Septic Flesh, a band that was always expressing the Faustian spirit and the aenaon search of the soul. In nowadays' society where human beings have no opinion nor will of their own, imprisoned by their own will, they only follow and they feed upon lies, waiting for the land of promise and a fake paradise/utopia, Septic Flesh with "Sumerian Daemons" bring forth the arch meaning of the word "Demon" (Daemon). Daemon = Demon = the one who seeks knowledge, wisdom, the free spirit that won't follow; definitely not the false meaning that Church passed throughout the centuries of a dark soul/fallen angel trying to lead humans to eerie delights/temptation. They take us back to the ancient civilizations of the Sumerians and ancient Egypt, thousands of years ago, when humans were searching for utter knowledge and attain wisdom. The Sumerian ziggurats and the pyramids of Egypt, symbols of symmetry and a free age when the spirit was able to fly? Read more ›› |

Written by [user id=108163] on 05.09.2010 at 15:44 I gotta say, when I first listened to this album I didn't really liked it, and I thought it was uninteresting. But it's been growing on my like no other! How can I be so fool to think this was not interesting...? lol

One of my favourite Septicflesh albums. Though, actually, almost all of them are my favourties.

This album definitely takes you to another place, it makes me feel like a mere mortal who has the privilege to eavesdrop on god's creation - definitely their best work!

I couldn't appreciate The Great Mass, Titan or Communion, but this album is great!

Septicflesh took the refreshing new components of Revolution DNA, matured in songwriting and added extremity to the whole thing. While I'm in favor of Communion, I still see this as their comeback album. Without a doubt their best since their debut up to this point in my opinion. Spiros' vocals are fantastic on this one. Another thing, which has nothing to do with the album itself, but it's such a shame that the In The Flesh II boxset has a bit of a buggy press with this album. The songs on Sumerian Daemons tend to seamlessly follow each other but on my CD there is an awkward pause/echo from the previous track that bleeds into the next one and it is a bit annoying if I focus on it too much. Anyway, not like I didn't need excuses to buy it on vinyl when I get the chance.
