MEFISTO (SWE)

When when you formed & how?
-We started in 84 because that's when Omar joined us in the band. Before we were called Torment but just before Omar joined we changed our name to Mefisto.

You've made a new demo, describe it?
-Our second demo was recorded in Nov 86 so it's not exactly new. We recorded it in Heavy Load's studio with 24 channels. It took 27 hours.

What are your 5 best bands?
-It's Bathory, Slayer, Celtic. Then I listen to a lot of other music like Bach and I also listen to reggae I listen to pretty much everything.

Do you believe in Satan do you have Satan's Bible & why?
-We are not Satanists I am interested in the occult Satan's Bible is a very good book it is 90% correct of what is written in it. I have a great interest in everything occult. The others are not as interested.

What do you think about politics?
-Don't talk to me about politics. I don't care.

What do you think about Bathory, is he as wild as he looks?
-Quorton is quite wild, yes I can probably say that he is as wild as he looks, although it depends on what you mean. He is not a fucking nerdy Black-Metal guy, but he has distance from what he does and he is damn cool.
