Biography

Lucifer Star Machine play fired-up Rock'n'Roll, combining the attitude and energy of Punk with the musicianship of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal 

 

Their high energy live shows cement their reputation as a true in-your-face Rock 'n' Roll act. But it's the combination of this wanton brutality with their flair for heartfelt and catchy melodies that really sets them apart.

 

The German 5-piece was originally founded in London, UK in 2002 and has since been touring across Europe.

The band was selected as tour support for the former Motörhead guitarist‘s outfit Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons and toured or shared stages with acts like Agnostic Front, The Bones, Comeback Kid, Peter Pan Speedrock, Nashville Pussy, Supersuckers, Anti-Nowhere League, Turbo AC’s, Mad Sin and Demented Are Go.

In recent years the band hit the stage at Wacken Open Air, followed by performances at Ain’t Like You, Stoned From The Underground and several other festivals. 

 

Even though Lucifer Star Machine's first output was produced by Punk Rock legend Rat Scabies of The Damned and the band was lauded for their authenticity and unadorned approach, constant line up changes and personal difficulties stopped the outfit to rise to their full potential. 

 

Once founder and band leader Tor Abyss moved back to his home country of Germany, his relentless drive forced him to give the band a fresh start. After a few single releases the band signed a record deal with Swedish label The Sign Records. The group’s fourth album “The Devil’s Breath” was released worldwide in April 2020 and received praise by the international press.

 

The band toured the record extensively in 2022, after Covid-19 restrictions were lifted, with shows in Germany, Spain, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom.

 

During the pandemic, Lucifer Star Machine has written and recorded a new full length 

record. “Satanic Age” was released by The Sign Records in April 2023, predated by four singles with accompanying videos. The album could once again gain positive attention by the press. Following their German release tour, the band has been playing shows throughout Europe.
