Lucifixion
started out in the latter half of 1989 by Jeremiah Riley and Shane Seegert. The
lineup made a few changes until a solid three piece was formed with Jeremiah on
drums, Skot Wehman on bass, and Brian Bascom on guitar. Lucifixion ventured
into Strawberry Fields recording studio in Swanton, Ohio in 1993. Demon
Sacrifice was the resulting demo from these recording sessions. Jeremiah
sat in on vocals since there was no permanent growler for the position.
Lucifixion shopped the demo around and quickly discovered vocalist T.J. Huling.
The band returned to the studio in 1994 to re-record the Demon
Sacrifice demo and re-branded it Born Into Death, the
first official release from Lucifixion.
After a
few lineup changes the role of vocals reverted back to Jeremiah and longtime
fan Andy Hamlet joined the band as the first lead guitarist. Lucifixion went
back into the studio to record the first full release Indulge
in the Macabre in 1996. The album featured 4 reworked songs from Born Into
Death and 6 new tracks including the fan favorite Self Inflicted
Autopsy. Lucifixion enjoyed several years of local shows and even had
the honor of opening up for such national acts as Cannibal Corpse, Gutted, and
Exodus.
After
yet another round of lineup changes, Lucifixion went into the studio in 2003 to
record several demo recordings that have yet to be released. Recently one of
these recordings, Split Second, has seen the light of day via digital
streaming services. The band experimented with female vocals to fill a growing
number of acoustic sections. Maria Seeburger held the vocalist role for several
years as Jeremiah continued to support the band with brutal vocals to counter
the softer female voice. In 2005 Lucifixion released their third recording, an
EP entitled As Evil As Me. The
line up during this recording worked for many years together and consisted of
Jeremiah Riley, Andy Hamlet, Larry Ray, Maria Seeburger, and Austin Waidelich. As Evil
As Me was meant to be a rebirth for Lucifixion. Unfortunately, the
group disbanded in 2008 on good terms.
At the
end of the ride the band recorded a final 8 tracks for a yet to be released
final full-length album. Several of the recordings have been put on YouTube,
but no official release was ever finalized. These 8 songs, along with a few
other unreleased tracks throughout the years, are still in the works for an
official release date.
