Belo Horizonte, Brazil based stoner/doom metal band Pesta has released new music video for the song »Mirror Maze« featuring Scott “Wino” Weinrich (The Obsessed).

»Mirror Maze« is taken from Pesta’s latest album, »The Craft Of Pain«, out on October 16th, 2025 via Gate Of Doom Records / Glory Or Death Records.

»Mirror Maze« translates the lyrics’ existential conflict into imagery: filmed inside of an old apartment living room, this choice creates an intimate, gloomy atmosphere – like a hall of mirrors in the character’s mind – where identity and reflection merge in an agonizing clash between sobriety and reverie.

The track features Scott “Wino” Weinrich, from The Obsessed, who is one of the most influential musicians and chief architects that built the foundation of the stoner doom genre, through his pioneering work in the 1970s and 80s, bridging the gap between heavy metal and stoner rock trademark sound. He now connects directly with the Brazilian and Latin American scene through this guest appearance – which follows Pesta opening for The Obsessed in Brazil – marking a milestone and celebration for the band.

»The Craft Of Pain« was originally released on vinyl by Glory Or Death Records (USA) and on CD by Gate Of Doom Records (Brazil).

Born in the mountainous city of Belo Horizonte in 2014, Pesta is an entity that carries the chill of death and the suffocating heat of the furnace. Inspired by blood-soaked figures and moments in history, »The Craft Of Pain« is more than an album: it’s a sonic grimoire about the evil that never left… only changed its face. When the needle drops, it won’t just be music filling the room; it will be the weight of pure darkness.
