Mefisto

Swedish Black/Death Metal Band

Mefisto is a name that could refer to multiple artists or bands across different genres and time periods. However, one notable Mefisto is a Swedish black/thrash metal band that was formed in the early 1980s. They were part of the first wave of Swedish extreme metal bands, alongside groups like Bathory and Merciless. Mefisto disbanded in the late 1980s but reformed in the 2010s to release new material. Their influence was particularly felt in the development of the Swedish black and death metal scenes, even though they did not achieve widespread commercial success during their initial active years. If this is the Mefisto in question, they are known for their raw and aggressive musical style that contributed to the shaping of extreme metal music in Sweden.
