Lucifer’s Hammer were originally formed in Santiago de Chile during the first months of 2013 by Hades and Titan (guitar/vocals and drums, respectively). Their aim was to create a heavy metal band inspired by the sound of the 1970s and 1980s. The two brothers recorded the first demo Night Sacrifice, which received positive feedback and raised interest both inside and outside the country. Moving forward to 2016, now joined by Hypnos for the twin guitar work, Lucifer’s Hammer recorded the long awaited first album entitled Beyond The Omens, a successful album that showed all the potential of the Chilean heavy metal act. The characteristic sound demonstrated on the first full-length was complemented by the Victory is Mine«EP in 2017, which explored the obscure and dynamic repertoire of the band. Now as a four-piece, with Sirius on bass, Lucifer’s Hammer delivers Time Is Death, the follow-up to Beyond The Omens. This is Lucifer’s Hammer’s second full-length album, quite clearly a more mature effort in comparison to their debut album: We believe that the main change has been in terms of experience. Experience has given us more insight, we got to the point where we know exactly where we want to go, and how to make our ideas become reality. Our early compositions and ideas were made just to express our visceral musical desires. We didn’t question ourselves if it was wrong or right, we just wanted to explore and exploit our inner passion and drive for playing music, a sort of showcase for our convictions and thoughts. Today, we still feel the same, but we have gained more experience and now possess the will to do things better than before. Some of the songs on Time Is Death show influences of the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, Prisoners Of The Night for example. Drummer Titan agrees: As very young fellas, we fell in love with the distinctive sound of the NWOBHM: Saxon, Grim Reaper, Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Tank, Venom, the list goes on. They’re just great bands showing us the way in which we wanted to aim, the sound coming from the streets, the rawness and the obscurity, we praise and worship that style. So fans of pure heavy metal should check this release out
