CUSTOMER REVIEW
In Australia, something dark and sinister was stirring. Out of the ashes of the classic metal band, Lightforce came Mortification. In 1990 they were a raw thrash metal band, but they would go on to unleashed the first christian death metal album, the self-titled `Mortification' in 1991. It was far more brutal than any other christian releases at the time. They signed a deal with Nuclear Blast Records who specialised in death metal and released their 1992 follow-up `Scrolls Of The Megilloth' which was a masterpiece of fast death metal with some doom influences. It was a mark of a great band that they were highly regarded in the whole of death metal scene at that time and `Scrolls' is still considered to belong to the elite albums of that scene.
The band was composed of Steve Rowe (bass & vocals), Cameron Hall (guitar) and Jayson Sherlock (drums). After the success of `Scrolls', Nuclear Blast decided to re-release `Break The Curse'in 1994 as Mortification were gaining in popularity. It was to also be re-released in 2001 by Rowe Productions.
