Metalucifer is a Japanese heavy metal band that has been championing the genre with a distinctly old-school flare since the late 1990s. The band was formed by Gezolucifer (of Sabbat fame) with the intent of paying homage to the traditional heavy metal sound of the 1980s, drawing inspiration from iconic acts such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Saxon. Their lyrical content often revolves around heavy metal itself, reinforcing the band's dedication to the genre and its culture.

The band's fascination with heavy metal is reflected not only in their sound but also in the titles of their releases. Metalucifer has a discography marked by a consistent theme that underscores their passion for metal, with a string of albums and songs that contain the words "Heavy Metal" in their titles. Amongst their most recent releases are "Heavy Metal Ninja" and "Heavy Metal Bulldozer," both of which serve as solid examples of their commitment to delivering high-energy, riff-driven music. Other titles like "Heavy Metal Chainsaw," "Heavy Metal Hunter," and "Heavy Metal Drill" further illustrate their penchant for marrying the spirit of metal with an almost tongue-in-cheek reverence for the genre. In the metal community, Metalucifer has earned a cult following, recognized for their unwavering dedication to the classic sounds of heavy metal.
