many other bands tied to the hardcore punk, thrashcore, crust punk etc. scenes. The band played
only a few shows during its active years (1981 to 1986), mostly in Boise, Idaho.

"Septic death's songs deal mainly with fear and paranoia, the mental state of a person and how it
functions. A few songs deal with current issues, but those are so depressing just to read the paper,
why bring more attention than a song? If you seek to bring out solutions or terror to open eyes of
fear, that is well constructed. But just complaints do not have meanings of knowledge. Strength
away from fear or the acceptance of fear and what it creates makes it wiser for the mind... not the
person who sings the song he writes but lives in terror of them. Open the eyes and let the enjoyment
in; the awareness is essential.(extracted from Maximum Rock'N'Roll)."
"...religions were formed to create a god, and god was created, so you wouldn't fear death, and the
reality of dying is SEPTIC DEATH (extracted from MRR)."
Fans of Septic Death such as Dwid Hellion (of Integrity) often characterized their sound as "horror
hardcore" (as stated in Integrity's "Sliver In The Hands Of Time") due to the artwork, lyrics and
content of their songs.
The Quality and Scarcity of the Septic Death releases have inspired a number of well made
professional bootlegs, the most recent being a discography entitled "Zorlac Anthology". The double
bootleg cd was released in the UK and limited to only 100 copies. « hide |
