I'm Heroin in its original incarnation of ( ( ( I ' M H E R O I N ) ) ), it conveys the sense of delirium and madness written large across the grooves of this nearly 47-minute work.
Indeed, MEPHISTOFELES’ second long-player goes all in on getting gone – hypnotic yet loose, jammy yet locked-in, devilishly drugged-out and above all FUN in its freedom. Minutes turn into hours, hours turn into days, days turn into weeks, ad infinitum…being stuck inside I’m Heroin is like being stuck inside a jellied coma you never wanna come out of!
Mephistofeles is one of the biggest acts of the doom stoner scene from Argentina which has developed its own cult following all around the world.
In 2016 they released their debut album “Whore”, which got very popular in a short period of time. The following year they released their second album “I’m Heroin”, which Jus Oborn from Electric Wizard picked as one of his favourites albums of 2017.
“Dirty and sleazy heavy psychedelic doom. Great filthy guitar sound and creepy lyrics, this has been on repeat a lot. From Argentina, which seems to have a great scene of raw rock n roll music right now” Excerpt from Jus Oborn’s interview with BROOKLYN VEGAN.
In 2019 their 3rd studio album “Satan Sex Ceremonies” was released. It was the first record produced entirely by the band itself. Then on late 2022 “Violent Theatre” came out, being the last album recorded by the band’s original drummer.
