LUCIFER are a busy band, having just recently released the 7″ single “Dirt In The Ground”, they now stuck their heads together with their Berlin peers KADAVAR to collaborate for a special vinyl single.
It features LUCIFER’s take on the ferociously moody classic “Pull Away/So Many Times”, the opening track of DUST’s second album “Hard Attack” released in 1972. This album would also remain the last album of the US band, who are considered one of the earliest Heavy Metal groups.
On the flipside KADAVAR takes a bow to one of Britains most important guitar players, PETER GREEN of FLEETWOOD MAC, to cover the heavy “The Green Manalishi (With The Two Prong Crown)” which would be Green’s last ever recorded track with the band.
The single will be physically available on March 19th, 2021 on LUCIFER’s own label RIDING REAPER RECORDS, as well as KADAVAR’s very own label ROBOTOR RECORDS.
The 7” is limited to 1.500 copies and comes in 5 different colors (black, red, orange, white and blue) along with different bundle package options that are now available for pre-order via the bands web stores.
Thrilled about this collaboration and the upcoming release, Johanna comments as follows:
“Both KADAVAR and LUCIFER have their roots in Berlin and we go back to the founding days of both bands where we shared the same scene. With our combined love for the deep cuts of the 60s and 70s we decided to cover two of our favorite songs together for a 7″ single. We picked MARKY RAMONE’s criminally underrated, glorious first band DUST. It is the first time that I duet together with our guitarist LINUS BJÖRKLUND and we had a blast recording it!
KADAVAR most relevantly chose to pay homage to the late PETER GREEN with this classic FLEETWOOD MAC number. Being a huge FLEETWOOD MAC fan myself this is the perfect choice to round off this nugget. We are very excited about this single and hope you dig our tributes!”

“Pull Away/So Many Times” is now also available on all digital platforms LINK
Lucifer are currently in the studio to record their highly praised 2020 follow-up “LUCIFER IV”.

Berlin, Germany-based rock overlords KADAVAR have released the official music video for the song ‘The Devil’s Master’, the opening track of the band’s highly anticipated new album, »For The Dead Travel Fast«. The epic western movie styled music video was shot in Fuerteventura and stars actress Lucie Aron as well as the band’s members Lupus, Tiger and Dragon.
Commented the band:
Lupus: “Fuerteventura was the perfect set for the idea to shoot a small Spaghetti Western. In the Story, everyone is fighting everyone: there are cutthroats who don‘t trust each other trying to survive in the desert. They are hunted by their enemy, a violent priest who enslaves a young lady, who both of the cowboys admire. In the end, there won‘t be any winners…”
Tiger: “The song is about the worst ideas of the people, the attraction of horror and the seductive scent of the disreputable. Just as it is all too human to feel at the mercy of his fears, so comprehensible it seems to give way to the fascination of evil in the face of death.”
»For The Dead Travel Fast« will be released on October 11 (initially September 20), 2019 via Nuclear Blast and is now available for pre-order.
The album will be released in various formats – see photos below: – Limited Box-Set including limited tri-colored vinyl, limited tri-colored bonus vinyl including 4 previously unreleased tracks, CD/Blu-Ray Digi (including the KADAVAR & THE COSMIC RIDERS OF THE BLACK SUN live show, Berlin 2019), Poster, signed photo card, patch, sticker. – CD/Blu-Ray Digi (including the KADAVAR & THE COSMIC RIDERS OF THE BLACK SUN live show, Berlin 2019) – Vinyl (black, beige, bi-colored, cornetto)
