The story of Norwegian Lucifer Was began as early as 1969 influenced by the likes of Black Sabbath, Black Widow & Coven. Then under a different name but sometime during the 1970's they changed it to LUCIFER WAS to avoid mixing with the other Lucifer's of the times. LUCIFER WAS was then active up to 1974 gigging around in the Oslo area but not much more. Then after the split up in '74 nothing happened for (except a shortlived re-union in '77) over 20 years when the band discovered an old tape and got re-united. First album, "Undreground & Beyond" released in '97 is actually LUCIFER WAS originals from the 70's re-recorded! Then in 2000 LUCIFER WAS second album came out, "In Anadi's Bower", followed in 2005 by "Blues from Hellah" setting the foundation for one of the most interesting "new" bands of today.
"The Divine Tree" consists of six tracks, ranging in time from five to eleven minutes. The music is at the same time both weird and normal, and makes for an accessible, but still challenging listening pleasure. It's progressive, cathedral, heavy, bluesy and melodic. This album is oddly weird, oddly normal.
