Just Missed My Top 200: Vision - Lucifer's Friend

The Countdown to Halloween begins! This week and all through October we are going to be highlighting haunting songs that fit our All Hallow's Eve theme. I'll start things off with this macabre gem, "Lucifer's Friend" by Vision.

Vision was formed in 1981 in Sheffield, England, by vocalist Russell Bonnell and keyboard virtuoso Andrew Beaumont. They signed a development deal later that year with MVM Records, releasing several singles over the next few years.

They never managed to get a full LP together, but their second single, "Lucifer's Friend" was a dance hit all across Europe in early 1983.

Telling the macabre tale of an immortal vampire ruminating on his (after)life, "Lucifer's Friend" is a spooky new wave treat perfect for this time of year.

...and here's a bonus Halloween new wave video, because why not?

Be back next week with another chilling tune that almost made my Top 200.
