Serpent Column is an elusive yet captivating force within the underground metal scene, often heralded for their intricate fusion of black metal, mathcore, and a variety of other extreme metal subgenres. The project, which remains shrouded in mystique due to a deliberate choice of privacy and anonymity, emerged onto the scene with the release of "Ornuthi Thalassa" in 2017. This debut album set the tone for the band's ambitious and unorthodox approach to metal, characterized by a relentless pace, complex guitar work, and philosophical lyrics deeply rooted in ancient history and literature.

Following the momentum of their initial offering, Serpent Column continued to expand their sonic horizons with subsequent releases, including "Mirror in Darkness" in 2019, and "Endless Detainment" and "Kathodos" both released in 2020. These works saw the band delving deeper into a dizzying array of time signatures and a ferocious blend of dissonance and melody, earning them a dedicated following among listeners who crave metal that is both cerebral and viscerally intense. In 2021, the band's latest release, "Katartisis," serves not just as another showcase of their technical prowess, but also as a testament to their ever-evolving nature within the metal lexicon. Serpent Column's music is a challenging and exhilarating journey through a labyrinth of audial and intellectual extremity, resonating with fans who seek out the vanguard of the genre.
