Lucifer's Aid aka. Carl Nilsson is one of the most hardworking artists in the industrial / EBM scene. But what many people dont know (and never suspect…) is that one of his favorite artists is Bruce Springsteen. On this special limited edition Lucifer's Aid take on three tracks from the classic album "Nebraska" and turn them into something own. “Nebraska may seem to be the overall opposite of my music. But there is a darkness and monotonous sound in both Lucifer's Aid and Bruce Springsteen's songs. And especially on his album Nebraska. The sound and the expression on that album have always fascinated me. Nebraska was released in 1982 and it was recorded at a four channel porta studio. The strength of the album is precisely the three chords and the lyrics that sit deep with the listener. There are songs about hopelessness, loneliness, longing and sometimes a bit of hope. I have always had a great admiration for Bruce Springsteen's music and have long thought about making interpretations of his music. The album Nebraska is very close to me. It was not the first record I heard from Springsteen but it was the one that touched me the most. And it has followed me since my early teens.
With this EP I wanted to put my personal touch on Bruce Springsteen's songs. But at the same time not lose the nerve that are in the original songs.”
Lucifer's Aid has released five albums. The latest album Destruction (2023) was a major success with press and fans alike. They played at festivals such as Wave Gothik Treffen, Amphi Festival, Bodyfest, Progress Productions Festival, Hard Out West and NCN Festival…
