Mephisto were a Power/Speed Metal unit coming up in the wake of the other Power/Speed bands at that time from Germany Like Helloween, Blind Guardian and Scanner, all taking the happy choruses and guitar leads of Accept and fusing them with more epic vocal styles and atmospheres. Mephisto carry on in the vein although with a definitely more raw and muggier NWOBHM style production. You can also hear traces of early Fates Warning here and there too. Definitely check this out if you're a fan of those aforementioned bands.
