Septicflesh |
---|
Septic Flesh are a symphonic-influenced death metal band from Athens, Greece, which was founded in 1991.
Biography
From the band's formation in 1991 until 1997, the line-up was stable, but on The Ophidian Wheel (1997) and A Fallen Temple (1998) a female vocalist, Natalie Rassoulis, was added.[citation needed] The group split up in October 2003, and after the breakup, its members moved on to different projects.[citation needed]. Chris Antoniou continued involvement with Chaostar, which he formed in 1998, and Katsionis played guitar for Nightfall and keyboards for Firewind. TheDevilWorx formed a year after Septic Flesh's disbanding, and featured some members from Septic Flesh's original line-up. In March 2007, guitarist Sotiris Vayenas revealed his plans for a new solo project called Aenaos.
Reunion
On February 19, 2007, Septic Flesh announced a reunion for Greece's Metal Healing Festival featuring Orphaned Land, Rage and Aborted, set to take place July 20-22.[1] On April 3, 2007, Blabbermouth.net reported the band reunited for a seventh full-length CD, for French record label Season of Mist. According to guitarist and composer Christos Antoniou, the release would feature a full orchestra and a choir, totalling 80 musicians and 32 singers.[2] Septicflesh (now spelled as one word--see the band's Myspace page) finalized the new album, Communion, in Studio Fredman in Sweden; it was released in April 2008.
