Meshing thunderous applause and unrestrained howls with the ominous threads of classical music creates a clear picture of the enthusiasm for not just brutality, but for the full artistic scope of Septicflesh’s compositions. Hearing cacophonous cheers rise above the opening notes of a live symphony is enough to captivate any listener before Septicflesh even takes to the stage. Stunning production value ensures that the album shows a clear balance between the on-stage orchestrations, Septicflesh and their enthusiastic delivery, and the echoing fanfare ready to greet them so that listeners far in the future can tangibly grasp the magic of that night. Becoming engrossed in a live album is a product of the careful balance between the musicians and the crowd they are meant to entertain, but “Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX” takes this immersion to the next level. Filmed and recorded in February 2019 at a sold-out show in Mexico City, Septicflesh was joined onstage by a full symphony composed of more than one hundred musicians in addition to two local choirs. Septicflesh has both of those bases thoroughly covered in their upcoming live album “Infernus Sinfonica MMXIX,” but the genre veterans have upped the ante with an undeniably impressive cast of artists who help bring symphonic death metal to life with rarely captured grandeur. A live album’s potential for success is rooted in an enthusiastic audience and an even more enthusiastic band.
