MEPHISTO “Metal of Death” (CD, Bestial Burst Records 2005)

Debut Cd by this Italian metal maniaxx on Bestial Burst… Guitars, bass, and drum duties are split up between 4 of out five band members… so you get to hear their different styles of playing on their songs.. with a playing time of 37 mins and 12 songs … this release is pretty much straight forward and to the point… Songs are midpaced attaxx or faster thrashing attaxx in the ancient vein of Hellhammer, Sodom, Celtic Frost, without being a rip off… In the bands own words Mephisto plays metal of death, play it loud and hard, play for bangers… die for death… Recommended release to those who crave the primitive, ancient sound of the metal bands of the 80s metal scene…
