And I see the blade fall down upon the head of lord in heaven
And Darkness falls upon the end of history
While I drink the milk of the Black Goddess and cry over the mankind
I think it's good that they are reissuing their earlier works. The mass seems to be focusing more on the last 2 albums, and I think they have really nice early albums that deserve some attention.

It is humanity who must pay homage to the greatness of the Universe... not the Universe to the human narcissism.
Looks alright to me. And I need to hear this bands earlier material, I do like Communion a lot.
Their first three albums are absolutely incredible, but don't expect anything like their recent work.
MPoD in particular is tied with TGM for my absolute favorite Septiflesh album. It's just wonderful melodic doom/death. This reissue is a long-awaited event, though the art is... lacking. I'm definitely excited about the fact that the Temple of the Lost Race EP is included with the proceeds. Already pre-ordered.

Music was my life, music brought me to life and music is how I will be remembered long after I leave this life. When I die there will be a final waltz in my head that only I can hear.
Oh dude... NOT COOL. That is just not fucking cool. I wanted to get their albums dammit! Now I'll have to hunt the original ones and that will be harder.
FUCK this artwork. Seriously.

I'm guessing that means no full-blown symphonies. And it's definitely a neat idea, the re-releases that is. Though it appears many are repulsed by that sort of cover art.
