Album Description
Available in:
"Codex Omega" is the tenth studio album by Greek death metal band Septic flesh, released on September 1, 2017, through Season of Mist.
User Album Review
Codex Omega is Septicflesh’s best record in years and a towering majesty of extreme metal that is certain to be remembered as one of 2017’s crowning gems.
That's not exactly subtle, but neither is Codex Omega, Septicflesh's monumental 10th record. The Greek quartet's latest is an artfully constructed ode to brutality that almost perfectly fuses symphonic metal and death metal together to create a graceful and elegant, yet staggeringly violent, masterwork of chaos. It genuinely doesn't get much better than this.
For newcomers skeptical about the fusion of death metal and symphonic music, any hesitation will be eradicated mere minutes into the record. Septicflesh's symphonic elements are key to the music and it's impossible to imagine Codex Omega as a straight death metal piece, but that's not to imply that it skimps on the ferocity. Codex Omega is one of 2017's most merciless albums, and is actually considerably more aggressive than Septicflesh's other recent works, which were already formidable affairs. The death growls sound more like thundering death roars, while the average distorted riff carries the bombastic gravitas that is typically only sustained for mere seconds in lesser records. Soaring symphonies and loud-as-hell production tie everything together, yet the songs move at a brisk enough pace and offer just enough reprieves to keep things fresh for the duration.
There's been no shortage of incredible metal releases this year, and while early talks about 2017's absolute best albums is certainly a topic for contentious debate, there's no doubt that Codex Omega unarguably deserves to be considered in that conversation. Death metal fans, symphonic metal fans and all other metal music fans need apply. This isn’t one to miss.
