Septicflesh plays a unique style of death metal that incorporates symphonic elements that they blend together flawlessly. Their new album Titan, is released next week and from what I’ve heard of it so far they seem to be going even farther in perfecting their sound that made their 2011 release The Great Mass so popular. Also on the bill is Italian band Fleshgod Apocalypse who are making a name for themselves by blending symphonic and classical elements with aggressive technical death metal. Fellow Italians Hour Of Penance were supposed to be on this tour but unfortunately had to drop off because of visa issues. Montreal’s Necronomicon will be smashing ear drums with a blackened death metal sound that fans of Behemoth and Lovecraft will surely enjoy. There are also several great locals worth checking out for this date including Seraph and Gloom so be sure to get there early. Give a listen to these songs below and tell me why you want to go to this awesome show!
Septicflesh – Order Of Dracul
Fleshgod Apocalypse – Pathfinder
Necronomicon – Rise Of The Elder Ones

great line up…cant wait
These bands rarely tour the US; this is a true treat to this area!!!
I’m excited most for Septicflesh, but Fleshgod is also great. I’ve never seen either symphonic death band.
Excited because it’s going to kickass!!
Psyched for this show. Waiting on the vinyl to come in for the new one, loved Communion!
I finally get to see SepticFlesh headline this time and hopefully they get to play some classics from their 90s.
I missed them the last time they came through due to finances, so it will be awesome to see them headline again! Also Spiros Antinou is one of my favorite harsh vocalists.
I’m excited for this show since I missed Septicflesh in 2011 when they did that tour with Children of Bodom, Devin Townsend Project, and Obscura since I was out of state, and because they skipped our area the following year. They’re one of my favorite bands and a reason why Greece is one of my favorite countries. Plus Seth Siro Anton is a top notch artist/musician.
Because Septicflesh is awesome!!
Can’t wait to see Fleshgod play new songs from Labyrinth
Fleshgod Apocalypse are the reason I’m excited.
Because Fleshgod Apocalypse never fails to deliver!
Known Septicflesh for a ton of years now!
I’m excited for septicflesh’s brand spankin new album!
Fleshgod apocalypse
I saw them both nights in a row last time they came to Jaxx with DTP and Bodom. I loved it, I played their shit in dark mazes I made for kids as a camp counselor.
Flagged Apocalypse playing The Violation again.
*Fleshgod
FUCKING SEPTICvFLESH!!!!!
My first Metal show was at this venue with my 14 year old son. He begged me to go see Behemouth and Septicflesh. Completely changed my life..no one has to beg me to go metal shows any more.
