Every misfortune can turn out to have a silver lining. That’s the kind of twist life sometimes has in store for us – and it’s precisely what singer Johanna Sadonis went through in the space of just one year. 2014 saw the release of the first album of her band The Oath, as well as said band’s demise. Johanna’s effervescent duo with Linnéa Olsson was full of promises, but as the singer confesses, it ended bitterly. But wallowing in sorrow is useless, and that same year, Johanna founded Lucifer with guitarist Gary Jennings, one of doom and stoner rock’s masters of riffs, renowned for his work with one of the kings of the genre, Cathedral.
Speaking of the devil, it was Lee Dorian, Cathedral’s former vocalist (they called it quits in 2013) and Rise Above Records’ current boss, who knocked at our digital door, explaining that Lucifer is now one of his label’s priority. The man has a good intuition for that sort of things (he was after all the one who discovered and signed Ghost, a band that offers retro music as well and has everyone talking about them now), and it’s obvious when you listen to the combo’s first record, soberly titled Lucifer I, that he was right once again.
Without a second thought, we picked up the phone to call Johanna, who told us about all this and more.
