Epic Down is a duo from Leipzig, Germany dedicated to the sluggish grooves and lumbering riffs of sludge & doom. Founded in the pandemic turmoil of the year 2021, when Mitzschi (guitar(s)/bass) and Fabian (drums/vocals) found themselves withdrawn into the depths of musical self-understanding, the common will to musically express the deeply felt horror of the excesses of the established abysses of a consumerist civilization with pronounced destructive traits and a reality marked by war, disease and destruction, and to preserve it as a defining sound of this so-called turn of the times.

Influenced by legends like Black Sabbath, Melvins, primal doom, drone and stoner acts like Sleep, Earth, Winter and Spirit Caravan, the sound of EpicDown is mainly characterized by solid downtempo grooves and rolling walls of guitars, complemented by storytelling vocals with noise elements and can be assigned to the Southern Sludge genre.
