If Thine Enemy Hunger is the third full-length studio album by American metal band Jucifer. The album's title is a reference to a phrase used in Romans 12:20.[7]

Background

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."[7]

Coincinding 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.[8]

All songs are sung in English, with the exception of "Luchamos", which is in Spanish.
