Jucifer live at Volume 11 Raleigh NC ROCK!!

Jucifer - you'll have to pump the volume to jet engine level to experience the sound they made. The music was absurd metal, and absurdly great. Less melodic and more noise art than when I've seen them in the past. HEAVY and LOUD. I'd love to see them battle against a good Japanese noise rock band - Jucifer's sound would mow them over like a metal tsunami!! Performing at Volume 11 in Raleigh NC Jan 30 2008. Local greats Caltrop opened.

"Less melodic & more noise art than... in the past." Sadly, IMO anyway, that's the story of the last decade of their existence as a band. Early LPs aside (because even those weren't supposed to be vintage Jucifer, esp. as far as live performances went) they're just getting worse & worse. Faster & faster instead of heavier. Heard what was supposed to be their new album the other night- just terrible, if it's even them, can't be sure anymore. BTW I grew up in Athens, seen em probably 30+ times...

@7H353U5 I love their noise art approach when live. But I find a lot of their recorded material unlistenable (what I've heard), though the same stuff live is superb. What LP would you most recommend I check out? I'll do it.

...sigh. Noise art eh? I could play "noise art" after 1 week of playing guitar. My 4 year old nephew can pig squeal better than this bitch can sing.

Ha, you're funny, obviously not into this sort of music. Or are you in a metal band and jealous these guys are awesome and people love their shows? I'm sure you and your nephew could make noise, but would anyone think it was worth a damn?

Lars ulrich has nothing on this dude.....

@superround There's definitely nothing like em live, that's why the heavy feeling in their sound can't even really be captured on record. The Lambs, & War Bird (separate) EP's are by far the closest they ever came to capturing the essence of Jucifer on disc. Their 1st album was almost pop at times, IIRC Ed said it was the soundtrack to a screenplay he'd been writing. I dont want to crap on a band that was once my all time fave, but their focus on fast thrash instead of heavy turned me off : /

@7H353U5 I've been listening all all of their albums for a few months. Really like all of it. Saw them live tonight in Austin. Was very disappointed. I could hardly recognize any of the songs. The volume was ridiculous. She didn't sing much at all and seemed to be actually playing to recording of herself screaming.

I'd much rather here them play something intelligible.

why are people hating on throned in blood? I think its one of the best metal albums in recent years. As an album, it just feels really unique, but more importantly, it stays true to itself

@jehrising Bass tuned guitar you could say.

When i saw them play live for the first time (years ago) i was blown away, and bought all their albums. I was mortified when i listened to the albums. Although I enjoy most of the songs (now), its like two separate bands. They should have live albums along with each studio. New album rips though.

Their newest is close also

Agree

let ignorants close their minds to refuse to consider or acknowledge music and art.

and of course kids...lol

the fact is that they exist..music like jucifer does exist for a reason..and I can only say thanks to those ignorants who think jucifer sucks

it makes it even better when people(kids) say it ..^^

[Superstarseven]

Yeah, nice lies you told there.
