I've been a fan boy of them since the 1990 when they were formed. Their guitarist Christos composes all the orchestrations for the band. Christos studied composition at the London College of Music under the guidance of Martin Ellerby, Head of the Composition department, acquiring his Bachelor of Music in 1999. He continued his studies in Composition/Orchestration earning his Master’s Degree in Concert Music. Adam Gorb, Head of composition in the Royal Northern College of Music, was among his tutors. They've been doing a continuous collaboration with the Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague since their 2008 album "Communion". Also his brother, vocalist/bassist Spiros is a visual artist / painter and has done many album covers for bands like, Exodus, The Foreshadowing, Paradise Lost, Moonspell, Soilwork, Kamelot, Vader etc etc....
One of my favourite bands.... don't know of its been mentioned but Christos Antonio (the dreadlock guitarist) is a proper classical composer educated to Masters degree level . This is why they kick so much with the orchestral side. Check the live Mexico gig out for full effect, also the orchestra only versions . Freaking awesome.
Excellent! For once a band not ruined by excessive speed. I'm a sucker for those chunky riffs. And that greek influence with the acoustic (bouzouki?) fit in there perfectly.
Yeah i wish more bands would understand that faster is not always better. Like, i love me some blastbeats and such but there is a time and place for it, and when it's a bit slower it sounds heavier instead.
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody if you're going through albums, Sumerian Daemons and Communion will not disappoint. Both are very dark and "Lovecraftian" if thats a proper word. I was a little surprised that the live concert did not have "Virtues of the Beast". When you hear the song, you might agree. Great videos!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody What i like in this band is that Seth ( the lead singer ) doesnt use technology in vocals . What you hear is his voice , no effects , nothing but his voice.
Septicflesh is excellent dude! Some of my favorites and recommendations: Sangreal, Anubis, Sunlight Moonlight, The Vampire from Nazareth, Communion, Portrait of a Headless Man, and Dark Art Slight genre tangent, but you NEED to hear Ne Obliviscaris sometime, especially if you like the dynamic of clean and growl vocals working together. Basically any of their songs would do, but I wouldn't recommend anything more highly than "Equus". Emotional nuclear bomb, if I had to put it to words.
I'm glad you liked it 😁 quite tough and atmospheric ☺️ how I love it 😆 but it's obligatory to have melodious moments too. The intro plays a Greek national instrument, these guys are Greek and in their music it's really a lot of Greek and it's cool. this is their feature. And the vocals are something unreal, it's a matter of a special technique, and there are no special effects with the voice. sounds unusual and very cool and also sounds live. Now imagine that a couple of years ago these guys gave a concert with a full symphony orchestra on stage and even with a children's choir 😁 poor kids, after this concert, they immediately matured 😆
Always loved Spiros's vox. Ever since 'Mystic Places of Dawn'. His brother, Christos, is one of the guitarists and main composer. And they have Kerim on drums. What could go awry with such a line-up?
Yessssssss Septicflesh! My favorite track of theirs is easily Dark Art, that's a must hear. Absolute pinnacle of blending together intense death metal with insane orchestral elements.
They are also super good live! I had some bad luck the first time i wanted to see them live, cuz they found an old bomb from the 2nd world war in the street next to venue that day, so they didnt let the bus with the instruments through. But i finally got to see them live in Wacken couple years back and they fucking killed it!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody And dude, if you haven't seen it yet, Alex Terrible released a newer single called Doom Slayer and it's freaking epic. Should check it out, even if it's just on your own time. :D
I am from Greece!I am fan of Septicflesh, i think that nowadays the band gains the recognition and acceptance they deserve.. They have coped so hard and have delivered great music through the years though I think their fame is by far less than they deserve..I admire you very much my friend i watch you and your message in the last part of the video really touched my heart..it gives me hope now in the darkest times of my life that i have lost my job,my money,my love and coping with depression..thank you dude that means a lot..a stranger from Greece..
My friend, THANK YOU for introducing this 56 year old death metal woman to SEPTIC FLESH. I am addicted. Please react how you want, your facial expressions show your true love for this band and the genre.
Hmm.. almost lol. Seriously i doubt I'll ever listen to black metal but there was some seriously good parts here. I could kinda stand the growling here, though i still can't hear everything. Musically slow enough i could really sink my teeth into it, sounded cool! I'm keeping an open mind and still listening to what the melody is sharing. ❤ & ✌️
Septicflesh , Enemy of truth official live version Infernus Sinfonica...Brass, strings, choir will take you down to HELLS GATE AND YOU MAY BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE SATAN FACE....😈😈 Highly recomended! Hope you react to this one in a few weeks...😊😊🤘
I've been a fan of Septicflesh (then Septic Flesh) for 20+ years. Back when Sumerian Daemons came out, I was sold on the band by Virtues of the Beast, such a good track. Sumerian Daemons became one of my favourite albums ever (I've listened to it enough that I had to buy an extra copy because the CD got slightly damaged and the last 2 tracks were skippy). ALL their albums are good, and I know this track (Neuromancer) is rather slow but, they can do speed too (Faust is the first track that comes to my mind). Septicflesh has always stood out for me compared to other Death Metal bands, and rightfully so. If you have gotten to listen to their work more (old and new), you'll notice that there's a certain recurring "sound" to the band too, just the way their riffs go. Since you really enjoyed them, I'd suggest giving Chaostar (their other project) and Rotting Christ (another Hellenic staple) a listen as well ! But uh, yeah, listening to Septicflesh is like listening to a movie for me, except it plays in my head lol. On a complete side note, I've got to meet them in the early 2000's at the Holy Party, they are nice and friendly people ! And btw, even though you've just recently discovered the band, I bet you've actually seen a lot of Spiro Antoniou's artworks because he's done covers for many other bands, including Moonspell and Paradise Lost.
Dude I have been diving into the albums! I actually started listening to Sumerian Daemons! Sooo good! This band has done something to me that no other band has done. Loveeee em!
They've been a mainstay for me for over 20 years and although I've grown apart from some of the other bands I've been very fond of too since around the same time (either lineup or style changes) there never was a time that I stopped listening to SF, it's always been at least periodic (I like revisiting old stuff regularly). This year though I've repurchased every album (told older ones came in "4-packs" just so I could preserve my original copies (back in the Holy Records days, which are impossible to find now) which means they've been put on repeat on the drives to and from work haha. Also again, if you haven't done so, check out their brothers Rotting Christ, albums like Theogonia and Sanctus Diavolos are amazing. Cheers \,,/@@TheWolffAndTheMelody
They do have A LOT stronger songs, not that this is a bad one. Just to mention a few: Lovecraft's Death Anubis The Vampire from Nazareth A Great Mass of Death Pyramid God Burn Prometheus Titan Portrait of a Headless Man

dudeeee I loved this! I still have some Ne Oblivisceis coming.
I love this and new stuff for me which makes me haaappy❤️, thank u for reaction and who recommends this!
Im soooooo glad I watched
You should do a react to Daath - The drummer for Septicflesh is the drummer for the new Daath album as well. Check out the song "No rest no end"
I actually did do a reaction to Daath. Krimh is amazing!

Legendary band....with so heavy Discography....Like THE OPHIDIAN WHEEL
..E S O P T R O N ....AND...AND....RESPECT 🤘🔥🤘🎸🖤♠️
Listened to this twice. A lot to take in. Loved it.
This song would be a great intro into this style of music if you struggle with heavy death metal
That was excellent!
Really hard not to headbang to haha
I recommend Saor - Forgotten Paths. This will bring you to a new world.
Dude Right! I will check it out
Greece has a reason to be very proud 👏👏👏 So dynamic, awesome and amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥
RIGHT! There is so many great Greek bands!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody this is the best🔥

Ohhhh I gotta listen
Should react to one of their live songs with orchestra, its simply amazing
I plan too, Im loving this band so much
They are also super good live!

I knew i'd love this when I saw it was named after one of my favorite books. ;)
dude this song is right up my alley!
@@TheWolffAndTheMelodyDefinitely woke me up!
