Mephiskapheles in MEXICO!!! Oct. 19-20 at the Nonstop Ska Fest!!! Our first time in Mexico-we know we have so many fans there. 143. 31. Thanks for a great night, Denver! It was an awesome start to the tour with ifesto and ykatfanclub. See you again tomorrow! .

There have been some dramatic changes in the underworld since the release of Mephiskapheles' debut album, God Bless Satan, three years ago. Most notable was the departure of Mikal Reich, with Wayne Dunton arriving in his stead. Reich was an excellent reggae drummer; Dunton, however, is far flashier, and judging by his solos began life in the rock/punk world.

Mephiskapheles Format: Vinyl. What was their follow up Maximum Perversion going to be like? Simply put, this album was light years ahead of it's time. The band's extravagant rhythms heralded a new shift into experimental territories. From the funky breaks and avant-garde solos of Break Your Ankle Punk to the occasional forays into metal and hardcore territory and even more genre fusions, the band was taking chances left and right expending more energy on unusual arrangements and broadening its ska sound.

Maximum Perversion, 2012. Maximum Perversion, 2012. Attack of the Geniuses, 02:03. Break Your Ankle Punk, 02:39. Satan On the Beach, 03:47.

This album is heavy on the keyboards but not as dark as it's predecessor. This album sure as hell doesn't lack anything else more than the darkness you'd expect from them, but instead adds more spunk and experimentality to the sound, which maybe just wasn't the thing the Mephiskapheles should have done. Don't get me wrong kiddies! I love this album. and it sure is a relief to know that it is a shitload better than their next release.
