Los Angeles, United States (1985 – present)

Mephisto Walz is legendary for its contributions to the deathrock genre, having been an inspiration to a whole host of contemporary gothic artists. Mephisto Walz was formed in Los Angeles, United States by Barry Galvin in 1985 after having departed from deathrock progenitors Christian Death.

Mephisto Walz has an accomplished discography, having released several well respected full-length albums (most notably through Cleopatra Records).

The band’s lineup (as stated on their myspace):
Barry Galvin: Vocals and Text, guitars, bass, drums, synth, assorted anything else’s

Sara Reid: Vocals and Text
Myriam Galvin: Vocals and Text

Past members:
Christianna: Vocals and Text
Johnny Tyndal: Additional Text
Johanne Schuman: bass
Stevyn Grey: drums
William Faith: bass
David Glass: drums
Orlando: live guitar
Tony Havoc: drums

In 2002, The Fossil Dungeon was proud to release the limited edition signature CDR single entitled “Nightingale,” showcasing the band’s latest recording efforts. This new exclusive song (extended version), along with a new track entitled “Witches Gold,” is available for the first time as a limited and luxorious gatefold 7inch EP and limited CD.

The “Nightingale” single exemplified that Mephisto Walz is still a very active band and that they remain one of the most appreciated artists within the gothic rock genre. The album, “Insidious” released in 2004 reinforces its presence as a leading ethereal rock ensemble.

March 2011: New album “IIIrd Incarnation” is out.
