SEPTICFLESH
The eighth full-length studio album by legendary Greek Atmospheric/Symphonic Death Metal band.
"The Great Mass" is a new symphonic masterpiece that constitutes a quantum leap in the art of amalgamating orchestral music with Heavy Metal. It was recorded between July - September 2010 in Devasoundz (Greece) and The Abyss (Sweden) with renowned producer Peter Tägtgren, who created the massive sound of "The Great Mass". The orchestration was written by Christos Antoniou and recorded with the FILMharmonic Orchestra Prague, including full choir and boy soprano.
Septicflesh's new songs are the audible evidence of guitarist Christos Antoniou, finishing his studies of classical composition with academic honours and distinction. The Greeks take the next logical step to take the courses they highly successfully set on their celebrated comeback-album "Communion" (2008). "The Great Mass" shows this band at the peak of their evolution over seven full-length releases since Septic Flesh's founding in 1990, in which the band combines massive deadly guitars at the edge of Blackness, with haunting Gothic melodies and cinematic Symphonic arrangements. 
The art, by the hand of Seth (vocals, bass), is a very important part of this release, the principal artwork for "The Great Mass’" is shown on the limited digipak edition, the gatefold vinyl and the dust jacket of the collector’s book.
In 2021, "The Great Mass" was elected by Metal Hammer as the 9th best Symphonic Metal album of all time.
Season Of Mist, 2011 (SOM 229). Made in France. Pressed in Germany.
