41. Mephiskapheles (w/ Puppet Perspectives)

C-P-S-C-P-O-D! Hail satan as Checkered Past discusses the 90’s era of jazzy ska-metal iconoclasts, Mephiskapheles! To break it down, Rob and Celine welcome their first ever puppet, Jerrell of podcast and youtube channel Puppet Perspectives! Jerrell touches on his history with Ska, the origins of his show and his puppet influences before delving into Mephiskapheles trio of albums from the two tone stomp of God Bless Satan to the jazz inflected Maximum Perversion to the heavy as hades Might-Ay White-Ay. They cap it all off with a black metal game of Keep It Trve or False Metal.
