“Ophidian I is an Icelandic technical death metal ensemble founded in the Summer of 2010 in Reykjavík, Iceland. It features members of other Icelandic death metal groups such as Discord, Dysmorphic, Gruesome Glory and Beneath (recently signed to Unique Leader Records).

The initial idea was to create a clean sounding yet raw type of death metal inspired by new wave technical bands such as Obscura, Necrophagist, The Faceless, Odious Mortem and more.

The lyrical themes include eschatology (the study of ideas that are believed to be the final events in history, commonly referred to as the end of the world), the past and future of human history and the fate of the universe.

In January 2011 the first recording sessions began in Studio Sýrland, one of the biggest recording studios in Iceland, where drums and acoustic instruments were recorded. Guitar, bass and vocals were recorded with the help of Sigurður Árni from one of Iceland's finest black metal bands, Atrum. When all tracks had been laid down it was mixed and mastered by Jóhann Ingi Sigurðsson (Beneath) in Sweden.”
