Description
MEFISTO started back in 1984 under the name Torment. Along with Obscurity the two were the first Swedish extreme bands to follow mighty BATHORY. Both bands were of superior quality however after just 2 demos both folded as they were simply too early with their extreme music at the time and getting no support. MEFISTO since gained a cult status heavily influencing the upcoming extreme music underground especially the local Stockholm Death Metal scene. Featuring mega-talented guitarist Omar Ahmed who delivered tight riffs and great solos played out in a classic yet extreme manner that to this day sounds fresh and relevant. Roberto Granath delivered violent drumming like only a few have before. After the departure of bassist / singer Sandro guitarist Omar took over the vocals aswell. 30 years after the demos there is finally the MEFISTO debut album 2. 0. 1. 6. Recorded in Stockholm mastered by Dan Swano (Opeth Katatonia Bloodbath). Coverart by Roberto Toderico (Tigers of Pan Tang Soulburn Sinister).
