August 3, 2004 Necrophagist released their second and final full-length studio album, Epitaph via Relapse Records. (Apple Music or Spotify)
Background:
Unlike on Onset of Putrefaction, guitarist and vocalist Muhammed Suiçmez recorded the album alongside a full band instead of recording it by himself. Guitarist Christian Münzner wrote half of the leads as well as several basslines on the album.
The track Only Ash Remains samples the melody of Montagues and Capulets by Sergei Prokofiev.
On February 10, 2006, it was announced that Christian MΓΌnzner had departed the band due to scheduling conflicts.
Later on, he joined the Death Metal band Obscura. Sami Raatikainen, from the band Codeon was his replacement.
Almost two years after the release of Epitaph, the band undertook an American tour called Carving North America's Epitaph.
Necrophagist were joined on this tour by Arsis, Alarum, Neuraxis, Ion Dissonance, Cattle Decapitation and Thine Eyes Bleed.
