Ophidian Wheel is the third full-length album by the Greek death metal band Septic Flesh. In 2013, a reissue containing bonus tracks and new artwork was released through Season of Mist.
Musically, this album is much more straightforward than previous albums, fusing an aggressive death metal style with elements of gothic rock. Though someone named "Kostas" is credited for drums, all drums on this album were programmed.
