Lucifer V
When the Devil invented rock 'n' roll, this is almost certainly what he had in mind. Not entirely surprisingly, "Lucifer V" is the fifth album by LUCIFER. Like its predecessors (doomy debut "Lucifer" possibly excepted),  it sounds like a candlelit riot in some ornately decorated but seedy dive b...January 24, 2024

From shouting at the devil, to being soundly trampled by grunge, glam/hair/sleaze, metal was easy enough to appreciate, even at its worst.

It begins with a warm wave of mournful brass, suggesting that UNDERDARK may have mellowed over the two years since their first album, "Our Bodies Burned Bright On Re-Entry".
