3l3d3p

3L3D3P formed in 2011 as a duo called Angelus and Mefisto. They work in electro-industrial music, though the existing history's claim about them hailing from former Soviet wastelands feels more like atmospheric dressing than a concrete fact. Their first album came out in 2013 under the title Ascendance.

Their song Ibitbt became something of a phenomenon, though it's hard to say exactly why. The track has an insistent beat and vocals that are difficult to make out, which led to some confusion and debate among listeners. It went viral, which helped bring them more attention.

They've kept releasing albums fairly regularly since then, with titles like Desolation, Ruination, Aether, and Convergence. Angelus and Mefisto have maintained their anonymity throughout, which has become part of their presentation as artists.
