Septicflesh
Septicflesh (earlier known as Septic Flesh, the slight name change
occuring somewhere near 2008) ranks with
Rotting Christ
as among Greece's most well known and well-recieved
metal bands, and the sound of the two bands aren't that
far apart, being a dark gothic metal style.
Of the three albums reviewed here, it's their 2003 effort
Sumerian Daemons , that stands out as their best,
with (mostly) death vocals accompanying crunchy, slow to
mid-paced riffing and a nice flair for symphonic dynamics.
1997's
Ophidian Wheel has less of the death metal
influence and is more melodic, while 1999's
Revolution DNA seems slightly out of place, due in some
part to a cleaner vocal style that doesn't seem quite right
with this band.
They disbanded for several years following
Sumerian Daemons
but then came back and have released three albums since.
