This Athens, Georgia duo - Ed Livengood (drums) and Amber Valentine (guitar,
vocals) - live up to the name of both band and album, juicing thick, savage
metal riffs and the beefiest of drum parts, fusing the two tenets of metal with
Valentine's vocals, which are a little echo-y, watery at times and can even
be, unlike most of the music itself, soft and sweet. It goes deeper than that,
though: the underlying rhythms, though masked by a metal facade, have a fair
degree of funk in the trunk as well, even finding their way into ballad territory
here and there. And while tunes like "Torch" and "Queen B"
are unrelenting in their edgy attack, other songs - "Little Fever"
and "Fight Song," to name just a couple - really do earn the band
the "Black Sabbath-meets-Portishead" tag they've been saddled with.

Jucifer
Bio[+]In 1994, Jucifer was conceived from Athens, Georgia’s innovative music scene. This duo (consisting of guitarist / vocalist Amber Valentine and drummer Ed Livengood) creates atmospheric music that caresses with one hand and strangles with the other. Mixing high energy and ear-splitting volume with sultry vocals and melodic passages, the group has been described as a cross between Portishead and Black Sabbath. Their debut self-produced album, Calling All Cars On The Vegas Strip, was originally released in ’98, but once Capricorn Records got a hold of it, the album was re-mastered and released again in early 2000.
