Mastiphal (band)

Mastiphal is a Polish black metal band. It was founded in Katowice in 1992, initially named Dissolution, thanks to effort of Rafał "Flauros" Góral (later a vocalist for Darzamat) and Cymeris (in latter years associated with Iperyt). A year later the band has been renamed to Mastiphal.

They released one LP: For A Glory Of All Evil Spirits Rise For Victory (1996), two demos: Sowing Profane Seed (1994) and Promo'96; and an EP Seed of Victory (1998), after which the band split up.

It was reactivated in 2009. In September that year a Białystok label Witching Hour Productions released a two-disc issue Damnatio Memoriae, including all past songs by Mastiphal. In 2010 the band was joined by guitar players Damian "Daamr" Kowalski and "Opressor", and also percussist Paweł "Senator" Nowak.
