Since the ‘90s, SEPTICFLESH have elevated death metal to a fine art. Alongside their Athenian brothers-in-arms Rotting Christ and Nightfall, real-life flesh and blood Spiros and Christos Antoniou rose from the Greek underground alongside virtuoso shredder Sotiris Vayenas. After the trio re-communed with drummer Fotis Benardo at the Season of Mist table during the 2000s, the maestros set to work on composing their greatest masterpiece. If ‘Communion’ was a breaking of bread, then ‘The Great Mass’ is the coronation of SEPTICFLESH as the titans of symphonic death metal. Instead of shifting further in one direction, the album doubled down on the band’s brutal symphony. The return of the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the International Choir of Prague adds a gothic flair to the crushing lurch of immortal opener “The Vampire from Nazareth”. An army of strings, brass horns and riffs more blazing than the Sahara raise “Pyramid Gods” into an unshakeable setlist staple. No wonder Metal Hammer named this album one of the ten best symphonic metal albums of all time! Celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of ‘The Great Mass’ with a new transparent red-and-black marbled vinyl.
