New SepticFlesh LP, Song 2022-03-04 by Fernando Alves STAFF | 16 Comments | Greek symphonic death metallers SepticFlesh have announced that their eleventh studio album, titled Modern Primitive, will be released on May 20th via Nuclear Blast. The music video for the first single, 'Hierophant', can be seen below.
"Hierophant tells the first part of story written by guitarist and clean vocalist Sotiris Anunnaki V titled "Salvation". It depicts the experience of a high priest, acting as a human conduit between Heaven and Earth. Having never heard a single word from the mouth of god, he grows tired of preaching the preordained words of the clergy. He turns to performing primitive and powerful rituals that have been long forbidden, as he seeks the guidance of a chaotic elemental consciousness. The second part of the tale will be revealed with the track "Self-Eater".
Vocalist and bassist Seth Siro Anton comments "Hierophant is the result of an experiment with ideas that have been haunting our minds for quite a long time. Eventually they matured, leading us to create one of our darkest compositions ever. It is a rhythmical song with profane heavy riffing, layered with melodies that bring to mind chants from mystical ancient civilizations like the Egyptians."
Guitarist and orchestrator Christos Antoniou states "We found it appropriate to add an imposing ritualistic element to the song. So, from the first second until the end, the orchestration is focused 100% on its grim task, to create an awe-inspiring atmosphere and put the listener at the center of this forbidden ceremony."
Tracklist:
1. The Collector
2. Hierophant
3. Self-Eater
4. Neuromancer
5. Coming Storm
6. A Desert Throne
7. Modern Primitives
8. Psychohistory
9. A Dreadful Muse

Good track
| | | Drums are barely heard in the video, hope is strictly due to YT.
| | | I could never completely forgive them for abandoning all of their melodic and atmospheric sensibilities of the 90s. Like at least do something, anything, with those guitars please
| | | Finally, next album from my favorite symphonic death metal band! Septicflesh can you beat Codex Omega? PauseChamp
| | | sounds pretty cool again yeah, gonna check when the LP releases for sure
| | | Cool track, Codex Omega was a fun record.
| | | Just got into this band a week or so ago and have been listening to their stuff very regularly. So this was a nice treat. Also hard agree regarding their old material
| | | mystic places of dawn is better agreed
| | | Very by the numbers but not bad.
Lacks riffs
| | | Haven't listened to these guys since the great mass but this song has me interested again. Good song.
| | | Seth's vocals are as brutal as ever!

-- Lacks riffs
They've thrown all their creativity in the orchestral parts, and left the guitars behind.
It's a known effect in symphonic bands of all sorts.
| | | Haven't jammed a full album since Communion if I remember right. I really dug that album though. I saw them live a few years ago and their set kind of bored me tbh and didn't really have me excited to dive into their more recent material. This song sounds solid enough though. I'll give the album a shot once it drops.
| | | Yeah the vocals are fantastic, one of the best metal vocalists working today. Shit sounds like getting hit by a track
| | | Yeah Seth still sounds insane especially considering he is 48 years old
| | | ugh remixed outtakes of nile and epica
