After Transcending Bizarre's brilliant avant-garde symphonic black metal, Greece strikes again with Septic Flesh that deliver absolutely brilliant epic/symphonic death. One word summarizes everything: unique!

Symphonic Metal, Death Metal // 2011 // Best: "Oceans of Grey"

Symphonic death that aptly balances the classical bits - ie: they not too cheesy. The clean vocals, however, do sound like every other clean vocals on albums mixing metal with classical music. Despite not being my cuppa - it's almost too epic but eh i like Four Year Strong who am i to judge -, one cannot ignore the beautiful compositions and performances.

Orchestral death metal which isn't overblown, pretentious, cringeworthy cheeseball crap? Yes, it exists. The Great Mass succeeds on the strength of its songwriting ("Oceans of Grey," "Apocalypse") and its balance-- the orchestra and the band are never competing, but rather playing together. Moreover, it doesn't hammer you over the head with blast beats and bland distorted chords (I'm looking at you, Fleshgod Apocalypse).

Great symphonic death metal from Greece. Their best work yet.

In general, The Great Mass' sound shouldn't be all that impressive given what the Greek symphonic death metal band had to work with when going into its conception - their choir and orchestra - so, yes, it's certainly grandiose to say the least. However, they could have done much more with this thing. Base songwriting has improved, too; and the harsh vocals of Seth Antoniou are just as potent as ever. The cleans, well - not so much. It's unfortunate that with each release Septic Flesh continue to downplay their death metal element, though, and The Great Mass is no exception either. Theatrical metal gets no better, and much, much worse, than this, though, but you might want to consider this year's Agony offering from Septic Flesh's Italian peers Fleshgod Apocalypse instead. The rumor is that that album is better anyway.

A beautifully dark and orchestral piece of work from Greek Death Metal kings. On par with Communion.

one of the best albums ive ever heard very interesting were they are taking the genre its a breath of fresh air from the many stale "brutal" death metal bands and resonates creativity compared to the mass of bad deathcore bands that now plague extreme metal.
