Blackened extreme metal with sludge tendencies. It's nothing that you haven't heard before, but that doesn't mean that it's not worth a listen.
Favorite track: Insignificant.

Really Incredible, rarely have I heard music where attributes like "crushing", "oppressive", but also "beautiful" and "fragile" go seemlessly hand in hand. I feel like this is bigger leap into progressive Territory than the previous, and it suits their style. Where "I" was already a very good Doom Death Album, this should put them on the map as unavoidable and essential in the broader Style of Progressive Death Metal.

"On occasion there are bands who offer promise... an unfettered guile, a disdain to established norms, an unbounded exuberance and liberated freedom that only comes with a debut recording. Seldom does that promise, that anticipation of something great, be realised in a follow up. However, it is a rare talent that not only meets a destined promise but far exceeds it. EPITAPHE are one such band.
EPITAPHE take the primordial funeral death foundations that were at the core of “I” and exquisitely hone and meld their unique sound and identity upon that. “II” is a beautiful work – an album that, firstly, needs to be consumed as a whole, to experience the full variation and journey therein. It is clearly more than just a collection of tracks.
This is a subtle and enigmatic journey, more progressive in its composition and craft, almost Floydian in its lighter atmospheric moments, yet never losing the notion that it is borne out of death metal. The composition, musicianship and tone are exceptional – all members attuned to the other creating a symbiosis and cohesion with the EPITAPHE sound.
As with the debut album, the sound design and mix of “II” has been in the hands of James Leonard at Plastic Lobster, creating a spacious and majestic sound, with the mastering undertaken by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios. Stunning cover art by Petri Ala-Manus.
Not only should this album be to many a highlight of 2022 – it’s an album which has the quality to withstand the test of time."

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
No other opening 4 minutes of an album goes harder than these ones - I think I passed out the first time I heard the doublechug. And despite setting the bar that incredibly high the rest does not disappoint. blodsdröm
