With a shift of constellation within the band in 2016 and Johanna Sadonis’ move from Berlin to Stockholm, LUCIFER were ready for chapter two. In Nicke Andersson, notable for his groups THE HELLACOPTERS, ENTOMBED, IMPERIAL STATE ELECTRIC, DEATH BREATH among others, Johanna found a new renowned writing partner.

In between albums, LUCIFER has released multiple outstanding stand-alone singles that have quickly become sought after collector’s items.

LUCIFER wasted no time and used the pandemic to record yet another long-player that rings in a new chapter and dives even further into the grande realms of colossal old fashioned rock, with a severe morbid twist. For this opus they entered guitarist Linus Björklund’s Studio Ryssviken for an even more heart-pounding drum sound while also continuing their work at The Honk Palace. The result was yet another critically acclaimed album – ‘LUCIFER IV’, released Halloween 2021. The singles accompanied by the notorious music videos for ‘Wild Hearses’, ‘Bring Me His Head’ & ’Crucifix (I Burn For You)’ rocketed the group once again into the Swedish and German charts and earned them yet another music prize nomination as best Group and best Hardrock/Metal for the Swedish Gaffa Price.
