From the band's formation in 1991 until 1997, the line-up was stable, but on The Ophidian Wheel (1997) and A Fallen Temple (1998) a female vocalist, Natalie Rassoulis, was added. The group split up in October 2003, and after the breakup, its members moved on to different or existing projects: Chris Antoniou continued involvement with Chaostar, which he formed in 1998, and Katsionis played guitar for Nightfall and keyboards for Firewind. The DevilWorx formed a year after Septic Flesh's disbanding, and featured some members from Septic Flesh's original line-up. In March 2007, guitarist Sotiris Vayenas revealed his plans for a new solo project called Aenaos.
On February 19, 2007, Septic Flesh announced a reunion for Greece's Metal Healing Festival featuring Orphaned Land, Rage and Aborted, set to take place July 20–22. On April 3, 2007, Blabbermouth.net reported the band reunited for a seventh full-length CD, for French record label Season of Mist. According to guitarist and composer Christos Antoniou, the release would feature a full orchestra and a choir, totalling 80 musicians and 32 singers. Septic Flesh finalized the new album, Communion, in Studio Fredman in Sweden; it was released in April 2008. By this time the band had changed its name from Septic Flesh to Septicflesh. According to guitarist Christos it looks better and states a new phase in the band.
On September 10, 2009, the band announced that they had begun work on a new studio album, tentatively planned for release in the beginning of 2011. On December 17, 2010, the band released the first single from the new batch of material titled "The Vampire From Nazareth" and announced that the new album will ship April 28 in the UK, and April 29 In the USA. On February 12, 2014, the band released details about their new album entitled 'Titan'. The album will be released later in the year 2014.
Pyramid God
Septic Flesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You seek the one not willing to be found
Pyramid God, unlike the places you have been
I’m not confined by lines
Pyramid God, I am the dreamer of this realm,
(God) but not the dream inside.
(God) I am the headless mind!
Are you… are you… are you a breath of mine?
You cross my gates, the gates of space and time
Pyramid God, am I the user of the gates?
I live a triangle life
Pyramid God, I am the dreamer of this realm,
(God) but not the dream inside.
Pyramid God, I am the head outside the dream.
(God) I am the headless mind!
Build me a monument,
new age conspirators.
Expand my theories
to a world without end
Build me a monument,
new age conspirators.
Expand my theories
to a world without end
The Pyramid God is watching…
Build me a monument,
new age conspirators.
Expand my theories
to a world without end
The opening lines of Septic Flesh's song Pyramid God suggest that the listener is seeking some sort of entity that is not interested in being found. The following lines introduce the concept of the Pyramid God, and it is revealed that this god is not confined by the limitations of physical spaces or time. The repeated lines of "Pyramid God" seem to act as a sort of chant, emphasizing the god's importance and power. The singer appears to be questioning whether the listener is "a breath of mine," again suggesting that the god exists on a level above and beyond the physical world.
The chorus of the song repeats the previous idea that the Pyramid God is the dreamer of this realm, but not a part of the dream itself. The god is described as having a head outside of the dream, but also as a headless mind. This creates an intriguing contrast of the physical and non-physical world, emphasizing the limitless nature of the god's power.
The final lines of the song, "Build me a monument, new age conspirators. Expand my theories to a world without end," seem to be a direct command from the Pyramid God. The god is watching and waiting for followers to build a monument to its power, and to spread its influence and theories beyond the bounds of the physical world.

The Violinist slightly nodding his head to the beat is pure perfection
@msihcs8171
If you watch closely you'll see a number of the orchestra getting into the songs, it's hard not to with the amount of energy these guys bring to the music
@WatchRayPlay
I would hope their appreciation of music helps, though I can bet there's a few going "we are really playing for these guys??"
However nowadays it's less and less of a surprise to see orchestral ensemble blending live with metal. Dimmu borgir, Metallica, Yngwie Malmsteen, and many more have done such performances available on youtube
@Sebs0027
You can tell the orchestra is totally into this band as well. 🤘👹🤘
@cherylchaison6363
This is symphonic metal at its best. Beautiful
@cooltechnician
Nightwish..Epica.. Within Temptation are Symphonic metal.. Septic Flesh.. Fleshgod Apocalypse and now Shadow of Intent are Symphonic Death Metal
@aspyr5681
I don't really listen to Septicflesh, but I saw a nice looking thumbnail of the live performance of Persepolis, and next thing you know I spent my day watching this concert on repeat, and yes for the entirety of the concert I had grimace of war because well how could I not when the music is so greasy as fuck. Bravo, everyone involved, this is phenomenal.
@aldocesar4985
Start to listen
@kimsmith6666
I've seen them 3 times live, and only heard this live once. My favourite song
@tetsuoshima73
Listen Persepolis or Dark Art
