L' Autrichienne >>

'L'autrichienne,' the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Relapse debut 'If Thine Enemy Hunger', is the most ambitious JUCIFER record to date. Amber Valentine's distinctive voice varies from harsh, banshee screams to softly moaned intonations against a raw palette that varies in terms of tempo and volume but never wavers in emotive intensity. JUCIFER reinvents metallic shoegazing on 'L'autrichienne.'

War Bird >>

Echoing everything from bands like Pink Floyd, the Breeders, and of course Black Sabbath, WAR BIRD delivers grinding, tumbling dirge structures one minute, French sung pop based head trips the next, then onto delicate yet tense structures with a choir of Satan's cheerleaders quietly encanting "something" the next.

If Thine Enemy Hunger >>

The infamous JUCIFER has returned with its long-awaited new full-length If Thine Enemy Hunger. ...Hunger, the Athens, GA power -duo's first proper album in almost four years, serves up an unforgettable collection of the melodic, bombastic rock that is their calling card. The dreamy, seductive vocals of the gorgeous Amber Valentine melt into monolithic walls of guitar and pounding drums (courtesy of wildman Edgar Livengood) to form the most infectious heavy rock you will ever hear. With a sound as big as the hooks it's 15 tracks carry, If Thine Enemy Hunger is a total eargasm and vibrant return to form by one of the US's most unique rock bands.

I Name You Destroyer >>

Jucifer takes all the heartwarming, bashfully romantic notions you’ve ever had about a couple making music together, puts them in the blender, pours two big pints, and (clink) gulps them down. For a band of any size--let alone a duo--they pack an abundance of sound into each song. Both Ed Livengood’s skillfully crazed drumbeats and Amber Valentine’s distortion-heavy, pulpy guitar riffs have a thickness that seems to cry out, "Rebel against everything around you!" At the same time, though, the sound is rooted in poppiness, almost as if the pace and beats of each song were first conceived by Quincy Jones. Meanwhile, Valentine’s vocal work has a lilting, effortless quality that is similarly poppy in quality and would often seem only slightly discernable over the pulsing music behind it, except the lyrics fill her voice with an almost carelessly jaded potency. Though always derisive, the music is never angry (anger has been done, and it’s boring). Livengood and Valentine craft their corpulent sound with a skill that is never sloppy, never rash, yet makes it clear they aren’t interested in your opinion; they couldn't care less. --Mark Huntsman
