Gluecifer is a Norwegian hard rock band based in Oslo. Formed in 1994, the band gained fame as a part of the Scandinavian hard rock wave in the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside Turbonegro and The Hellacopters.[1] Gluecifer released five studio albums before disbanding in 2005 and later reuniting in 2017.[1]
In 1997, the album Ridin' the Tiger (released on record label White Jazz) provided an artistic and commercial breakthrough and placed Gluecifer along Hellacopters from Sweden at the forefront of the Scandinavian hard rock wave of the late 1990s. Basement Apes, their fourth album, saw them signing with Sony Music, and Automatic Thrill became their biggest-selling record to date.
In July 2005, the band announced their break-up.[2]
Gluecifer counted as one of the most successful rock bands of Norway.
To the Norwegian Film Izzat Gluecifer contributed the Song Desolate City. The song was released on the compilation Kings of Rock – B-Sites and Rarities in 2008.
In 2006, Captain Poon started his new band Bloodlights.
In the film The Social Network the song Black Book Lodge can be heard as a part of the soundtrack.
On 9 October 2015, all regular studio albums by Gluecifer were re-released on Captain Poon's own label Konkurs Productions as LPs.[3]
