Gluecifer come roaring back with Same Drug New High, a snarling new album that lands more than twenty years after their last studio record and hits exactly where longtime fans want it to land. Recorded, produced, and mixed in Oslo by the same crew that first brought Norway its loudest cult export, the album finds Biff Malibu and Captain Poon leading the charge alongside Raldo Useless, Danny Young, and Peter Larsson, sounding sharper, tougher, and hungrier than at any other point in their history.

The fire is immediate. Same Drug New High opens with “The Idiot,” a relentless shot across the bow that reminds listeners how blunt and fearless this band have always been. “Armadas” follows with blazing guitars and a clenched jaw, while “I’m Ready” stands as a clear message that Gluecifer’s return is not a nostalgia play. They are not here to relive memories. They are here to deliver the loud, unfiltered rock that has endeared them to fans since the group reunited in 2018.

In September, the band started teasing the record with cuts that show exactly where their heads are at. “Pharmacity” punches with a toxic groove that hints at the Cult colliding with the Rolling Stones, and “1996” pulls listeners right back to the chaos of their earliest days. The goal was simple. Give the people songs that kick hard and leave everything else behind. Stadium pomp and big ballads have no place in this lineup. Gluecifer still believe in tough sounds, fast riffs, and rock that feels handmade instead of polished to death.

That attitude has carried them from their 1994 origins through hundreds of shows, five albums, and a breakup that only made their legend louder. Fans never stopped talking about them, and the frenzy around their 2018 comeback proved that absence did nothing to dull the appetite. From Hellfest in France to Tons of Rock at home in Norway, the crowds made one thing clear. They wanted new songs and they wanted them now.
