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.
Rising
Septic Flesh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Above the things that seal me,
Those trying to deceive me.
I AM RISING!
I fought on psychic wars, the raids of mind control.
I closed my ears to sirens,
Their song I killed with silence.
I AM RISING!
On fields of mist, with thoughts from gold
I am rising as a Sun.
I AM RISING!
Destiny, Victory., are giving me their wings.
Not gone... I am still alive,
Through Will and strong desire. I am rising!
I fought on many wars and bled and cried and lost.
But I kept fighting on, until I reached my goal.
I AM RISING!
Destiny, Victory, have healed my broken wings.
Not gone... I am still alive,
Through Will and strong desire.
I AM RISING!
