Septuagint

Septuagint is a Black Metal band from Athens formed in 2006.

SubX: Hello there! Getting started I would like you to tell me a few words about the creation of the band.
The group was originally created in the winter of 2006 by Co.de.x. and Virus under the name of Declaration: Holocaust, but due to several problems and unfortunately lack of interest we weren't active at all. We recorded a demo that was never released and after a lot of complications we decided to remain on hiatus. After 3 years of almost being disbanded we decide to regroup and create new material and start recording our both next and first at the same time step. In 2010 we recorded our first promotional material for the album that we are currently working on right now.

SubX: What are your main influences? What's the content of your lyrics?
Except musical influences like Deathspell Omega, Ved Buens Ende, we are being influenced visually and mentally by things such as religion, spiritualism and generally anything about inner philosophy. Our lyrics are mostly about religion, how to understand the idea behind the name of god, Satan etc. We are not promoting any religions ,we create our own path, without the satanic gibberish that is mostly promoted by black metal. we don't want anything that has to do with religious or any kind of submission to anyone or anything. Not to be misunderstood we are not supporting any churches and leaders of any kind(for those that think that we are some kind of Christian group).

SubX: Are you pleased by the feedback of your promo?
So far everything is going great, the promo has given to the audience the taste we needed to give and we want to believe that we have earned some friends for the band. we hope that this will go on.

SubX: The band was called “Declaration:Holocaust”. Is there any specific reason that made you to change your name?
Actually yes, we weren't always satisfied with our name because for us it meant something else and more personal than the actual meaning of the words. Declaration: Holocaust. We were often mistaken for an N.S. band even though we never were one, we never supported any politics. Anyway besides that we wanted to use something with more spiritual meaning and what would be more fitting than a religious word. Right now we are promoting our new name to clear the ground for the upcoming album.

SubX: Are you planning to release a full-length album soon?
As mentioned above we  are currently recording our full length album, and also we have an addition to the band (even though a session member),Lethe from Order of the Ebon Hand will sit behind the drum kit throughout the recording sessions. We hope the album will be released by the end of the year.

SubX: What thoughts or feelings do you want to express through your music?
We want to express the need of searching our inner selves, the need that everyone should have to become a better being. Also we want to show people that everyone is above any religion and doctrine, that everyone can live and evolve (or not) the way he/she chooses. We are the key to spiritual prosperity. We oppose anyone that submits to any kind of religion to prosper in any way whether this is Christianity, Satanism or paganism etc.

SubX: Is there any song that you'd really like to cover and why?
We don't have anything like that in mind, at least for now, maybe in the future.

SubX: Which are the expectations of Septuagint?
For you, I can't really know. the sure thing is to expect an album that will blast your ears out! For us, we are doing everything as we hoped and expected.

SubX: What are your plans for the near future?
For now to finish our album release it and then maybe a split or two. Who knows, right now we are focused in finishing the album the way we want it.

SubX: Thank you for your time.! The last words are yours.
Thank you too. Hail Sainteerie!!! Preach The Psalms Of The Impure!!!
