SEPTIC FLESH - Ophidian Wheel (Re-Release) · CD

Re-Release jewelcase CD with 3 bonustracks.

Background information about 'Ophidian Wheel (Re-Release)'

Septic Flesh delivers one of their most defining works with "Ophidian Wheel", an album that perfectly bridges the gap between brutal death metal and atmospheric orchestration. The Greek masters craft a sonic journey that feels both ancient and futuristic, with tracks like "The Future Belongs To The Brave" and the title track "The Ophidian Wheel" showcasing their ability to weave complex melodies through crushing riffs. The album's production allows every instrument to breathe while maintaining that signature heaviness that made Septic Flesh legends in the extreme metal scene.

What makes this re-release particularly exciting is the inclusion of three unreleased mixes that offer fascinating alternate perspectives on classic tracks. "Phalic Litanies" and "Tartarus" demonstrate the band's knack for creating epic, cinematic soundscapes that would later influence their fully orchestral approach. The bonus material gives longtime fans fresh insights into the creative process behind these timeless compositions, making this essential for anyone wanting to understand the evolution of symphonic death metal.

For fans of: Rotting Christ, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Behemoth, and Emperor
