The Mist was led by Jairo Guedz, the initial guitarist using the cult-favorite Brazilian thrash music group Sepultura. After documenting their 1986 debut Morbid Visions, Guedz still left Sepultura to create the Mist, issuing the group’s initial record Phantasmagoria in 1989; The Hangman Tree implemented two years afterwards. Two even more albums, 1993’s Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust and 1996’s Gotteverlassen, had been released before Guedz agreed upon on with Overdose in early 1997; originally a short-term alternative to guitarist Sergio C., he afterwards agreed to sign up for the music group on a long lasting basis, dissolving the Mist along the way.
