On the Hunt for True Metal: Metalucifer’s ‘Heavy Metal Hunter’ (HRR234)
Today we spotlight a release dedicated to the purest essence of heavy metal: “Heavy Metal Hunter” by the Japanese band Metalucifer, carrying the catalog number HRR234.
This specific identifier, HRR234, points to a release (likely a vinyl reissue from 2012) on the German label High Roller Records, known for championing traditional heavy metal. Metalucifer itself is a revered name in the underground, formed as a side project by Gezol, the frontman of the legendary black/thrash band Sabbat.
Unlike Sabbat’s darkness, Metalucifer is a passionate homage to the glory days of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) and classic 80s heavy metal. “Heavy Metal Hunter” (originally released in 1996) embodies this spirit perfectly. The music is straightforward, riff-driven, and anthemic, filled with galloping rhythms, high-pitched vocals (often handled by Gezolucifer himself or guest vocalists), and twin-guitar harmonies.
The lyrical themes, as the title suggests, often revolve around the very subject of heavy metal itself – celebrating the music, the lifestyle, and the dedication of its fans (“Heavy Metal Hunters”). Tracks from this era typically include anthems like the title track, “Heavy Metal Is My Way,” and others extolling the virtues of steel.
This High Roller Records release (HRR234) offers fans a chance to own a piece of Metalucifer’s history, showcasing their unwavering dedication to traditional heavy metal in its purest form. It’s an essential item for any “Heavy Metal Hunter” who worships at the altar of classic riffs and true metal spirit.
