As part of the Coolhead Live concert series, a night steeped in darkness and atmosphere unfolded with Septicflesh as the commanding centerpiece. Their symphonic extremity filled the air with weight and grandeur under the golden light of a setting summer sun, balancing brutality and elegance in a way few bands can manage live.

With Afsky and Vermilia setting the tone from different ends of the black metal spectrum, the evening traced a compelling arc from raw, emotive intensity to ritualistic depth, making this Coolhead Live night one that lingered well beyond the final notes.
