Jucifer, Ironhorse, and Night Of Joy at Marquis Theater
A mighty-riffing, screaming lady, a guy who can match her on drums, and a wall of amps are about all a metal band needs to keep skulls bouncing, but Athens, Ga., duo Jucifer adds to these an ability to pivot from one brutal style to another. Amber Valentine and Edgar Livengood’s concept album about the horrors of war, this year’s Throned In Blood, might be a little more grimy than 2008’s L’Autrichienne (a concept album about the French Revolution), yet most every track still makes for a startlingly well-realized shift from the last: “Return Of The Native” slices open the ribcage of lo-fi black metal, only to give way to the feedback-fallout of “Hiroshima,” and so on.
