Formation and debut album
Safer-Sephiroth, originally Sephiroth, were formed initially in 2001 by ex-Nascent members Brett Constantine and Carl Kelly. They teamed up with Alan Barer (ex-Nostrade) and formed Sephiroth. After discovering a Japanese metal band already claimed this name, the band took on Safer-Sephiroth, a manifestation of the antagonist Sephiroth. Safer-Sephiroth delivered their first demo in 2002, "One-Winged Angel", which featured "a melo death remix of the song from Final Fantasy VII", which was received well by critics and fans. By 2003 the band had a deal with Candelbra Records (Nuadhán, Mandragoria, Transgress), and recorded their debut album in 2003, Eidolon. They embarked on their first tour in support of fellow labelmates Transgress' album Alchemical.
