“OH YEAH, This really is mind numbing doom attack indeed. ARAPACIS have once again delivered the goods. This time they have taken 4 tracks from their back catalogue, tracks 1 and 3 from 'Consequences Of Dreams' track 2 from their debut album 'So Many Leapers' and track 4 from 'Netherworld', and given them a new lease of life with a heavy 'n' hard doom makeover. Does it work,'oh boy oh boy' does it work, yes it certainly does. This is a fucking heavy delight, a dreadnought of impending doom that ploughs a furrow through your system. Nothing fancy just brain crushing soul destroying DOOM that will leave you panting for more. The main core of the band is the duo of Shelle and Jerry while mainly using guest musicians for their last few albums , this EP and live shows, does not affect the growing ability of the band, they just keep getting better and better and deliver quality music. LOVE THEM. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...10/10”
The Metal Mag
“Déjà Doom is a mix of four reworked tracks with a doomy atmosphere. AraPacis blends metal styles with melodic and shredded vocals, cool guitar riffs, and influences ranging from Morgoth to Pink Floyd. The EP flows beautifully, with standout performances from Shelle, Jerry, and guest drummer Mathieu Roy. A 32-minute trip through heavy, melodic terrain—99/100.”

Metal Maidens
“AraPacis hasn’t suddenly become a black-souled, slow-paced doom metal outfit, but their music is heading in that direction. The EP’s four tracks span thirty minutes of authentic doom, with standout performances from Shelle and Jerry. From the fairy tale vocals of ‘The Green Fairy’ to the sorrowful climax of ‘End of the Line,’ this EP reaches the high level of bands like Candlemass and Coven. Highly recommended to all die-hard dark doomsters.”
