History
Metalucifer was a side-project of Japanese Metal band Sabbat’s Gezol. The band was named after the Sabbat song Metalucifer and formed in Kuwana in Central Japan in 1995. The band opened with a short full-length before bombarding the world with live recordings of every show it plays - virtually. The band hit Europe in 2000 with European musician Elizabagore in tow. The 7” EP, Warriors Again, featured Bill Andrews of Massacre and Death on drums in the year 2000.

Guitarist Samm is Gezol’s brother. Skol Records issued a tribute album to the band in 2011. The band and Sabbat issued a split record called Bolivian Demonslaught. It was limited to 666 copies. Metal collector Neal Tanaka appears on most albums by the band. Metalucifer is consciously influenced by NWOBHM. Bulldozing It True, a new DVD from the Japanese heavy metal act, was released on November 23rd, 2012 through Iron Pegasus Records.

The band has played with Hirax, Overkill and Destruction among others. The group occasionally rides a bulldozer onto the stage. Metal Proof/Evil Records is owned by Gezol. In 2014, Tormentor also joined Asphyx. Ultra Metal - 20th Anniversary Gig Guerra Total and Metalucifer issued a split CD through Forgotten Wisdom Productions in 2017. Bulldozing Kuala Lumpur was recorded at Blackest of The Blackest Black festival in Malaysia in 2019. An EP called Live In Taiwan was a split with Sabbat in 2019. It was recorded in Taiwan during the Asian Tyrants tour in that year.
