2014 release from the German Doom Metal band. Ophis was founded in Hamburg in late 2001, as an outlet for it's members very own darker sides: an abyssic immersion of slow monolithic Doom Metal and raw, nihilistic and staggering old school Death Metal. The band is musically rooted in the early '90s, yet are not a retro band, as they push their musical progress onward with every release. This tension grants Ophis their own niche in a scene dominated by trends, which the band always refused to follow. Lyrically, they are unusual for a Doom band observers of society, sometimes even with political undertones. But also personal lyrics dealing with the inner struggles of the members can be found.
