Biography
Lucifer's Friend were a German hard rock band formed in Hamburg in 1970, fronted by John Lawton with Peter Hesslein, Dieter Horns and Peter Hecht. Their 1971 debut is an early heavy metal landmark, though the band ranged across progressive rock, jazz-funk and AOR before splitting in 1982. A 2010s reunion produced two final albums. Singer John Lawton later fronted *Uriah Heep* during the late 1970s.
