This started as an experiment to approach the guitar tones of Garry "Gaz" Jennings (ex-Cathedral), though I eventually decided these are best approximated by a dimed (and perhaps somewhat boosted) JCM800. But then it acquired riffs, drums, bass -- and, of course, rain, thunder, and tolling church bells. It needs some appropriately off-the-wall lyrics and probably either a psychedelically-tinged breakdown or galloping Sabbathy fast section (or both) carrying on from where the current demo ends. Have to think about it!

Wizard on the Mountain (Demo - November 2021)

Exploring the Chaotic and Absurd dimensions of Industrial landscapes.

„a style of Doom blending from destructive energy to a own creative dominance“

Epic Down is a duo from Leipzig, Germany dedicated to the sluggish grooves and lumbering riffs of sludge & doom, started in 2021 by Mitzschi (guitar(s)/bass) and Fabian (drums/vocals).
Influenced by primal doom, drone and stoner, the sound of Epic Down is mainly characterized by solid downtempo grooves and rolling walls of guitars, complemented by slightly melancholic vocals.

With the release of their first EP "Equinox Pt1" and it’s sequel "Equinox Pt2" in 2023, the band stepped into the light of publicity.
After signing to Argonauta Records the band was able to celebrate the release of „days of oblivion“ as their debut album in fall 2024.

Formed in 1971 ;) Carl grew up on a musical diet of folk, jazz, and classical music, before succumbing to the heady glories of rock-and/or-roll in a teenage daze. Thereafter, he played guitar and bass, wrote songs, and generally jammed out in various bands in the US and UK. 

Now based in Colombia, South America, the demands of fatherhood and family life may have, admittedly, slowed his output a bit, but have by no means dampened his enthusiasm as he continues mucking about with home-recording projects (thus being forced to add keyboards, drum programming, and -- gulp! -- vocals to his repertoire) while hoping that technology eventually makes online collaborations easier. :)
