More about 'Amphibians'

Greek symphonic death metal masters Septicflesh return with "Amphibians", a four-track EP that perfectly encapsulates their signature blend of orchestral grandeur and crushing heaviness. The release alternates between pounding tribal rhythms and more melodic orchestral sections, creating a sonic journey that explores the shifting dynamics between dissonant brutality and melodic beauty. The EP serves as a perfect representation of what makes Septicflesh so unique in the metal landscape - their ability to seamlessly weave together gentle orchestral passages with an overwhelming wall of sound that few bands can match.

The concept behind "Amphibians" dives deep into the world of amphibian demigods, specifically the Nommo from Dogon mythology. This thematic approach allows the band to explore the duality of existence - creatures that can survive both in water and on land, much like how Septicflesh bridges the gap between classical orchestration and extreme metal. The EP includes orchestral versions of tracks, showcasing the band's compositional depth and their ability to create music that works both as crushing metal anthems and as standalone orchestral pieces.

For fans of: Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, and Cradle of Filth
