I, Lucifer is the second studio release from Destroy the Runner. It is the first Destroy the Runner album released with vocalist Chad Ackerman, replacing Kyle Setter; and Tanner Sparks, replacing Jeremiah Crespo on bass. This record takes on a far more progressive sound from their previous effort.^[1] I, Lucifer was released on 15 April 2008. The day of the release they also played a short set for free at Lou's Records in Encinitas, California.

The album was recorded with Brian McTernan (Circa Survive, Strike Anywhere) at Salad Days Studio. I, Lucifer shows the band drifting away from their metalcore sound established in their debut, Saints, as it features less screaming and more singing. A description of the album and e-cards produced by their record label, Solid State Records, can be found on their MySpace page.
