Whoa I Know what your thinking a top 5 album of all-time, for a death metal age and a avant-garde metal age publication.
First thing I would like to say right away. Is there are two peerless albums.
Coven featuring World-Class Vocalist Jinx Dawson, who’s “Witchcraft Reaps Souls and Destroys Minds” And The Debut album from Riti Occulti “Riti Occulti” are two of my favorite albums of all-time.
And I though I would never find a 3rd album as a companion piece to those two timeless masterpieces.
And This album
Lucifer “Lucifer I” is that album.
So I have my regular collection, cd’s for my work truck, a back-up collection, east coast. back-up collection West Coast. A KICK*ASS*METAL HEAVY METAL HALL OF FAME ALBUM COLLECTION.
And now I will be getting a secret stash of 5 CD’s on which I can rebuild and build a record collection from.
Coven * Witchcraft Reaps Souls and Destroys Minds
RitiOcculti * RitiOcculti
Lucifer * Lucifer I
Mercyful Fate * Melissa
Crest of Darkness * The Ogress.
This is what KICK*ASS*METAL is
THE SACRED 700 of all metal, all gothic across the spectrum of rock, metal and avant-garde. The TOP 700 albums in each genre and sub-genre of metal, gothic, avant-garde and avant-garde classical with a gothic aesthetic.
A band’s genre is not important here, authenticity and music as supreme immortal art of the highest order that is timeless and peerless are the main factors. At KICK*ASS*METAL and nothing else.
Above World-Class Vocalist Johanna Sadonis
NOW obviously THIS IS A RIFF LORD TRADITIONAL METAL list and not a Dark Metal or Gothic Metal or a Horror Metal or a Death Metal or a Avant-Garde Metal List, of the top 700 THE SACRED 700 album of all-time.
Besides The COVEN and Mercyful Fate on this list, I really want everyone to pay attention to how much RUSH is on this list, and Lucifer’s tribute respect to RUSH (in there logo design) did not go unpassed me when thinking about why this band RULES so much, and why they are so inspired to be the top notch world-class artist that they are.

“KICK•ASS•METAL • Cover Photo change • Johanna Sadonis • The Oath / Lucifer • Legend and FAME. Her first top 100 album of all-time & KICK•ASS•METAL Heavy Metal Halll Of Fame. Happened in March 2014 and her second top 100 album of all-time, Happened in May 2015. Only Metallica and Mercyful Fate 1983 & 1984 have similar achievements..”
THE ABOVE QUOTE IS FROM OUR Facebook official presence, when Johanna Sadonis was featured on our Cover Photo, on October 16th, 2015
Johanna Sadonis is one of the few people on the above KICK*ASS*METAL Hall of fame list to have back to back classic albums, Two years in a row.
Below is the bands Bio from there official facebook presence
“Berlin/London based heavy doom rock band, LUCIFER, have this week unleashed their highly anticipated debut album, Lucifer I,… and confirmed their first ever London show.
Front woman, Johanna Sadonis – formerly of The Oath – commented on the release:
“It is with great pride that we present Lucifer I, our first album. Crafted between London and Berlin, we’ve given it our all. We are tremendously excited for Lucifer I to descend into the light of day now and have been overwhelmed by the fantastic response so far!”
LUCIFER will play The Borderline in London on September 3, 2015.
The band recently released their first single, Izrael. The track was written by Sadonis and ex-Cathedral guitarist, Gaz Jennings. The video for the track – directed by Sadonis and Chris Koll – was shot partly at LUCIFER’s first Berlin show in April, and has notched up thousands of plays in its first few days online. Watch the video for Izrael here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7DipwzfPOM
Whilst The Oath was a much-celebrated band, following their premature demise, Sadonis wasted no time in creating a new beast to go beyond previous limitations. Having released their debut single, Anubis earlier this year, there has been a significant buzz generating around LUCIFER.
Eschewing the now well-worn clichés of the ‘occult-rock explosion’ in favour of a truthful and tempestuous re-imagining of classic 70s proto-metal and heavy doom, the eight songs on this band’s debut album crackle and fizz with burgeoning energy and the compelling conviction of music made for all the right reasons.
Although still firmly rooted in the fertile soil first cultivated by Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Blue Oyster Cult, LUCIFER exist in a proudly liberated and limitless sonic realm, where the heaviest doom rock is a mere starting point for the band’s skyward creative trajectory.
LUCIFER have recently been announced to tour with High on Fire and Pallbearer in the United States, with more European shows planned for later in the year. The band have also landed the coveted cover of the current issue of American heavy metal bible, Decibel. ”
June, 2015
Lucifer was Founded on June 13, 2014 and call there UNIQUE brand of music Heavy Magic Rock.
Lucifer is 100 percent on the heavy. And the song-writing magic, the band went all out. to create a timeless masterpiece of pure musical evocation
