MEPHISTO (Ita) “Tyrant’s Return” Demo 04. 6 tracks, 18 min. Satanic Supremacy.

First of all do not confuse this Mephisto with the old German one from the ‘80.
This one is more recent and comes from Italy, nevertheless, “Tyrant’s Return” is into fucking old school Thrash/Death Metal from the 80’s too. The demo took the heaviness of Celtic Frost, the satanic image of Venom and the pondering side of early Sodom, and a bit of the punk/fuck off attitude too. All in all, I also think that Mephisto is a bit influenced by the German Poison, or Merciless Death Metal touch too, through some harsh vocals and devilish fast drumming. The songs are fucking great headbanging parts without forgetting that Metal must be nocturnal, fearful and satanic.
The band is actually working on new songs and that should be a fucking great stuff in the 80’s vein !!! Get this shit !.
