It was released as a stand-alone maxi single by Zoth Ommog in Europe, in LP and CD formats.

The single included two other songs, "Never Dare to Ask" and "Helpless", while the CD version featured an additional track, "Seclusion".

Side-Line magazine gave "Cenotaph" a positive review, writing that the band was beginning to solidify its own sound.

[2] Like many of the preceding X Marks the Pedwalk singles, the song Cenotaph does not appear on any of the standard full-length releases.

It does, however, make appearances on the compilations Four Fit and Experiences, as well as in part of the song "Mi_X Marks the Pedwalk" on Drawback.
