  Gluecifer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gluecifer was a hard rock band based in Oslo, Norway.
Formed in 1994, they produced several underground releases during their first years of existence and soon claimed, with typical arrogance, to be "kings of rock".
In 1997, the album "Ridin' the Tiger" (released by legendary record label White Jazz) provided an artistic and commercial breakthrough and placed Gluecifer among Hellacopters from Sweden at the forefront of the Scandinavian hard rock wave of the late 90s.

 Daily Vault - July 4, 2001
You know… if one were to explore Norwegian culture solely through the lyrics of Gluecifer's music, it would be damn near impossible to think that male adolescence in that country consisted of anything other than a quest to become the toughest kid on the block.
To put this review in context, Gluecifer is one of the current crop of 1970's style, macho, beer drinking, womanizing, guitar soloing, revivalist bands out of Europe, specifically Scandinavia, that have been said to have the potential to be the next rage of the hard rock music industry.
Gluecifer's niche in this fraternity is probably in their ability to rock the hardest while confusing the listener with their off center lyrics.

I really want to have a lyrics sheet for this band, as I can hear most of the words sung but absolutely have no fucking clue what the songs are about.
Gluecifer very successfully mixes 70’s arena rock with punk to make a truly memorable and kick ass album that I’m sure will be stuck in my CD player for a long time.
From what I can hear, the lyrics need to be tinkered with a little, but it is really easy to ignore the lyrics and completely zone out on the amazing guitars laid down by the two amazing guitarist.

Despite the immediate association with fellow Scandinavians the Hellacopters, Gluecifer is a hard rock force in its own right.
The thing is, though Gluecifer rock with abandoned recklessness and really does espouse New York fuckin' City's swagger, you can tell this is a Norwegian by-product.
Gluecifer is a purely Scandinavian/sunless winter deliverer of sound which, I think, makes the whole Automatic Thrill process that much more unique.

 Splendid E-zine reviews: Gluecifer
After flirting with the young 'n' stupid American crowd by dumping out domestic releases through the likes of Man's Ruin and Devil Doll, Gluecifer is gonna give you kids another chance at witnessin' stardom in the making courtesy of Sub Pop, who've gathered a few tracks from the band's European LPs.
For those of you new to the Gluecifer camp, the twin guitar attack of Messrs.

Half of the CD's ten songs are by Gluecifer, while the other half are by the less angry Hellacopters.
When you hear Gluecifer and the Hellacopters, you're transported back to a time when you could turn on an album rock station and expect to hear ZZ Top, Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes, Deep Purple, Status Quo, Bob Seger, and Humble Pie (among others) in the course of a half-hour.
The biggest difference between the two is the fact that Gluecifer has more of a consistently angry edge.

 Gluecifer: Get the Horn - PopMatters Music Review
Despite their less-than-spectacular moniker, the band is emblazoned with all of the greasy trademarks of That Great Sound: costumes, lyrics about leather, cities, and being badass, catchy choruses, and just a tinkling of piano.
In fact, this six-song sampler proves to be just the appetizer Sub Pop (reinventing itself as the new home of Rawk, signing such acts as the Hellacopters, Nebula, and...) needed to release to whet anxious listeners' ears.
Although they have been releasing records since 1995, my introduction to the band came with seeing them open for bastions of rock, Nashville Pussy, and although Gluecifer's stage presence was challenged by the lesbianic activities of the Pussy's performance, the men from Oslo firmly held their ground and provided me with an exciting set.

 Daily Vault - March 21, 2003
That was the first time I had heard that the hard-rock heroes from Norway, Gluecifer, were releasing their fifth studio album, Basement Apes, on Sony Records in Scandinavia (SPV/Steamhammer rest of Europe) with a far greater pocketbook than the band's independent labels of the past.
Any true Gluecifer fan would have done a similar double-take as piano's and organ's mix with the trademark Gluecifer rock sounds like the proverbial oil-and-water concoction.
For the uninitiated listener, Gluecifer have always sat on the "rock throne" on past releases; this proclamation was cleverly documented in a song of the same name on their second album, Ridin' The Tiger.

 Review - Gluecifer: Tender Is The Savage   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Oslo, Norway's Gluecifer are apparently spearheading the growing "Scandinavian Rock Explosion," with more bands coming from the region and pumping out richer, rougher, jams with a higher intensity level, and a higher octane rock and roll sound, than ever before.
Gluecifer aren't trying to come across as a cover band, or tribute group, with rhinestones, or flares.
If you enjoy hard rock, but are tired of all of the excess, and really don't care what the bassist thinks about the ozone layer, then this is definitely for you.

Even the cover art, depicting a guitar player donning his instrument in an obnoxiously phallic fashion with a fire blazing in the background, is laughably misguided.
The boys in Gluecifer get two points for musical competency (in that they can play their instruments), but put up a quadruple-bogey on the jackass hole.
To boil things down, Gluecifer's music is interesting, not as music, but as an argument for retooling U.S. foreign policy in favor of preemptive air strikes against bad Norwegian bands.

But over the years, their roster has gradually disbanded or signed away, and the quality level has dropped off into unchartable regions of uninspired riffage.
If anything can be said for Gluecifer, it's that their American punk schtick is thoroughly convincing.
