Mephistofeles

Mephistofeles is a stoner/doom metal band hailing from Rosario, Argentina, known for their fuzzy, riff-heavy sound soaked in retro vibes and occult themes. Formed in 2013, the trio cranks out music that feels like a time capsule from the ’70s, blending Sabbath-inspired grooves with a raw, lo-fi production style. Their discography—including releases like *Satan Sex Ceremonies*, *Whore*, and *I’m Heroin*—is a love letter to vintage horror aesthetics, psychedelic sludge, and unapologetically loud distortion. They’ve carved a niche in the underground scene with their DIY ethos and a penchant for cryptic, tongue-in-cheek Satanic imagery.

Live, Mephistofeles delivers a loud, hazy experience that matches their recordings, leaning into chaotic energy and throwback vibes. Albums like *Barely Alive!* and *Violent Theatre* showcase their knack for pairing catchy, repetitive riffs with dark, absurdist lyrics, often blurring the line between parody and devotion to doom’s murkiest traditions. While they keep their personal lives low-key, their music speaks loudly for fans of bands like Electric Wizard or Uncle Acid, cementing their status as cult favorites in the genre.
