Rising from Portugal, Lux Ferre was
created in the summer of '01 by two individuals: Baal Sabbath (guitars and bass) and
Devasth (vocals and programming). Their intention was to create Black Metal on its most
violent, fast and destructive form.
Soon was decided to record a demo and therefore the process began. Recorded during the
summer and autumn of '01, "Wicked Riffs Of War" was released in February '02 in
CDR format by Witchcraft Prod. limited to 100 copies. The feedback was positive and some
doors were opened. The sonority wasn't the desired one but the essence was there. On the
1st of October '02 War Prod. released the tape version of this demo now with improved
sonority and professional printing limited to 250 copies. Now the objective was a more
vast distribution.
Since that the tape version of the first demo had an incredible demand from all over the
world underground distros, Lux Ferre decided to release on 1st of February '03 a second
unexpected demo-tape entitled "Unholy Ascendance Of Satan". This demo-tape was
once again released by War Prod. but, this time limited to two editions of 66 copies each.
This demo-tape's objective was to show Lux Ferre's improved sonority and also to pay a
tribute to the three covered bands (Venom, Impaled Nazarene and Samael). This demo-tape
was meant to become an elitist item not suitable for large public.
On the 28th Of July '03 War Prod. released a three-way split CD featuring Flagellum Dei,
Lux Ferre and Sterkvind entitled "Kult Of The Black Flame" limited to 500
copies. This is Lux Ferre's first professional CD release.
In September '03 the song "The Light Of Darkness" was exclusively released for
the compilation CD "Lusitânia Dark Horde". This compilation CD released by
Nightmare Prod. features fifteen exclusive tracks from fifteen Portuguese bands like Storm
Legion, Acceptus Noctifer, Lux Ferre, Flagellum Dei, Decayed, Raptus, Thy Black Blood,
InThyFlesh, Onirik, Morte Incandescente, Flamma Aeterna, Coldness, Inner Helvete, Irae and
Corpus Christii.
"Antichristian War Propaganda" is the debut album released by Ketzer Rec. and
it's their first release with real drums which were recorded by Lord Mantus (Mysteriis,
Darkest Hate Warfront, AncientBlood). Mastered at Necromorbus Studios (Sweden) this
release demonstrates all the destructive power of Lux Ferre and is their most complete and
varied work to date. This album stands as the action of Satan's word.
