MEPHISTO “too loud for the Hell” Rehearsal tape

Prima tape per la band napoletana autrice già di parecchio materiale interessante ma mi pareva utile anche conoscere le origini di questa ottima band che affonda le proprie radici nel sound degli anni ottanta!!! Infatti mi hanno ricordato molto gli Hellhammer, qualche influenza Venom e dei Possessed ed anche qualcosa dei Bathory; un sound veramente criptico ed oscuro, completamente old style e senza nessuna concessione ad un sound più moderno. Nonostante ci troviamo di fronte ad una tape Rehearsal, il sound non è poi così male ,anzi, un sound così casereccio dona un qualcosa in più alla band. Bella tape, da ascoltare a tutto volume nel proprio stereo, per assaporare quel vecchio sound, così metal e così spesso dimenticato. Totalmente distruttivi e marcescenti nonostante la band sia nata in tempi recenti (circa nel 2003 ha saputo), quindi viste le prospettive, possono farsi largo immediatamente nell’underground: lo split con i grandi Front Beast è una bella soddisfazione a mio avviso! La band è ormai matura e non hanno poi variato molto il loro sound da questi esordi!! Cosa lodevole forse un miglioramento nella registrazione, ma nulla di più. Una band ottima che ha comunque ben miscelato le sue influenze. Una nuova band di bon livello alla scena italica che a volte dà segni di risveglio!

MEPHISTO – to loud for the Hell – Rehearsal tape

My first sodomizing with this italian horde. A retro thrash/black metal they offer us. Still in the old vein and inspired by Celtic Frost, Bathory, Destruction, Sodom etc. Well, you have been warned if you are against in a retro bands. Regarding the music, there are both mid and fast tempo which is too much thrash, too less black. A good composition and also a good riffs you can except, especially “Zombie Terror” – wicked and insane. Eight tunes of thrashing insanity seems to not boring. Some tracks are also included on the debut album “Metal of Death” released through Bestial Burst. Play loud for the Hell!

MEPHISTO – too loud for the Hell – Rehearsal tape

I guess when mentioning the band name MEPH(F?)ISTO many readers will think of the Swedish cult act that used to spread some awesome material back in the glorious 80s. Yeah, this group nowadays can be considered as hugely original, unique combo that unfortunately never got too much recognition (besides of some old die-hards)… Nevertheless, the MEPHISTO here hail from Italy and what they present us on these eight tunes of utter hell, is pure and simple Death/Thrash Metal, heavily inspired by HELLHAMMER, old BATHORY and very early CELTIC FROST. Additionally I`d even mention cult acts like i.e. BULLDOZER or ONSLAUGHT as influences (at least concerning the instrumental section, the voice is very much a bastard between HELLHAMMER`s Satanic Slaughter and Quorthon. Despite the fact that we got to deal with a pure rehearsal room recording, it`s sure to say that the sound is definitely fine, sounding very underground and honest. The cassette was originally given away for free, I received it through tape-trading, so I guess it shouldn`t be difficult to get if you`re in the “right” circles, hehe…
