In spring 2019, Greek symphonic death metal outfit, SEPTICFLESH, will embark on a massive 45 day long European tour through 22 countries.
Supported by Brazilian death metallers KRISIUN and Sweden's DIABOLICAL, the »Codex Omega« European Tour 2019 will start in Essen and conclude in Ludwigsburg after almost two months on the road.
Just recently, the band announced a unique live event in which they will perform their characteristic brand of symphonic death metal accompanied by a full orchestra and choir featuring over 100 musicians! The show, which has already sold out, will take place at the Metropolitan Theater in Mexico City, on February 2nd 2019 and will be captured on film for a future DVD release.
SEPTICFLESH's unique blend of symphonic arrangements, avant garde elements, atmosphere and eviscerating extreme metal has been converting legions into fans since the 90s. Now, with a streak of modern classic albums under their belt such as "Sumerian Daemons" (2002), "Communion" (2008), "The Great Mass" (2011), "Titan" (2014), and now "Codex Omega" (2017) there seems to be no stopping this creative juggernaut.
SEPTICFLESH's latest album »Codex Omega« is the first to feature former DECAPITATED drummer Kerim "Krimh" Lechner. Months of hard work and experimentation crafted the album, and resulted in 10 compositions of dark sonic bliss. Lyrically and musically, »Codex Omega« is by far the most infernal release of SEPTICFLESH to date. The album was produced by highly acclaimed metal producer, Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, KREATOR). Besides the orchestral side represented once again by the Filmharmonic Orchestra of Prague, the band utilised traditional instruments such as Oud and Duduk and also a 12 string electro-acoustic guitar, enhancing the mystical atmosphere of the compositions. Of course as always, »Codex Omega« is dominated by the relentless death guitar riffing and the pale melodies that are the trademark of SEPTICFLESH.
