EPITAPH pay homage to their friend Mario “Vugan” Piemontese who recently passed away with the release of the video for “Sizigia” from their 2017 album “Claws”. The video was shot in 2017 by Mario Piemontese and, in memory of their dear friend, the band decided to complete the project by making the video thanks to the editing by Mattia Stancioiu.
Also in preparation for the CHURCH OF CROW DOOM FESTIVAL III EDITION that will be held in Pinerolo on May 2nd and 3rd, EPITAPH will be joined by FELIPE PLAZA as a singer. Below is the comment of the artist of Chilean origin, frontman of Procession and Capilla Ardiente among others: ”It’s no secret i am obsessed with the italian dark sound and the doom and mysterious gloom of both Black Hole and Epitaph, who i proudly call ”my old friends”. A friendship more than sealed with blood, sweat, backpain and loud riffs on the ”Pacto de Sangre” tour we did together back in 2017.
This is why, when Mauro called some days ago and told me they didn’t have a singer for the next (and most unique) ”Church of Crow ” festival in Pinerolo next May 3rd I couldnt’t believe it…after years of hard work and they just released one of the best doom metal albums in ages, not fair!
So it was a natural decision, ”lucky” as they are I happen to be in Italy that exact same weekend! let’s gather all you nameless demons around and let’s make the spirited walls of Chiesa San Giuseppe tremble on a once-in-a-lifetime dark sound experience…
In times when history is ignored, we should be grateful that we still have Epitaph: The Ghost of the Past!”
