Emerging from the fertile underworld of the Argentine Stoner Doom scene, Mephistofeles has forged a reputation as one of the genre’s most visceral and uncompromising acts. Their sound — a sleazy, Psychedelic brew of filthy riffage and hypnotic distortion — has cultivated a dedicated worldwide cult following, drawn to their raw and unapologetic sonic rituals.
Their ascent was meteoric. Their 2016 debut, “Whore,” quickly became an underground staple. They solidified their status with 2017’s “I’m Heroin,” an album so potent it earned the ultimate seal of approval: Electric Wizard’s Jus Oborn named it a favorite, praising its “great filthy guitar sound and creepy lyrics” and calling it “dirty and sleazy heavy psychedelic doom.”
Demonstrating relentless drive, Mephistofeles continued their ascent with the self-produced “Satan Sex Ceremonies” (2019) and the gritty “Violent Theatre” (2022). Now, energized by a powerful new line-up featuring drummer Luca Frizza, the band is ready for a new era.
This new chapter is marked by signing with powerhouse label Heavy Psych Sounds for a long-awaited reissue of Mephistofeles’ entire revered catalog, opening their music to a new generation of fans. The deal also paves the way for new music and extensive touring across Europe and the UK, building on their formidable live presence that has seen them share stages with greats like Acid King and Lucifer across South America. Get ready: the Doom from the deep south is rising.

Repress of Mephistofeles‘ sophomore album in brand new coloured vinyls.
“I’m Heroin” in its original incarnation of (((I’m Heroin))), it conveys the sense of delirium and madness written large across the grooves of this nearly 47-minute work.
Indeed, Mephistofeles’ second long-player goes all in on getting gone — hypnotic yet loose, jammy yet locked-in, devilishly drugged-out and above all FUN in its freedom. Minutes turn into hours, hours turn into days, days turn into weeks, ad infinitum…being stuck inside I’m Heroin is like being stuck inside a jellied coma you never wanna come out of!

04. Overdose
05. Syringe
06. Curse Of The Knife
07. Chains Of Agony
Repress of Mephistofeles‘ third album in brand new coloured vinyls.
This album is a slowly bubbling cauldron of eerie atmospheres and drugged-out sonics; amidst the ever-present haze of hashish and sulfur, it’s by far one of the band’s most authentically DOOM recordings. And at 47 minutes, the simmering slime Mephistofeles here dole out so effortlessly sounds more like 47 hours, so ensnared by addiction you’ll be.
Lineup:
Gabriel Ravera / Guitar and Vocals
Ismael Dimenza / Bass
Luca Frizza / Drums
Argentinian Occult wizards Mephistofeles will smash Europe and UK for the very first time.
Mephistofeles comments: “It has come to our attention that old rumours about extreme political stances are once again being attributed to the band. At the time, we didn’t care about those absurd accusations, so we didn’t even engage with them.
Now we think it is time to settle this once and for all, so on behalf of everyone involved with Mephistofeles, we want to say that we are against any form of fascism or political extremism whatsoever.
Mephistofeles is not a political expression in itself, nor are we trying to push any sort of agenda through our music. We believe in peace among all people, no matter what, and we despise those who are willing to harm others under any circumstances.
And if by any chance someone is following the band under the impression that we stand for those shameful and vile ideas, we encourage them to stop listening to us.”
