Septic Flesh were a gothic-influenced death metal band from Athens, Greece with dark and macabre synth atmospherics very similar to famed countrymates Rotting Christ.

Formed in 1990, the line-up stayed fairly stable over the years except on albums The Ophidian Wheel (1997) and A Fallen Temple (1998), which featured a leading female vocalist, Natalie Rassoulis. Their music combined hyper-fast technical death metal, melodic death metal, gothic metal, and industrial metal, a concoction that made them one of the most acclaimed yet still relatively unknown bands in extreme metal.

After nearly 14 years as a band, the group split up in October 2003. Chris Antoniou continued involvement with Chaostar, which he formed in 1998, and Katsionis remained as guitarist for Nightfall and Firewind. TheDevilWorx formed a year after Septic Flesh's disbanding, and featured some members from the original line-up.

On February 19, 2007, Septic Flesh announced a reunion for Greece's Metal Healing Festival featuring Rotting Christ, Orphaned Land, Rage, and Aborted, set to take place July 20-22.[1]. Whether the group will make additional appearances or reunite entirely remains unknown.

On March 2007 Sotiris Vayenas revealed his plans for a new solo project called AENAOS. At this point a promo under the title "Man with no Shadow" containing 5 songs will be sent to labels as an introduction of this new musical entity.
