Septicflesh

Septicflesh is a band that has carved a unique niche within the metal scene, blending imposing orchestral elements with the aggressive force of death metal. Hailing from Athens, Greece, the band was originally formed in the early 1990s by Sotiris Vayenas (guitar), Spiros Antoniou (bass and vocals), and Christos Antoniou (guitar), who aimed to blend the grandeur of classical music with the intensity of death metal, creating a sound that is both majestic and devastating. Over the years, Septicflesh has undergone several lineup changes and evolved their sound, earning a dedicated global fanbase through their innovative music and thematic compositions that often explore dark, mythological, and philosophical subjects.

With albums like "Codex Omega" and "Titan," Septicflesh has continued to push the boundaries of symphonic death metal, gaining acclaim for their complex arrangements and the seamless integration of orchestral elements with brutal metallic riffs. The release of "Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX," a live album that captures their performance with a full orchestra and choir, showcases the band's ability to translate their intricate studio sound to a live setting, cementing their status as pioneers in their genre. The band's lyrical themes, often drawn from ancient mythology, literature, and personal introspection, coupled with their musical innovation, make Septicflesh a standout act within the diverse world of metal music. Their most recent releases, including singles like "The Vampire from Nazareth" and albums such as "Modern Primitive," continue to explore new soundscapes, demonstrating the band's relentless pursuit of artistic growth and their refusal to be confined by the traditional boundaries of the metal genre.
