“Epitaph marks a return to former strength for the classic electro-industrial act. All the contemporary Front Line Assembly trademarks are here: guitar bites, Leeb’s vocoded apocalyptic wisdoms, and solid electronic architectures that do not pander to dancefloors, but are still packed with a relentless energy. It shows that a well-re-established sound does not mean the sound cannot evolve. Beats have grown more complex, often breaking. A few tracks, such as the title track, “Epitaph,” or the epic “Existence,” have taken on more ethereal qualities. Some tracks, such as “Dead Planet,” are classic Front Line Assembly hard electro on a pounding beat.” - Theo Kavadias, AllMusic
