  • The Divine Tree

    TRANS025

    Artist: LUCIFER WAS

    Label: Transubstans Records

    4th album from Norweigan rockers who was originally formed in the early 70's. It’s progressive, cathedral, heavy, bluesy and melodic featuring Thore Engen, born on the dark side of the moon. This album is oddly weird, oddly normal ! All the LUCIFER WAS trademarks; screaming guitars, the flutes, occasional mellotrons, heavy hammonds and Jon Ruders enchanting vocals, are all present. For the first time we also find the new guitarrist Freddie Lindquist, who were responsible for the great "Menu" album in the mid 70's joining the band. A highly original band that are very recommended for friends of heavy 70's music, be it URIAH HEEP, ATOMIC ROOSTER or MOUNTAIN !

  • Underground & Beyond

    TRANS006

    Artist: LUCIFER WAS

    Label: Transubstans Records

    New pressing of this deleted album since many years. This time with added 2 bonus tracks, written in the old days, and perhaps the heaviest tunes by LUCIFER WAS so far !! On these 2 tracks, we have guest apparences by member of AUNT MARY !!! For those of you not familiar with LUCIFER WAS, we can describe them as a hybrid of progressive JETHRO TULL style mixed with 70's hardrock ala BLACK SABBATH. This is their debut album, and also their heaviest one !!

  • Blues from Hellah

    TRANS001

    Artist: LUCIFER WAS

    Label: Transubstans Records

    This third album from the Norwegian progressive legends LUCIFER WAS offers a well though album that contains a little more blues influenced style. It is also more symphonic as they add more orchestration than before. The flutes and dreamy vocals are as present as always, with a clear JETHRO TULL influence. Mr Axeman delivers some excellent bleeding guitar solos, especially in the CAPTAIN BEYOND cover “Armworth”. This is a release filled with magic and love for the 70’s scene – a time when music had no limits. Highly recommended!
