| the power-trio
return with a fucking HARD-rocking new full-length: Violent Theatre.
Immediately, this is MEPHISTOFELES at their druggiest best - you can
practically hear the sizzle of something brown cooking on its grooves
- and thankfully, they've kept their doom locked in the garage.
However, whereas so much of the band's not-inconsiderable back catalog
is cloaked in darkness, Violent Theatre is not so much sunnier as it
is just devilishly fun (just look at that cover!); whether that means
"darkness" is left to the bloodshot eyes of the beholder. Still,
MEPHISTOFELES continue to maximize the ROCK aspect of their sound over
the doom here, with their swagger truly something to behold as those
solos just soar downward into the abyss and the rhythm section push
and pull right behind. If anything, Violent Theatre is a sterling
example of true ensemble playing. MEPHISTOFELES are nothing if not
dependable, but just check out the 14-minute epic "Communion of the
Vile" for the band really GOING FOR IT. No other words needed:
MEPHISTOFELES are cult for a reason, and Violent Theatre simply proves
it further. Black vinyl version: -housed sturdy 350gsm gatefold vinyl
