dates for their THE SATANIC PANIC EUROPEAN TOUR 2024, the first leg of which they will be co-headlining with NWOBHM legends, ANGEL WITCH. On the second leg they will be joined by German blackened heavy metal band ATTIC. Rising stars THE NIGHT ETERNAL from Germany will be the support on all dates.

LUCIFER Release Video For New Single "A Coffin Has No Silver Lining (The Sistine Version)"

Stockholm based heavy rock megalith LUCIFER have released a promo video for their new single, 'A Coffin Has No Silver Lining (The Sistine Version)', which is out today via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

This first single under the roof of their new label sees LUCIFER playing all their strengths: a stunner of a tune reminiscent of mid to late seventies hard rock with an irresitably catchy chorus that is going to live rent free in your head from now on. The song arrives just in time for LUCIFER's upcoming European shows with GHOST (please scroll down for all upcoming LUCIFER live dates).

The promo video directed by Emil Klinta features a few snippets from the recording session and some neat super 8 footage of foggy trainyards with vintage railway waggons and locomotives as well as the band trying their luck at a selection of classic pinball machines, including - of course - a KISS one.

LUCIFER Release Music Video for New Single "Crucifix (I Burn For You)"

LUCIFER Release New Single & Video for

"Crucifix (I Burn For You)"

'LUCIFER IV' Out Now on Century Media

LUCIFER - one of the hardest working and incendiary acts in rock music today, has unveiled yet another new offering from their upcoming new studio album. The band is thrilled to share the third single from their soon-to-be-released LP, LUCIFER IV. The new single, "Crucifix (I Burn For You)", is out now and available on all major streaming platforms. Watch and listen to the single below.

Speaking about the music video for the new track, vocalist Johanna Platow Andersson shares:

"We are thrilled to release the music video for our new single 'Crucifix (I Burn For You)'.

The sequel to our last video 'Bring Me His Head' was shot in one take with a vintage 70s tube camera just like its predecessor by photographer Crille Forsberg and directed by Amir Chamdin. It has been a true honor to work with them, especially considering the astonishing portfolios they have under their belt. They've literally worked with anyone from The Hellacopters to Adele, from Ghost to Pharrell Williams. Very notable for me personally was Crille shooting David Bowie's very last video 'Lazarus', that shook me to the bone. Well, and now they've worked with Lucifer. And what a bloody workday it was!"

'LUCIFER IV' will see an October 29th, 2021 release via Century Media, and is available in the following formats:

· Ltd. black Gatefold 180g LP + CD (in deluxe hardcover gatefold sleeve)

This format is only available in the 1st pressing!

For this video, singer Johanna had the idea to pay tribute to Brian De Palma's 1976 horror classic "Carrie".

She says: "'Carrie' is one of my favorite movies. Being an outsider myself my entire life, I've always identified with her. We are very excited that this time we got to work with director Amir Chamdin and photographer Crille Forsberg on our videos. Their body of work is quite breathtaking, if you look it up, so it was a real honor. The video to 'Bring Me His Head' is only one part of the story but we can't give anything more away at this point."

Century Media Records proudly present a first taste of LUCIFER’s new album “Lucifer IV”!

After the release of the critically acclaimed “Lucifer III” last year, the Swedish/German heavy rock powerhouse didn’t rest on their laurels. With no shows in sight they relentlessly recorded in their studios and released three vinyl 45’s - one with a weighty rendition of TOM WAITS’ “Dirt in The Ground”, one a split with KADAVAR where LUCIFER covered DUST's "Pull Away" and one tearing up the Northern Soul nugget "Gone With The Wind Is My Love" together with Elin from BLUES PILLS.

But not only that, LUCIFER completed their new long player “Lucifer IV”.

Today we present to you the first album single “Wild Hearses”, a forerunner of what’s to come.

The group is ringing in a new chapter and dive even further into the grande realms of colossal old fashioned rock, with a severe morbid twist and certain doom.

LUCIFER invites you to take a wild ride in their 1972 Cadillac hearse past tombs and churches, down the very roads taken by Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Fleetwood Mac before them. Like the Pacific Coast Highway this road isn't new. It's timeless and it's fucking beautiful.

Get psyched and watch the Lyric Video below

“Wild Hearses” is now available on all major streaming platforms: https://lucifer.lnk.to/WildHearses-SingleID
