Just one week before embarking on the second leg of their 2024 Satanic Panic European Tour, right in time for spooky season, heavy occult rock congregation LUCIFER have unveiled a stunning cover version of the late, great Leonard Cohen‘s ‘Who By Fire’.

Featuring doom metal Bobby Liebling of PENTAGRAM as a duet partner for Johanna Platow Andersson, you can witness two generations of occult rock and doom metal joining forces here: https://lucifer.bfan.link/who-by-fire

Johanna commented: “Growing up with Leonard Cohen’s music, as my mother was a passionate fan, I have always been profoundly touched by his lyrics and of course especially gravitated towards this extremely haunting death theme. Bobby Liebling and I have been talking about collaborating for quite a few years now. When I knew I wanted Lucifer to cover ‘Who By Fire’, Bobby was the perfect one to interpret this very eerie song and I am so glad he said yes. Being a huge Pentagram fan, this is quite something for me! We are extremely pleased how ‘Who By Fire’ turned into a Lucifer song and Halloween was the perfect occasion to release this morbid work.

LUCIFER will continue their successful 2024 Satanic Panic European Tour next week, and once again they’re being joined by German rising stars, The Night Eternal. The tour package will be completed by US heavy metal band Tanith, which features Russ Tippins (original guitar player of NWOBHM legends SATAN) on guitar and vocals.
