Argentinian Cult Doom Trio MEPHISTOFELES to release "Live in Europe" double live album on August 7th via Heavy Psych Sounds Records!


Argentina’s cult doom trio announce the release of their first-ever double live album "Live in Europe" — twenty tracks of pure occult madness to be unleashed this August 7th on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

Recorded during the band’s European tour in 2025, the Live in Europe double album captures twenty tracks of crushing, ritualistic heaviness performed in Barcelona (Spain) and Arnhem (Netherlands). With a sound drenched in sleaze and psychedelia, the Argentinian trio's notoriety was cemented when Electric Wizard’s Jus Oborn championed their album I’m Heroin as a personal favorite. In the summer of 2025, Mephistofeles signed to European label Heavy Psych Sounds Records for the long-awaited reissue of their entire catalog, opening their music to a new generation of fans. The doom from the deep south is rising. The band just announced the special reissue of their fourth full-length Violent Theatre on new LP and CD editions this August 7th, with pre-orders available at this location.

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.
