Lucifuge
"Hexensabbat"
Dying Victims
Prod. 2024
Lucifige is not
a band for whose next albums I wait impatiently, looking out of the window from
behind the curtain. Because I don't have to wait. The gentlemen regularly plant
new recordings under my nose, being one of the most regular bands on the scene.
"Hexensabbat" is album number six. An album that doesn't really bring
anything new, neither to the band's style nor to the canon of the genre. But if
you like Teutonic thrash metal played somewhat in the black metal fashion,
beware passing by this album indifferently. Despite the fact that there are so
many well-known and loved melodies here that you can count them in
wheelbarrows, the Germans give me hellava joy with their music. There's
a natural ease in this music, a tribute to the old school, and really good
melodies reminiscent of the 1980s and 1990s. Each, and I mean literally each,
of the tracks on this album is the quintessence of metal. It's impossible to
stand still while listening to it, as your foot stomping on its own and your
clenched fist thrusting into the air. Whether the guys play fast or at a moderate
pace, their sounds are constantly accompanied by that spirit that once
whispered in the ears of such personages as Petrozza, Schimer or Angelripper.
Classic, sharp riffs, great solos, straightforward drum beats and rough vocals.
If one still manages to put these worn-out elements together in the right way,
as the heart dictates, without the shadow of a pose or pretending to be someone
one is not, then we come out with "Hexensabbat" in the equation.
There are no boundary breakers here, but, to quote a classic, "Evil has no
boundaries." So reach for this material, fly to Sabbath and dance there
merrily around the fire to the songs of Lucifuge.
