Septic Flesh. The last time I came to watch them, they didn't play, but as I'd just confirmed with Paul from Arcane Promotions, they were definitely playing tonight, so I got myself a good spot in front of the pillar in the centre of the dance floor. and after what felt like too much time getting ready, they came out to what I'm pretty sure was "Behold: The Land Of Promise" from the 2003 CD 'Sumerian Daemons' followed by the next 2 tracks from the same album "Unbeliever" and "Virtues Of The Beast", and that's pretty much as old as the stuff got, as everything else was from Communion, unless I'm sorely mistaken. They pretty much kept everything fast and up-tempo, and there were times that the band appeared to be enjoying themselves more than the crowd were, if that's at all possible. When introducing songs and whenever his hands weren't on his bass, Seth would be giving us the horns, or just having his hands grabbed by whomever was in the front row at the time, and I must admit he looks a little overwhelmed by the adoration bestowed upon him. Tracks like "Communion", "Lovecraft´s Death" and "Anubis" had Seth's unmistakable vocals on them, but in Sotiris' absence his clean vocals were all pre-recorded, in a similar fashion to the choral and orchestral pieces. "We, The Gods" had Seth, Chris and I'm convinced the session guitarist was from Nightstalker, but have no confirmation for that claim, headbanging in perfect syncopation to Fotis' drum blasting. They wrapped up their set with "Persepolis" then said "Thank you, good night" and walked off. I was left a little stuffed by what certainly felt like an all too short a set, and they had just whet my appetite to hear loads of older stuff, but alas, it was not to be, but hopefully when they're back in December we'll get a longer more varied set.
