Septicflesh

The death metal and gothic metal shows are not for the fainthearted, but if you’re willing to get a bit sweaty and pushed around a little bit, a Septic Flesh show will be one of the best concerts you’ll ever go to. Although the band have broken up and added new members over the years, their reformation and current set up provide what I think is a fresh and exciting spin on their sound, stopping the music from going stale from being dormant over the years.

The show opened with a huge projection of the band’s name on a screen behind the stage, followed by an image of them all in costumes, to which they ran out on stage, arms in the sir, shouting out to us in the crowd. From the first chord that Christos Antoniou struck on his guitar, the whole band were totally immersed in the theatrics of the show, with Spiros speaking directly to the audience to get us hyped for the show.

They played a great selection of tracks, and when they sand Prototype, they had everyone create a circle in the middle of the floor and run towards and around each other, dancing like crazy. All the while, the band were playing incredible tracks to amazing standards whilst dancing intensely themselves. Their stamina and talent is astounding, and it really was one of my favourite shows.
