One of the most epic songs ever made.
This band is criminally underrated.
Travis Bickle not really. They make very great amount of views without falling in the too « popular » side of metal music. It’s a great balance; a lot of genuine fans, and not much else. If they get more popular than this H&M will probably approach them for a contract aha
Can not agree more !!
They're pretty well-established.
Agreed
Agreed.
Love them🖤🤘🏻
2.4m views and not one of you bastards have told me about this band! HOLY FUCK, If 2022 has started with this incredible tune in my life - its gonna be a great year.
That is one of the best metal songs I ever heard.
Great taste my friend
I cant stop listening to this song. Help me.
This is like 4th or 5th band I've discovered that's from Greece and I'm starting to think that Greece is having the best musicians I've ever seen.
them and rotting christ. f amazing
That's just the tip of the iceberg right there.
Also suicidal angels
Indeed!!! Music:Μουσική has started in Greece
There is also Decapitated ,but their more death metal, I don't understand why people need to PLACE MUSIC IN CATAGORIES.
Nobody blends death metal and orchestration as well as Septicflesh, grossly underrated band. Best track yet from Codex Omega
smellyharold well fleshgod apocalypse is also very good at blending orchestra and metal :)
Check out Haggard (expecially the Eppur si Muove album), they'll blow your mind. More of an old-school/less technical DM, but the finest orchestrations in metal I've ever heard.
Haggard is awesome, my favourite band!!!
Well, this is not really death metal to be honnest :-). Fleshgod Apocalypse is closer to death metal than Septicflesh is, but concerning guitars playing none of them really plays death metal, orchestral or not.
or dimmu borgir, but this is one of my new fav. tracks of this year so far
In a world controlled by fire
In a world controlled by fire
Psychotic preachers thrive
They use the waves to bind us
They use the screens to blind us
I joined headless forces
They told us what to do
We worked, we fought, we bled
A cogwheel in the system
A ghost in the machine
In my private thoughts
Only pain felt real
Cry!
I am crying, in the portrait
Of a headless man
Laugh!
I am laughing, in the portrait
Of a headless man
I am a man with strong regrets
I followed great deceivers
Believe in headless leaders
They played their game, true sons of Cain
But I was a hopeless dreamer
With my head deep in the clouds
More joined the fiery leaders
And blood was shed in rivers
Those without a mind had to pick our side
With the use of fearsome methods
One more empty frame ready for display
On a gallery of headless portraits
Cry!
I am crying, in the portrait
Of a headless man
Laugh!
I am laughing, in the portrait
Of a headless man
When I heard the opening line the first things that pop into my head are the twin towers and the calilfornia wildfires
Doug Aldrich Fan thanks
@pikolo ksepikolo yeah the lyrics are extremely spot on about the state of society right now. if you can't understand the lyrics you're as headless as the man whose perspective the lyrics are written from.
Thank you hero
- > Metal song is a nuclear blast of reality nowadays . . .
These lyrcis just hit me so hard, I completely agree with the message behind it. We are used as tools for the purpose of others.
Welcome to New world order/great reset
am just gazing on the lyrics now and realized damn we are the actor In the song
WHAT THE FUCKING HELL IS THIS ???!!!!! :O
Getting goosebumps right now...
Found this in blind chance through youtube.
Never heard this band before, wow, wow, fucking wow, this shit is so evil and epic the same time.
SEPTICFLESH MADE MY FUCKING DAY!!!
DEFINITELY NEW FAN HERE, I LOVE IT. TAKE MY MONEY :D :D \m/ NEED THIS ALBUM SOON :D
GrandMasterTRS I think that's everyones reaction when hearing them for the first time :D I'd recommend listening to the album Communion, too.
also listen to Titan & The Great Mass. You'll love them too.
Evil? nahhh
Aren't they amazing?
@@kimsmith6666 Totally 😍 Saw them live two times and met Seth after the Show to say Hi. 😁🤘
The best Symphonic Death Metal!!
Septic Flesh & Fleshgod Apocalypse = The Gods of symph dm
Awesome band... 👿👿👿
Best greek band 👌
Hollenthon is good as well
Fleshgod Apocalypse too
2:46..that melody
Müthiş ya
Ζω μονος μου , με ενα ημιαιμο μακρυτριχο θυληκο τσιουαουα.Η Ατμοσφαιρα που εχει αυτο το κομματι , με εχει οδηγησει, να εχω πειθαρχεια και συνεπεια σε αυτα που εργαζομαι.Μετα απο 6 χρονια γνωριζοντας το κομματι, για καποιο λογο, εχω προχωρησει πολυ μπροστα στη ζωη μου.
this band never disappoints , the video is ARTISTIC in all it's ways
Favorite track of the album.
lol
Norbert Janz no no just nooooo! Lol
I have stripped of all but pride.
Norbert Janz lmao
2:17 man... this buildup almost make me cry... it's SO FUCKING DAMN GOOD
im digging this band and orbit culture. Listening to more and more of their music. Great job guys! Come play in South Florida!
A new piece of art of the Greek kings of metal,the video is fucking breathtaking.Long live to Septic Flesh!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I just love all the different emotions you get to experience in this song
I can feel it in my spine, it tingles.
The chorus is some of the catchiest growling I've heard
The whole song is perfect
I'm a simple man, I see Septicflesh, I click.
I see septic flesh I pull my pants down...slowly
I am a simple man, I see Septicflesh then I have an orgasm. I click, I have another one!
Sessvart 👀
I read this in Ron Swanson's voice
Ali Zakeri Esiste un po' c'è già a casa se vieni vieni
The Carcass rewind Is so perfect. Thank YOU Septic Flesh
the only band, whose albums i can easily listen entirely, literally every song, not just a couple of tracks. They are insanely good since Communion.
Even higher hopes for the new album that will be released under Nuclear B. Can it get any better than this? They set the bar so high with their latest productions.
Isn't it Amazing that despite the absence of Solos, SF guitars just carry the song on their shoulders and hit you right in the guts !!
Gotta love these riffmasters !! Fukin LEGENDS !!!!!
mr. aishtonishing solos are always nice though it's like a cake without icing
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!! 🤘🏻👹🤘🏻
I fucking love this band. They never disappoint
Oh.... Yes! (No other words) I missed those dark symphonic gods! Back in full power! Fists in the air, brothers!
Never clicked on a video so fast before. Fullscreen on, turn volume up, lay back and enjoy my life getting better.
VladiMaster by the fire be purged
A man that plays HS and listens to SF. You are on the way to be a superhero.
Put your faith in the Light
100 PERCENT CORRECT N TRUE
same :)
The undertones of this song sounds a bit like Loki's series theme. And this video has Dark City and Alien vibes. I have it on repeat :)
This is gold. Absolute gold.
This album is pure MADNESS!!!!!!
Greetings from Serbia \m/
Još malo!
Така е!Greetings from Bulgaria \m/
Greetings from Romania, bro! \m/

Non serbiam!
Ima nas brate, pozdrav tebi sto slusas Septic Flesh \m/
Armenian duduk + syphonic death metal .... It's awesome !!!
Perfection! Greetings from Turkey!
this BAND is the KING of all Bands👑Septic Flesh👑
I remember listening to this for the first time. Can't believe it's been four years since then.
0:33 Seth.. like a GOD
Septicflesh to this day is still my favorite metal band. When I first heard ‘The vampire of Nazareth’ when it came out, I nearly lost it. My feelings have not changed 🖤 the growling, the layered depths of the music, paired with the vast array of cleverly played instruments. Insatiable.
Metal song of the year
Everthing from Septicflesh are always a masterpiece! Best Symphonic Death Metal band of the universe!
\m/
dimmu borgir
🔥 In a world controlled by fire 🔥
watching them and hearing this song live is another freaking thing
not just a song, its an experience.
Yes !!!!
Amazing mix between death metal, orchestra and industrial vibes. This is what I call creativity in extreme metal.
best death metal band in greece!!!!
*in the world
VladiMaster x2
It's true.
best symphonic/melodic death metal band
you probably haven't heard of Dead Congregation...pure death metal in all it's glory
The Best song from the new album!!
FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!
The best music video from Septicflesh!
I don't really listen to music like this, but this is just too good to ignore.
one of the best band ever.
The best band, always revealing the most unsettling and repugnant aspects of humanity through their art. As expected, they have proven their absolute ability to combine two antithetical musical aspects into one perfectly powerful and grossly sophisticated symbiotic masterpiece. I really do think this is my favorite song, and this video is pretty intense too! A common theme with Septicflesh, mankind simply has a woeful addiction to bowing its head in subservience to the brainwashing elite. Giving in to the Machiavellian masters, so many have lost their ability to be skeptics and question all that must be questioned, we are creatures of knowledge. Thank you Septicflesh for feeding my soul; Codex Omega has been an immense delight, and will only get better each time I listen!
u are one of the reasons why i check the comment section on youtube
Septic Flesh Dog , good afternoon,
Mental-slavery... you mean that?
Cause.. i cant decide..what this video is about.. i dont understand much..
Τrue.
Mental slavery, and man's inability to think for himself - a collective mass of brainwashed drones as demonstrated in the video is easy to sway and manipulate, they become the controlled hive. This is a pretty common theme because it's happening in today's societies. It's important that we remain skeptical and continue to think for ourselves, question what we see and hear. This video is about us losing this and giving in to a mysterious disconnected leader that also cannot think for itself (let alone think for us!!!) -
Also - I think the ending represents the destruction of the leader commanding the mindless, and if one is unable to break away from the mind control they will also be destroyed right along with their masters. Essentially the destruction of a 'society'.
Grossly underrated band!! They deserve more!
SepticFlesh outdone themselves as usual
This band just grows and grows when you think they cant do better they just prove you wrong while so many bands get worse as they get deeper into their career
Recently discovered this band by having Neuromancer in the recommended, what an absolute banger!!!
Definitely one of the best songs, a sad true of humanity. I really enjoyed the whole album, Septic Flesh you bring us something that needs to world. Thank you for making a masterpieces of music.
El nivel de profesionalismo, escena, la orquesta es magistral todo es increíble, esta banda está muy infravalorada. Son una chimba.
The best costume-metal there is!
Σας είχα δεί πολύ παλιά στην Λάρισα. Πάντα βγάζετε κάτι καλύτερο κάθε φορά. Με διαφορά η καλύτερη μπάντα και με έμπνευση που δεν την έχει κανένας άλλος !! Απλά θερίζετε !!! Μπράβο ρε !!!
I love your music so much, guys! And that love was born in the age of Sumerian Daemons. Masterpiece called Virtues of the Beast just made me to feel it 😍

I adore philosophy and special writers, damn, quote just in place 💜
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍
I'm so happy I stumbled upon this band a couple days ago. Holy shit I'm in LOVE
Same here. .
Gonna be honest: I usually don't like Heavy Metal music videos because it's usually some generic stuff of the bands playing somewhere else. But THIS video here is just pure art, and matches PERFECTLY with the lyrics.
Needless to say, this is also Septicflesh's best music video so far. 🤘
É um video assombroso. Me deixou chocado. Nota 10
I watched the movie Dark City last night, and all I could think about was this amazing video.
His voice sounds like if Belzebub made his own death metal band in Hell. Badass! 🤘😈
Fantastic song, good video. Lots of well-laid-out thoughts presented here in the symbolism.
Truly masterpiece! Our Greek neighbors and friends never disappointed us.
Thanks dude!! Turkish I guess...am I right?😎
I think I should listen to more Septicflesh
One of the best metal bands to ever exist.
Μουσικάρες! Ο Χρίστος Αντωνίου έγραψε παπάδες πάλι! Τα ορχηστρικά μέρη είναι έπος! Απλά.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
Best Death Metal + Orchestra. Perfection
I love Septicflesh... 👿👿
"I am, a man, with strong, regrets..." I was at the same time darkly empowered and strongly amused!
Excellent band,excellent new album excellent video!!!!
Metal never fails me. Even when you think you’ve heard it all, there will always be dark horses to discover in this genre. Hail Hellas!
My favorite song.
If I was a boss in a videogame this would be my theme.
GarageToad U couldnt be defeated with an epic song like this as ur theme. thus making the game unbeatable
Is this somewhat like Master in early Fallouts? :D
Demon souls with a difficulty mod.
What can I say these guys are masters of their craft
Does anybody feel musicgasm?
I do, so strange, u don't need anyone except your mind vibrating under great symphonies. This artist is an example
I understand you i feel the same thing.... from Greece
@@alexandrospapageorgiou5884
I'm usually asexual but my kind do feel aroused, especially by music which relaxes me (sometimes to the extasy)
Whenever I'm with my male, then I something gets inside me and I become a wild beast.
You understand that??
There should be a term musicgasm for real.💜💜💜
@@Sars_007 music is very powerful, with some songs i feel this ecstasy, sometimes is better than orgasm,so i can feel you,you are not alone, from Greece👍👍👍👍👍
@@alexandrospapageorgiou5884 thanks, Palestinian living in earthquake land Croatia
I don't know the term for it, but that is a thing. I get it too sometimes with certain songs. Like a full-body chill and warm spine-tingling sensation. It's very relaxing
This is the metal album of this decade
An epic video for an epic song. It’s been almost 3 years since it was released and it still feels as powerful as the first day.
the goosebumps though everytime i listen to this masterpiece...
dunkelheitt same here... a metal masterpiece this
This song..no words
This screams chaos space marines.... love it... Amon Amarth, Behemoth, SepticFlesh
What an absolutely epic song! 1:48 cue goosebumps. The chorus of this song depicts the loss of faith so powerfully, his expression at 2:19 stole my soul; it is truly heartbreaking! (at least, for me it does and is -- realising that the god who was always with me was never really there, and that I was and am utterly alone, after all...)
This comment expresses what I'm going through right now and how I feel.

"They use their waves to bind us, they use their screens to blind us".
Perhaps there has never been a more relevant time for a song like this -- a world living in utter fear of an idea, a lie.
Certainly, there has never been a more relevant time for a righteous saviour, this time of sick vigor, hopeful melancholy.
Alas! The world the grieving, hearts filled with emptiness, lamenting the timeless Absent Presence of the Sublime.
Peace and love, from Australia.
Only Seth's vocals would continue to get heavier and more brutal with each passing year, the man is a god rent in flesh.
После Belphegor прямо расслабился. Вообще конечно очень круто, когда группы снимают видео на топовые песни с альбома. Thank you, septicflesh!
The combination of symphonic sounds, a bit of mysticism and death metal, i fucking love it!! Greetings from Bulgaria!
οι μελωδίες σε όλο το αλμπουμ εκπληκτικές...χαιρομαι πραγματικά για κατι μουσικά διαμάντια σαν και σας...συγχαρητηρια..
absolutely amazing!!!
never seen such impressive music video (no offence to Behemoth)
atmosphere slightly reminds of late H.R.Giger.
awesome video with profound meaning! i'm deeply impressed.
huge respect from Russia!
I started listening to these guys a couple of years ago and I think they are one of the best metal bands overall. I had the pleasure to see them a few months ago in Portland and they were amazing.
This song marks my return to Metal \m/.
This is epic!!! Perfect music and album!!! My favorite band.
Staggering video and colossal song! Amazing work guys, as always!
Man what a album
Epic video, i want a full movie!
Love this song!
Muyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy buena banda
A quien le importa prro
All 4 songs so far are really well made once again and the magical Septic Flesh music apparently still remains glorious and really close to perfection.I believe that this completed them as an orchestral death metal band,since they really found a great balance between the two kinds of music,it shall be their opus magnum and blast them to the top of the metal charts of the year.Hail Septicflesh!!
Great to see bands are still putting together some absolute quality music videos. I've never been into Septicflesh's vocals but the music on this one is pretty great.
It's probably my favourite band now. Every song is just a dark souls boss fight, must feel sick to drum with a huge orchestra live
That ending is O.P !
I'm a fan since ophidian wheel, I saw them live two years ago, it's one of the best lives that I've seen in my entire life. Greetings from Morocco.
