Lucifer Mix Melody and Metal in Video for New Song “Midnight Phantom”

Stockholm based metal band Lucifer has released “Midnight Phantom,” the second single off of the band’s upcoming studio album Lucifer III. The song blends the 1980’s hard rock sounds that influence the sound of the band with their own blend of metal rock, creating a unique perspective of the metal genre. The grainy visuals pair perfectly with the grimy, grungy style of the tune.

Why no one has yet merged Autopsy and Blue Öyster Cult into four minutes is a mystery to us,” stated Lucifer front woman Johanna Sadonis. “Midnight Phantom came to us in a collective nightmare and we think he made us accomplish this. Enjoy the horrors of The Phantom. Tonight.

Lucifer III will be the band’s third work, following up Lucifer II, which was released in 2018. In addition to recently performing at Psycho Las Vegas, the band released the first single of the album, “Ghosts,” in late January of this year, which only sparked more anticipation for the release of Lucifer III among critics and fans.

Lucifer III is set to drop on March 20th of this year. Following the release of the new album, Lucifer is set to tour around Europe beginning the night of the album release in their hometown of Stockholm, and ending in November 7th in Great Yarmouth, UK.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
