Gusto Mastivo

Gusto Mastivo formed in the North East of Scotland after the demise of both Filthpact and Tribe.
Both bands had been pretty political in outlook but with this new band the members wanted to shy away from this and decided on singing about wrestling heroes such as Kendo Nagasaki and Werewolves instead as other bands did the political stuff better. Having formed in early 2008, Gusto Mastivo have released one demo, the second is on its way (June 2009) and have toured extensively including mainland Europe in April 2009.
