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 utilized 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.

SEPTICFLESH is:
Seth (brutal vocals, bass)
Christos Antoniou (guitars, orchestral)
Sotiris V. (guitars, clean vocals)
Kerim “Krimh” Lechner (drums)

Melodic tech-death overlords ARSIS recently released their horror movie inspired opus Visitant via Nuclear Blast (North/Central/South America) and Agonia (Europe/Rest of World). Vocalist/ guitarist James Malone spent the better part of the last five years preparing for the album, the follow-up to 2013’s savagely good release, Unwelcome. Between Malone and Ellis’ non-ARSIS responsibilities (Malone in supergroup Necromancing the Stone and guitarist Brandon Ellis in The Black Dahlia Murder, new material was put on the proverbial backburner. But the band is back now and stronger than ever with Visitant.

Visitant was recorded in part and mixed and mastered by producer Mark Lewis (WHITECHAPEL,   DEVILDRIVER,  DEICIDE, CANNIBAL CORPSE). Artwork was created by longtime collaborator Mark Riddick.
