MEPHISTO: CARIBBEAN REBELLION
Origin: Cuba
Genre: Black Metal
Last release: “Pentafixion” (2021)
Publisher: WormHoleDeath Records
In their best career moment, the Cuban Mephisto transform the Caribbean into a black sanctuary of symphonic black metal. Find out more about the project immediately below.
"We worked hard to make the name of the band known around the world once and for all."
Objectives: “ Pentafixion ”is the result of three years of work in which we have undergone training changes in the middle of the recording process, and this has resulted in new arrangements and a new sound. It is the compilation of songs that we only had on models, so the result is very varied. Our goal with this album was to sign a contract with a publisher that would put us on the world map. We worked hard to make the band's name known around the world once and for all - and here we are, ready to blow it all up.
Concept: There is no main concept, but several. The disc contains two trilogies and themes with literary references and anti-religious messages. We are open to a world of pagan, hidden, philosophical, folk and literary influences with a line of thought focused on the importance of the individual himself and not of an oppressive and indoctrinating divinity that has so damaged humanity. In relation to music, we want to make it clear that it is possible to offer musical wealth with the mixture of symphonic music and the blackest trends in metal.
Evolution and references: From simple to complex. We always had in mind to make a black and symphonic metal, but the conditions for that did not exist when the band started, so we have incorporated more musical work and instruments according to the possibilities - and the musicians we needed for that have appeared. Now, the band is in a better moment and with the most perfect alignment that it has had in more than 30 years of existence. Our musical references are Septicflesh, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Wagner and Cradle of Filth.

What Others Are Saying About Pentafixion
“To put it simply, MEPHISTO is made up of five musicians who know what they are talking about by offering music of great mastery which is the fusion of the groups mentioned at the beginning of the chronicle. I advise you to first discover the title "The Undivine Blessing" which sums up and demonstrates the great quality of the album. All fans of this musical style, who respect themselves, must have it! ODYMETAL FANZINE - Marie-Christine JOSA
In my opinion Mephisto are a very great sounding gothic and symphonic Black Metal Band. If you are a fan of this musical genre, you should definitely check this album out! RECOMMENDED 8/10 Darkdoomgrinddeath-Alternative Magazine - Occult Black Metal
Blending classic nineties-style black metal with a multitude of genres, MEPHISTO's music is nothing short of monumental The brutality and impeccable musicianship move alongside symphonic overtures. The operatic performances are nothing short of jaw dropping.
MEPHISTO does a magnificent job of putting a unique sound together with razor-sharp precision. Metal Temple Magazine - Daphne Minks Daly
This album has great production values and the songs don’t get boring, these guys display a great scope of range within the songs and keep it flowing well. I would definitely recommend this album to fans of bands like Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. Metal Roos Webzine - Chris Szafranski
Lachryma Christi had the chance to listen to this album today. And man, it is good. Hopefully, Pentafixion will get the attention it deserves. So if you are into this kind of more melodic Black Metal, and if you haven't heard them, please do. You won't be disappointed! Lachryma Christi Webzine
From Cuba - that's right! - Mephisto take the black, cold and ceremonial metal from Scandinavia to the Caribbean. At a time when metal subgenres are no longer dictated by geographic rules, this band proves that the lesson can be studied and performed anywhere in the world. Based on black metal, but with a few hints of death metal (especially in the sharp riffs and ghastly voices), the eucharistic organs and mind-boggling guitar solos reign in shredding mode. It is also worth looking at the visual concept of “Pentafixion”, which focuses on the incomprehension shaped by older generations (perhaps even a mirror of Cuban society) in relation to news and other ways of life. - Metal Hammer Magazine Portugal
