If Thine Enemy Hunger is the third full-length studio album by American metal band Jucifer. Recorded in 2004 live to Otari 2",[1] it would be released in 2006 in what would be the band's debut release for Relapse. The album's title is referential to the Biblical verse of Romans 12:20, of which the King James Version reads, "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head."
If Thine Enemy Hunger would be released on CD and LP, the latter with custom packaging and limited to 1000 copies (600 Red, 300 Yellow, 100 Clear). Coinciding with the album's release, Jucifer released music videos for "Pontius of Palia" and "Hennin Hardine". The band also promoted this album by going on a 21-date United States concert tour between August and October 2007.[2]
Reception for If Thine Enemy Hunger would be mostly positive, from the likes of Lambgoat (9/10),[3] The AV Club (B-),[4] MetalRage (8/10),[5] Exclaim!,[6] Pitchfork (6.6/10)[7] and PopMatters (6/10).[8]
