That Devil Music has issued a new interview with Christos Antoniou and Sotiris Anunnaki V of Greek demons SEPTICFLESH. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Let’s first talk about the The Great Mass. It has been three years since your last release. How excited are you to get the new album released?

Christos Antoniou: We are really excited and proud about the result. The Great Mass stands for me as the most mature and more emotionally intense album of our career so far. It has elements of all our albums and has an evolution especially in the orchestra parts. We are in our best moment and is time to unleash the intensity of The Great Mass through our shows."

Septicflesh will perform a headline show at the Chaulnes Metal Fest in France on April 23rd.

According to a band update, "this show will be very special as all original members of the band will be on stage. That means that Sotiris Anunnaki V. (guitars / melodic vocals) will play in France for the first time in 12 years! The man’s live appearances are very rare due to obligations in Greece and this will be one of the few exceptions to the rule. Be there for an exquisite mass."

Sotiris comments: “At last, after 12 long years of absence from the stages of France, I have the great pleasure to announce that I will soon come back, for a special Septicflesh headlining show on Chaulnes Metal Fest. So join me and the other Septicflesh members, on Saturday, April 23rd for a mass of death where we will perform the new psalms, but also some favourite old material that was handpicked by our fans specifically for this occasion!”
