  • Bio

    .. .... ....Mephisto Walz have an accomplished discography behind them, having released many full-length albums over the course of their career. Many of their albums have received high acclaim from the gothic community and stand as early monuments to the movement. Mephisto Walz was formed by Barry Galvin, in 1985, following his departure from the influential gothic group, Christian Death. Barry gathered an impressive line-up for the early Mephisto Walz and later added Christianna on vocals, helping to mold a unique and classic goth sound. Now on the "3rd Incarnation" of Mephisto Walz , Barry added vocals to his repertoire, with Sara Reid collaborating on some tracks. 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 artists. March 2011: release of the new CD "IIIrd Incarnation"

  • SILENT LOVE OF DEATH

    "Donde habite el olvido", dedicated to the poet Luis Cernuda. The new work of Silent Love Of Death unearths the surrealist exquisite corpse to dissect their black depths, on a trip accompanied by melodies with echoes of Apocalypse, spectral dialogues with the darker side of our unconscious and love songs immersed in the depths of madness. Special edition that contains an audio CD and a DVD containing nine videos, one for each poem, work that is doomed to become a cult classic. http://www.gradualhate.info/silentloveofdeath.html
