Cenotaph "Saga Bélica (Mexico, Oz Productions, CD OZ 015)"

Seis años pasaron desde Epic rites, y por fin la alineación quedó estable con miembros viejos, no tan viejos y nuevos: Óscar Clorio, Fernando Garcilazo, Edgardo González, Samuel Ocádiz y Eduardo Guevara, y se pondría a trabajar en su último álbum, grabado en Alemania, titulado Saga bélica (aunque Fernando no participó en la grabación) que vio la luz en el 2002 bajo Oz Records. Este disco es todo lo que se podría esperar de Cenotaph: un death metal lleno de agresividad retomando elementos de sus dos últimos trabajos, tomando fuertes influencias de viejas bandas como Slayer o Destruction y un poco de su viejo estilo gore.

1. "Iron Peaks and Fists" 05:44
2. "Holocausto Riot" 03:39
3. "Everlasting Command" 03:38
