Before Lucifer's Friend were founded, its members were involved in several other bands like Asterix, Electric Food or Pink Mice. Their best albums are the self-titled debut album from 1971 as well as their masterpiece "How The Groupies Killed The Blues" from 1972, even though the world press celebrated their fourth album "Banquet" with enthusiasm. The music is a style mix of Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep and experimental hardrock. "Ride The Sky" from their first album is a killer hardrock song in best Led Zeppelin tradition. The song "Sorrow" is the highlight of the third album "Banquet", which was published in 1974. On their later albums, the music developed towards mainstream hardrock. Their singer John Lawton joined Uriah Heep in 1976. |
