SEPTICFLESH was formed as “Septic Flesh” in Greece in the early ’90s by Spyridon Antoniou (a.k.a. Seth Siro Anton): vocals/bass, Christos Antoniou: guitar, and Sotirios Vagenas (a.k.a. Sotiris Anunnaki V.): guitar/clean vocals.

A debut EP was released in 1991, entitled “Temple of The Lost Race”. Their first full-length album “Mystic Places of Dawn” was released in 1994, followed by “EΣΟΠΤΡΟΝ” in 1995.

With the release of “Ophidian Wheel” in 1997, a female soprano vocalist (Natalie Rassoulis) was introduced, as the band moved towards a more symphonic style. “A Fallen Temple” (1998) continued in the same musical direction.

In 1999, “Revolution DNA” was released, followed by “Sumerian Daemons” in 2003, both albums produced by Fredrik Nordström (At The Gates, Opeth, In Flames). Although the band’s popularity was growing, the members decided to disband in order to focus on other personal projects and goals.

But that was not the end of the story…

After a reunion, the band returned with the album “Communion” in 2008, again with Fredrik Nordström at the helm of production. From that point onwards, the symphonic element (composed by Christos Antoniou, who holds a Master’s Degree in Concert Music) was fully implemented in the structure of the songs, with the collaboration of the Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague.

“The Great Mass” (2011) followed with Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) producing, “Titan” (2014) with Logan Mader (ex-Machine Head) as producer, and “Codex Omega” (2017), which started the group’s collaboration with Jens Bogren—a partnership that continues to this day.

In 2020, the band released the epic and fully orchestrated live recording “Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX” (Live in Mexico), available on CD/LP/DVD/Blu-Ray.

Now, SEPTICFLESH has joined forces with Nuclear Blast Records and entered the next phase in their history, with a new album released in May 2022. Once again, Jens Bogren handled the bombastic mix and sound, while Seth Siro Anton—also responsible for the band’s visual identity and known for his work with Nile, Paradise Lost, and Moonspell—crafted a stunning cover and over-the-top artwork.

The new songs impress with many layers, a gloomy and empowering atmosphere, while being heavy and memorable. Besides the continuous collaboration with the Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague, the band also used a full adult choir, children’s choir, and a variety of ethnic instruments.

In 2024, SEPTICFLESH made history by becoming the first metal band ever to perform at the iconic ancient theatre of Herodes Atticus in Athens, Greece.

On February 8th, 2025, SEPTICFLESH performed at the legendary Pepsi Center in Mexico City, accompanied by over 200 people on stage—including a full symphonic orchestra and a double choir—delivering one of the most ambitious and grandiose live shows in the band’s history.
