Οι Γερμανοί spaced out πρωτοπόροι του μέταλ Lucifer’s Friend, στο καταιγιστικό ομώνυμο τραγούδι από το …ομώνυμο πρώτο τους άλμπoυμ, κυκλοφορημένο την ίδια χρονιά με το ντεμπούτο των Sabbath.
The German spaced out metal pioneers, Lucifer’s Friend, on the smashing eponymous song from their …eponymous debut album, released in the same year that “Black Sabbath” came out.
Fear and fright since yesterday night
The little man knocked at my window
The hour he’d want but he had to run
But he’ll be back again
Since yesterday night, I lived in fear of fright
I still hear his voice shouting
Through the night
I asked manny, I asked sue don’t know
What to do
Every hour I cry I don’t want to die
Fear is in my brain
Since yesterday night, I lived in fear of fright
I still hear his voice shouting
Through the night
Come take my hand I’m Lucifer’s friend
Tonight is the end of your way
Come take my hand I’m Lucifer’s friend
Tonight is the end of your way
Take me, take me away, you can have me,
You can take me, you can take me away.
It’s been a long time since I heard Lucifer’s Friend. Like Black Sabbath, their seemly simple music is quite complex. Especially when compared to a lot of music out there these days.
I agree! After all Lucifer’s Friend evolved rapidly and by their 4th album, Banquet they were a full prog-fusion unit.
LF was my very first metal experience. What a voice this guy John Lawton had. He passed away on the 6th of July this year. He had joined Uriah Heep after LF

His voice was amazing. I commented on your post.
I didn’t know this band!
Love the song, and the energy.
Uriah Heep was interesting!
