Today's Listen


Lucifer's Friend - Lucifer's Friend (1971)

Great hard-rock/early-metal with high similarities to bands like Deep Purple and Uriah Heep with an occasional dash of Black Sabbath. Spooky name, spooky cover, and at times the music is a little eerie, but the overall product is a smokin' hot piece of metal. Although the music borders on progressive with its complex arrangements, it rocks really well the whole way through, propelled by darkly heavy guitar, sizzling organ work, and fantastic vocals that often match the talent of Ronnie James Dio. If you like early metal and/or Deep Purple, chances are you'll enjoy this too.
