Septic Flesh

Venue: The Grove

City: Anaheim, CA

Set length: 40 minutes

The Lineup: Septic Flesh, Satyricon, & Cradle of Filth

I didn’t know anything about this band until tonight but they became my top pick of the evening. The lighting was very dark, the guitars were tuned low, and the vocals were as guttural as could be. The stage was of limited size for them as the equipment for Cradle and Satyricon were taking up the majority of the stage already. I always feel like a band plays better with less space and lights as they tend to form a tighter unit on stage. These guys just put their heads down and churned out a great 40-minute set. Turns out this band is from Athens, Greece and they have been around since 1990. I immediately came home from this show and purchased all I could from the band online! Each of their releases are different in nature so make sure to inspect everything they put out as you will not be bored with the same sound over and over. If you are in southern CA and want to catch them, they are playing the House of Blues on January 16, 2010, with Behemoth and Shining. See you there…
