Mephisto Walz was formed by Barry Galvin, in 1985, following his departure from the influential gothic group, Christian Death. Barry gathered an impressive line-up and later added Christiana on vocals, helping to mold a unique and classic goth sound.
The band's brooding atmospheres, melodic hooks, ethereal voices, washy guitars, and distinct production distinguished Mephisto Walz as a prominent and evolving act within the genre. Today, the amalgamation of these elements are what have established Mephisto Walz as a legendary band for their contributions to the death rock genre and as an inspiration for many other contemporary gothic rock artists.
Orgy fue formado en 1997 por el vocalista Jay Gordon (ex bajista de la banda Deadsy) y el guitarrista Ryan Shuck, quien perteneció a la banda original de Johathan Davis Sexart. Davis influyó en su eventual firma con el sello disquero de Korn Elementree Records.
El bajista Paige Haley, el guitarrista Amir Derakh, y el percusionista Bobby Hewitt pronto se unieron para completar la alineación de la banda.
Todos eran veteranos de la escena "hair metal" de los clubes de Los Angeles en los tardíos años 80`s y principios de los 90`s. Derakh había tenido cierto reconocimiento en la banda ochentera Rough Cutt y Hewitt era miembro oficial de Electric Love Hogs. Gordon y Derakh eran también experimentados productores (Coal Chamber, Spineshank, CrazyTown, etc.).

En 1967 comenzó a trabajar en los cabarés de Los Ángeles, ambiente que le influyó mucho para las canciones de su primer disco, Closing Time (1973), aunque este álbum se vio eclipsado por The Eagles y Tim Buckley, pero fue con el álbum Heart of Saturday Night (1974) el que dio a conocer su personal estilo. Más tarde en 1975 con el disco en directo Nighthawks at the Diner combina canciones muy personales (entre ellas Better off without a wife) con entretenidos monólogos introductorios.
Tras Small Change (1976), sus siguientes discos no consiguieron situarse en las listas de éxitos. En esos años interpretó pequeños papeles en películas como La cocina del infierno (1978) o Corazonada (1981, de Francis Ford Coppola), para la que también compuso la música.
Volvió a las listas de ventas en la década de 1980 con Swordfishtrombones (1983), Rain Dogs (1985) y Frank’s Wild Years (1987), discos en los que confluyeron una gran variedad de estilos desde el blues hasta el tango, que dieron a sus canciones una atmósfera especial que le aseguró el éxito de ventas y la aceptación del gran público. También participó en películas como Bajo el peso de la ley (1986, de Jim Jarmusch), Drácula (1992, de Coppola) y Vidas cruzadas (1993, de Robert Altman) con papeles de más importancia que en sus anteriores incursiones en el cine. Asimismo, compuso la música de la película Noche en la Tierra (1991, de Jim Jarmusch) y al año siguiente, graba Bone Machine (1992). Un año más tarde colaboró con William S. Burroughts en la ópera cómica de carácter siniestro The Black Rider.
El disco que te presentamos en esta ocasión 'Beautiful Maladies: The Island Years' es una recopilación de 22 tracks provenientes de 6 álbums que van de 1980 a 1992, es decir: 'Swordfishtrombones', 'Frank's Wild Years', 'Big Time', 'Bone Machine' y 'The Black Rider'.
Un excelente disco para quien guste de escuchar trompetas con sordinas, una voz de arrabal y composiciones completamente originales.
