SEPTICFLESH
The first re-release of the second full-length studio album by cult Greek Atmospheric/Gothic Death Metal band.
The album is widely considered to be Septic Flesh's most Experimental and Progressive release. Also, it is the only Septic Flesh album not to feature guitarist/composer Christos Antoniou, as he took a leave of absence from the band during this period. And, though someone named "Kostas" is credited as a session drummer, all drums were programmed.
Infectious but yet pummelling hooks give way to melodic interludes and then suddenly break into heavy passages with tortured, shrieked vocals; "Εσοπτρον" ("Esoptron") showcases a young Septic Flesh further honing their craft and cementing themselves among the Heavy Metal elite.
Long regarded as an essential record within the Gothic Metal world, "Esoptron" is now fully remixed and remastered and features a brand-new cover artwork (designed by Seth Siro Anton), as well as three bonus tracks. “Woman of the Rings” was previously available only on the long sold-out “DNA Choronzone” (aka "The Eldest Cosmonaut") EP, and the live versions of “Crescent Moon” and “Brotherhood of the Fallen Knights” have never been released before.
Season Of Mist, 1995/2013 (SOM 286). Made in France. Pressed in Germany.
