Septicflesh for Tech/Extreme Prog Metal

A) Original bio + Band pic

Septicflesh (formerly Septic Flesh) is a symphonic death metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 1990 and splitting up in 2003, just to reform again in 2007. They have been active both in the studio and on stage since.

The current line-up of the band consists of bassist and vocalist Spiros 'Seth Siro Anton' Antoniou, rhythm guitarist, lyricist, keyboardists, and vocalist Sotiris Vayenas 'Sotiris Anunnaki V.', lead guitarist and orchestrator Christos Antoniou, and drummer Kerim 'Krimh' Lechner.

Septicflesh released their debut studio album in 1994, named 'Mystic Places of Dawn', and have released 10 studio albums as of 2021, 2 EPs, 2 singles, and 1 live album. The band also has four music videos to its credit.

Their style of symphonic death metal is well recognizable in the community, because of the growling vocals, the magical orchestrations and the conceptual albums that feature themes such as Greek, Sumerian, and Egyptian mythology, philosophy, dark arts, and mysticism. They also fuse their music with some gothic rock, black metal, and extreme progressive metal elements that are representing different stages of Septicflesh's career, the last of which seems to be their embracing of more progressive way of composing.
