𝖉𝖔𝖔𝖒𝖈𝖆𝖙⛧ The more I listen, the better it gets. Mephistofeles are really coming into their own with this new record. One druggy, fuzz-fueled riff after the other. This stuff will put you under the influence. Favorite track: Frustrated.

BO)))NG LUNG Reeks of fentanyl and blasphemy. This will be the soundtrack to many a lost weekend. Includes a fitting tribute to Motörhead, with an audacious drum solo. A filthy record for whores. Hail MEPHISTOFELES or die. Favorite track: Last Will.

𝕷𝖚𝖈𝖊𝖗𝖓𝖊 Mephistofeles is coming at us in full force with the raw, sinister sound we all know and love. Ties your brain into a knot as you keep trying to figure out whats going on, nothing but riffs and head-pounding noise that makes you ask for more. If this band is going anywhere, its Hell, and we’re digging every second of it. Favorite track: Chapel of Sins.

Esplosivoplastico Mephistofeles are back with their fourth album. The sound changed this time, Witchfinder General and King Diamond ejaculating on the Sabbath. Blasphemous from the cover Favorite track: Communion of the Vile.

about

HELTER SKELTER PRODUCTIONS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN RECORDS) is proud to present MEPHISTOFELES's highly anticipated fourth album, Violent Theatre, on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

One of the cultest names in the underground, MEPHISTOFELES hail from Argentina and have prolifically perfected a literally addicting blend of garage rock, stoner doom, and ritual atmosphere that truly puts the SATANIC in Satanic panic! From 2013 onward, this power-trio have been pumping out one sonic drug after another, from singles and demos to EPs and even live albums, all culminating in three full-lengths to date. And just last year, longtime fans HELTER SKELTER PRODUCTIONS made a blood pact with the band to reissue parts of MEPHISTOFELES’ back catalog - among them, the albums I'm Heroin (2017) and Satan Sex Ceremonies (2019) - as well as release their new recordings.

Of those new recordings, the EP Path of Black from early 2021 certainly showed that MEPHISTOFELES hadn't lost any of their drugged-out power in the meantime. Now, the power-trio return with a fucking HARD-rocking new full-length: Violent Theatre. Immediately, this is MEPHISTOFELES at their druggiest best - you can practically hear the sizzle of something brown cooking on its grooves - and thankfully, they've kept their doom locked in the garage. However, whereas so much of the band's not-inconsiderable back catalog is cloaked in darkness, Violent Theatre is not so much sunnier as it is just devilishly fun (just look at that cover!); whether that means "darkness" is left to the bloodshot eyes of the beholder. Still, MEPHISTOFELES continue to maximize the ROCK aspect of their sound over the doom here, with their swagger truly something to behold as those solos just soar downward into the abyss and the rhythm section push and pull right behind. If anything, Violent Theatre is a sterling example of true ensemble playing. MEPHISTOFELES are nothing if not dependable, but just check out the 14-minute epic "Communion of the Vile" for the band really GOING FOR IT.

No other words needed: MEPHISTOFELES are cult for a reason, and Violent Theatre simply proves it further.
