Mephisto Walz – Early Recordings 1985-1988 – Compact Disc
Mephisto Walz is a post-punk and gothic rock band that originated in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s. The band was formed by Barry Galvin, who was previously a member of the influential deathrock band Christian Death. Mephisto Walz became known for their atmospheric and dark sound that incorporates elements of post-punk, gothic rock, and ethereal music. Barry gathered an impressive line-up and later added Christiana on vocals, helping to mold a unique and classic goth sound.
Over the years, Mephisto Walz has gone through various lineup changes, with Barry Galvin being a consistent presence. The band has released several albums, and their music often explores themes of mysticism, mythology, and the darker aspects of human experience.
The band’s brooding atmospheres, melodic hooks, ethereal voices, washy guitars, and distinct production distinguished Mephisto Walz as a prominent and evolving act within the genre. Today, the amalgamation of these elements are what have established Mephisto Walz as a legendary band for their contributions to the death rock genre and as an inspiration for many other contemporary gothic rock artists.
Some of Mephisto Walz’s notable albums include “Crocosmia” and “Thalia,” among others. They have been associated with the gothic subculture and have maintained a presence in the alternative music scene.
