My friend Thore's band Lucifer Was has been around since the lat 70's. Now there's a new album out: The Divine Tree. It is a strong album -- uncompromising riffs, mythic lyrics and part of an epic cycle of albums started decades ago.
Lucifer Was is a Nordic prog rock band strongly influenced by early seventies guitar, flute and vocal-oriented melodic progressive heavy rock.
The band's heavy guitar based sound is characterized by the creative use of the flute and unusual instruments like the Mellotron. Imagine a mix of Black Sabbath and early East Of Eden, with a dash of Jethro Tull.
Band leader Thore Engen's lyrics have a mystical flair, and all the albums so far are part of a larger poetic cycle on the fall of the angel Lucifer.
