We would like to tell you about
musicians and bands not so well
known around the world. This is
the story of Luciferian Rites -
Black Metal band from Mexico.
Luciferian Rites is a Black Metal project created in mid-2006,
started by Shadow (Vocal) and Abomination (Lead Guitar), with
the intention of creating their contribution to this genre, as the
weeks went by, Antichrist joined as the first drummer of the band,
w i t h whom the band was established as a 3-member band, this first lineup
lasted a few years until being able to record what was the first demo titled The
Kingdom of the Black Moon, limited to just 50 copies in 2009. During the same year
the band added Sepulchral to the lineup as the first official bassist and began a
new stage now as a 4-member band, having a more complete live sound.
At the beginning of 2010, we began recording our first album, which is titled
“Evangelion of the Black Misanthropy” and the album did not come out until the
end of 2011. Shortly after recording our first album, Sepulchral left the band.
It was not until 2014 that we began recording what was our second full album
“When the Light Dies”.
During the release period, Serpentor joined the lineup as the new bassist and
shortly after, due to very delicate personal reasons, Antichrist left the band,
and shortly after XIII took his place as the new drummer, being this the longest
and solid lineup for many years. The band had presentations in several cities in
Mexico, and also outside the country, managing to be active for a very long time
in the following years, and recording what was our first Split album “Luciferian
Abominations from Kur-Nu-Gi-A” with one of the most recognized bands in our
country, “Ereshkigal” from Mexico City. A couple of years later, at the end of 2019
more precisely, our second Split album “Astral Projection of the Anti-Existence”
with Colombian band “Necrario” was recorded and ready to be released in 2020
but this was stopped for a long time due to the pandemic, and so the band had
a break, being inactive for many months, in which they finished polishing and
reconstructing new and old songs. In that pandemic era, XIII left the band due to
work and family reasons.
At the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 the band began to record what is the
current third album “Oath of Midnight Ashes”. With this new album the band
decided to integrate a second guitarist to the lineup, “Thanatos”, with this new
lineup LR has an even more solid and stronger sound, which has pleased locals
and strangers, it is a new stage for the group and we are ready for the upcoming
events and presentations.
