Mefisto started back in 1984 under the name Torment. Along with Obscurity, the two were the first Swedish extreme bands to follow mighty Bathory. Both bands were of superior quality, however after just two demos, both folded as they were simply too early with their extreme music at the time and getting no support. Mefisto have since gained a cult status, heavily influencing the upcoming Extreme music underground, especially the local Stockholm Death Metal scene. Featuring mega-talented guitarist Omar Ahmed, who delivered tight riffs and great solos, played out in a classic yet extreme manner, that to this day sounds fresh and relevant. Roberto Granath delivered violent drumming like only a few have before, and the singer Sandro Cajander did much deeper and harsher vocals than Bathory or Venom at that time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Missing in Action \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Frost of Inferno \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Betrayed Truth \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Act Dead \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Hunting High, Die \u003cbr\u003e1.6 The Puzzle \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Os Liberty \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Underground Circus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudio Sample:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n                                           \u003ci\u003eAll soundclips are provided by Tidal and are for illustrative purposes only.
