Esoptron is the second full-length album by Septic Flesh, released in 1995. The actual title is ΕΣΟΠΤΡΟΝ or Έσοπτρον, the word in Greek for "(inner) mirror".
The album has been reissued in June 2013 by Season of Mist.[1]
This album is widely considered to be Septic Flesh's most experimental and progressive release. Also, it is the only Septic Flesh album not to feature guitarist/composer Christos Antoniou, as he took a leave of absence from the band during this period. Though someone named "Kostas" is credited as a session drummer, all drums were programmed.
