O Luciferion foi formado em 1993 na Suecia por Michael Nicklasson (guitarra), Peter Weiner (bateria), Martin Furängen (baixo) e Wojtek Lisicki (guitar e vocais).,
Seu debut foi lançado em 1994, o excelente Demonication (The Manifest), que mostrava um Death Metal trampado, com bastante melodia nos solos de guitarra.  Mas em seguida a banda sumiu por um tempo e retornou somente em 2003 com o ep The Apostate, que apresentava 5 musicas inéditas, 1 cover do Celtic Frost e ainda a demo The Demon Of 1994. O som mantinha aquele Death Metal trampado, mas com o diferencial dos teclados, que antes não tinham.
Infelizmente o grupo não durou muito. Em entrevista a um site europeu, o guitarrista, vocalista e principal compositor Wojtek Lisicki comentou o fim da banda: "Eu ficava triste quando nos associavam ao satanismo por causa do nome Luciferion. Somos contra qualquer tipo de religião, e quando formamos a banda tinhamos uma visão muito diferente das coisas. Portanto, dei preferência a usar minhas idéias em um outro projeto."
Wojtek atualmente mora nos EUA e gravou um álbum com a banda Against the Plagues.

Years before unleashing their critically acclaimed Earthshaker album in 1981, San Francisco's Y&T had enjoyed a brief, semi-covert existence in the mid-'70s, when they still went by their original name, the pre-shortening Yesterday & Today. Signed to the tiny London label, the quartet recorded two albums during this phase, the first of which was this eponymous 1976 debut. And although their name eventually changed, this album already boasted most of the sonic traits which would characterize the band's entire career thereafter, most notably, amazingly high musicianship standards all around and searing leads from main man Dave Meniketti. Highlights include the party-hardy anthem "25 Hours a Day," the emotional, atmospheric ballad "My Heart Plays Too," and the strutting tour de force "Fast Ladies (Very Slow Gin)." The excellent closer "Beautiful Dreamer" would also survive long into the band's latter days as a regular concert favorite, and sees Meniketti doing his best Sammy Hagar impression. Which raises the compelling theory that, in effect, Yesterday & Today actually bridged the gap between Montrose and Van Halen in the succession process of Californian hard rock. Given the quality of this debut, it's really a shame they didn't fare as well as either band..... by Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Tracks:
1. Animal Women (3:38)
2. 25 Hours a Day (3:37)

Struck Down was Yesterday & Today's second long-player, and their last release prior to changing their name to Y&T in the early '80s. And though not as consistent as the band's rock-solid debut two years earlier, it too collects a wealth of enjoyable material performed by an already very confident and mature band. Most noticeable of all, Struck Down is astoundingly heavy for its time, with high-energy cuts like the title track, "Road," and "Dreams of Egypt" packing loads of guts and swagger and evincing a bite which aptly captures the band's legendary live power onto vinyl. A few pedestrian moments, including the cheesy shuffle "Nasty Sadie," the rather one-dimensional "I'm Lost," and the psychedelic anachronism "Stargazer" keep this from being a fully satisfactory set, but they certainly could have done a lot worse... by Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

1981's Earthshaker is the only unanimous moment of Y&T's lengthy career. The only studio album that came close to capturing the power and energy of the San Francisco quartet's legendary concerts onto disc, the band's third L.P. was their first for new label A&M, and the first to see their original moniker Yesterday & Today shortened to its better-known incarnation. Vein-busting metal anthems like "Hurricane" and "Knock You Out" boast a menacing swagger not seen before or since, and, even though they slow things down just a bit, melodic hard rockers like "Let Me Go" and the classic "Rescue Me" never waver in intensity or purpose. Admittedly, a few of the mid-paced rockers ("Hungry for Rock," "Young and Tough") have not aged all that well, but in the manic "Squeeze," bassist Phil Kennemore takes over lead vocals so that regular frontman Dave Meniketti can deliver one of the most passionate, over-the-top lead guitar performances of his career. And Y&T save the best for last, climaxing with their signature power ballad, the dramatic "I Believe in You" -- easily one of the decade's best examples of the style, bar none. Simply put, Earthshaker is a virtual force of nature, and its no wonder Y&T found it an impossible act to follow...by Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Released in the wake of the critically acclaimed Earthshaker, 1982's Black Tiger was expected to catapult Y&T's career to the next level. But as the lifeless-treatment-given opening instrumental "From the Moon" makes immediately obvious, it's as if the band, producer Max Norman, and record label (A&M [the home of numerous successful pop acts, but clueless when it came to hard rock]) were all intent on botching the mission from the get-go. Rarely has a band sounded so stiff and stunted in the studio as Y&T did here. One can almost sense the band's sphincters clenching up when the red light goes on in the recording booth, such is the stale, uncomfortable vibe captured on Black Tiger. Not even the furious attack of "Open Fire" (later to become an explosive monster of a song in their live show) can save the day, and the dramatic closer "Winds of Change" simply pales in comparison to Earthshaker's piece de resistance, "I Believe in You." Uneven songwriting is also to blame, and for every winning track they present Y&T always manages to follow it with a total stinker. For example, impressive moments like "Forever" (which expands on the "From the Moon" melody with great results) and "Barroom Boogie" are interspersed with embarrassing drivel like "Hell or High Water" and "My Way or the Highway." In the end, Black Tiger made for a frustrating listening experience, and its commercial failure would strike a blow to Y&T's confidence from which they'd never fully recover...by Ed Rivadavia, All Music

Following the unexpected commercial underachiever that was their fourth album, Black Tiger, San Francisco's Y&T were reeling in confusion. All had seemed rosy back in 1981, when their comeback effort, Earthshaker, had been heralded as an instant classic by media and fans alike; but its successor had lacked both substance and energy by comparison, leaving the group uncertain of what to try next. Making sure to rediscover the edgy guitar tones of old for 1983's Mean Streak was a good start, but inconsistent songwriting continued to plague Y&T, who, as usual, fell way short of replicating the power of their live performances in a studio setting. Mean Streak's title track opened the proceedings in promising enough fashion, its raw energy and aggressive riffing making it one of the band's strongest singles yet. But the very next cut, "Straight Through the Heart," quickly ground everything to a halt with its flattened sonics and lurching rhythm; it took two, very tastefully executed power ballads like "Lonely Side of Town," and "Midnight in Tokyo" to salvage Side One. Side Two got under way with the competent, if rather tame "Breaking Away," only to mar a couple of commendable attempts at re-ignition in "Hang 'Em High," and "Sentimental Fool" (see its classy guitar harmonies) with the terrifying cock rock drivel of "Take You to the Limit" and "Down and Dirty." In the end, Mean Streak was another unbalanced outing that left most hard rock fans nonplussed, and serious Y&T supporters, who knew what the band was capable of, sorely disappointed...by Ed Rivadavia, All Music

Y&T's difficulties in the recording studio continued with their sixth album, 1984's In Rock We Trust. You'd think the San Francisco quartet could have figured this out by now, but despite experimenting with a number of different approaches, recording techniques, and big-name producers, Y&T had yet to successfully capture their scorching live energy on vinyl. With Judas Priest producer Tom (Colonel) Allom on board this time around, they did manage to sound a little looser and more relaxed than on recent efforts, but to be quite honest, In Rock We Trust still paled in comparison to the freewheeling intensity of 1981's landmark Earthshaker album. "Masters and Slaves" and the driving "Break Out Tonight!" are among the highlights contained here, but the patriotic opener, "Rock & Roll's Gonna Save the World," pushes the cheese meter to the max. Making matters worse, on the ensuing tour the band would perform it in the company of their new mascot, the silver android depicted on the album's cover (aka Rock). The textbook power ballad "This Time" isn't half-bad and no doubt served its purpose as perfect "end of the prom" fodder, but consumers remained unimpressed and Y&T's slump continued unabated....by Ed Rivadavia, All Music

After years of beating their collective head against the post of hard rock stardom, Y&T finally succumbed to the commercial conventions of the '80s and bowed to the synthesizer gods with 1985's Down for the Count. Under the guidance of new producer Kevin Beamish (REO Speedwagon, Saxon), Y&T joined the perm-haired masses then issuing like dandruff out of the California dust to redefine the meaning of the word "dumb." Not exactly a smash hit, the record is littered with faceless, going-nowhere-fast rockers like "Anything for Money" and "Looks Like Trouble." Even the relatively amusing "Don't Tell Me What to Wear" sounds completely forced when coming from a bunch of supposedly grown men. Out of this mucky muck, "Hands of Time" stands out as a fine, dramatic power ballad in the Y&T tradition -- anthemic and cheesy in all the right quantities. Following Down for the Count, Y&T's long-running relationship with A&M would finally come to and end, but the band would find small comfort at their new home, Geffen... by Ed Rivadavia, All Music
