From Ethereal’s origins in the 1990s to their present-day revival with new voices and fresh releases, this intimate conversation dives deep into one of Colombia’s most enduring and shape-shifting metal bands.
They open up about their beginnings, lineup changes, sharing the stage with Megadeth and Therion, the impact of haters, and how music has become their form of catharsis and resistance.

A couple of days ago (sorry for the delay, it was a hectic weekend) we had an exclusive session with Hector from Luciferian, one of Colombia’s most formidable black metal forces since 1996. They’re about to unleash a new limited‑edition vinyl and exclusive reveal on the new album coming soon (just announced here at Metal Detector), symbolizing a ritualistic connection between band and listener. In this conversation, we are going to dive deep into their musical legacy, their approach to their fans , their upcoming concerts and how they manage the studio‑to‑stage translation, plus what’s next for Luciferian.

Let’s get into it.
