Cuban Black Metal band Mephisto, are releasing a new album called Pentafixion, supposedly in March (the date wasn't confirmed yet), through Wormholedeath Records.
Lachryma Christi had the chance to listen to this album today. And man, it is good. Different from the "traditional", but good.
It has 13 tracks, and all of them are extremely powerful.
Pentafixion is a mix of proper heavy and fast Black Metal, with a dragged enraged guttural voice, and then some melodic parts too, which make it different and special.
Along the songs, and together with what is described above already, you can hear very elaborated, emotional and melodic guitar solos, as well as symphonic arrangements, that complement the whole thing. There are also clean voices, but it is rare. It is a good ingredient in the mix.
It is such a very energetic album, combined with the ballad side of the melodic Black Metal style. Some catchy endings, some catchy beginnings, some dramatic keyboards, which bring Cradle of Filth to mind, in a very good sense.
Hopefully, Pentafixion will get the attention it deserves.
Mephisto have been around and bringing us good music since mid 90s. 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.
