LUCIFER-X released their debut EP
Lucifer-X, the Imphal based thrash metal band, has released their debut EP at Manipur Press Club on 30th December 2017.
Lucifer-X was formed in December 12, 2012. Spanning a career as a metal musician for 5 years with no adequate promotion and financial backings, the band was unable to record and release their own materials. But with an uncompromising resolution and a firm determination, Lucifer-X has released their first EP (Extended Play) titled, “PROJECT XTERMINATION”, consisting of five songs. It is a self release, with no connection with any record label. All was done independently.
The band’s current lineup comprises guitarist Chand Khomdram, vocalist Lamjingba Wangkhem, drummer Aagoo Takhelchangbam, and bassist Birjit Kangjam. In the 5 years since its inception, Lucifer-X has had many lineup changes, and Lamjingba, Aagoo and Birjit has been the only constant member.

And as this really is not the end of the band, we are further planning to start writing new materials from the beginning of 2018. We will try our best to help spreading Thrash Metal and promote the local Metal Scene in Manipur”.
