The biography of the four members of German rock group Lucifer's Friend is the vital part of the German rock music family tree. Peter Hesslein had started in 1963 as a guitar player for the GIANTS. Peter Hecht and Dieter Horns were also members of the German Bonds since 1965; in 1968 Hesslein joined them.

Late 1970 most of what was left of the BONDS, including drummer Joachim Rietenbach, started planning the recording of a new album. They searched for the proper vocalist, and finally found John Lawton, former member of the British band called Stonewall and who later joined URIAH HEEP.

"The album, "Lucifer's Friend", recorded by this super-energetic German rock-quintet, had more than a passing resemblance with Led Zeppelin (as stated by the Chicago Express at the time); it was released in January 1971. After rave reviews for this debut, the five members of Luciferґs Friend decided to try their hand at live performances..
