Cult South American doom trio Mephistofeles reissues first three albums on Heavy Psych Sounds; UK & European tour starts now!
South American occult doom pillars Mephistofeles reissue their first three albums »Whore«, »I’m Heroin« and »Satan Sex Ceremonies« on Heavy Psych Sounds Records today.
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 revered catalog this October 3rd, opening their music to a new generation of fans.
The worldwide deal with HPS Records will pave 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. The doom from the deep south is rising!
Mephistofeles »Whore« / »I’m Heroin« / »Satan Sex Ceremonies« reissues available now via Heavy Psych Sounds
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.
