“This is a classic death metal masterpiece that deserves to be heard by more people. It’s great that this crusher is getting out there and having another chance to plague humanity again with its repulsive sound! HAIL THE MIGHTY CENOTAPH!”

“Buried and never forgotten, the debut album of Mexico´s CENOTAPH, is finally bring into glory for the new generations to succumb into the asphyxiating aura of darkness and death that the deepest emotions within mankind hinders…lurking in these deathblast of graven images, lies some of the deadliest death metal composition ever created in the land that celebrates the dead…the evoked doom is here…” – Julian Nuñez (Horrible Fanzine)
“Without a doubt, a lot a great Death Metal albums and demos came out from Mexico in the late 80’s-early 90’s. But when talking about groundbreaking releases. In my personal opinion, they were a few: TOXODETH “Phantasms” demo ’88, HARDWARE “Cyber Death” demo 1990, and CENOTAPH “The Gloomy Reflections of Our Hidden Sorrows” 1992″ – Tony Juarez (Reborn From Ashes ‘zine)
