From The disturbing album cover To Theband 's name,You might think that this Germanband is followingBLACK SABBATH 's lead back in 1970. Well not quite. The MUSICHEAVY , andThe organ really playsA prominent role in LUCIFER'S FRIEND'sSound . British vocalist John Lawton is fantastic here, and I agree with Vibrationbaby who compares HIS vocals ToRonnie James DIO . of course Lawton would go On ToFORUriah Heep . I really dig this style of MUSIC , and it's really well played with some great songs.
The First track "Ride The Sky" was TheFirst single they released inThe USA, and it granted them some success there. It's The only song where TheA back seat, and it'sThe most SABBATH-like. It opens with Lawton yelling out before A SABBATH-like HEAVY rhythm comes throbbing in. "Everybody's Clown" features more heaviness and The organ and bass are prominent. The Nice guitar solo after A minute. It settles A minute later before Lawton yells and TheThe organ is great. "Keep Goin '" is my favorite track On here. LOVE The guitar intro.This is dark and sinister sounding. Vocals before A minute are reserved FORTheFirstTime as it calms down. Check out HIS vocals as he starts To get more passionate. It kicks back in. Fantastic organ followed by A guitar solo 2 1/2 minutes in. Nice bass lines too. Themes are repeated.

"Toxic Shadows " opens with organ as ASound comes in quickly. Raw guitar with vocals before A minute. Nice. It settles before 3 minutes with some steller bass, then this wondrous guitar solo comes in and goes On and OnThe vocals return. A top three track FOR sure. "Free Baby" opens with this cool sounding pulsating organ as bass and drums join in with guitar then vocals. Great Sound here. A nice HEAVY soundscape throughout with The ever-present pulsating organ. Some excellent guitar after 2 1/2 minutes. "Baby Your A Liar" opens with some power before TheA more catchy mode. A calm after 1 1/2 minutes is blown away quickly by guitar and organ. Killer endng! "In The Timeof Job When Mammon WasA Yippie ". What? This is an uptempo rocker with some vocal melodies before 2 minutes. An instrumental interlude follows with lots of organ. I like this song.

"Lucifer's Friend" reminds me of DEEP PURPLE . Some atmosphere To OpenTheMUSIC then kicks in and vocals arrive afterA minute. Killer guitar solo 2 1/2 minutes in. Organ solo 4 1/2 minutes in. ()
