	A Discourse of Mortification by Stephen Charnock
		Mortification must be universal; not one deed, but deeds, little and great, must fall under the edge, the brats must be dashed against the wall.
		A non-commission of a particular sin is not an evidence of the mortification of the root of it.
		But mortification is from a strength given, a new mettle put into the soul, both a courage and strength to resist it; there is a ‘strength in the inward man,’ Eph.

	BNR Metal Pages -- Mortification (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Mortification is one of the more prolific Christian thrash/death bands in existance.
		Most of their work (particularly the earlier material) is straight-on death metal, but at various times the band has taken more of a traditional thrash approach (for example, Primitive Rhythm Machine), at other times a slower power/thrash feel (notably on Envision Evangeline) and there have been slight hardcore elements scattered throughout as well.
		Founder Steve Rowe's much-publicized bout with cancer (diagnosed in '96, treated in '97 while the band was on hold) appears to be behind him, as the band continues to prosper in the Christian metal world.

	Pegazus biography @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The band only had a very small budget to work with, which was money they had scraped together and saved from all the live shows they had played and this small amount only allowed them to be able to record and mix eleven songs in a quick and rushed 6 and a half days.
		The band played around for a few months as a three piece with Johnny Stoj playing guitar and singing lead vocals, until one day the band received a call from a local singer called Danny Cecati, who said he had heard that the band might be looking for a new lead vocalist.
		The band had just got it's biggest break yet and it just seemed that Dave wasn't as committed as the rest of the band for what was ahead, with overseas touring and festival appearances now finally becoming a reality, after all the years of hard work and perserverance.

		The bands have styles that fit into all the main genres, such as speed, thrash, death, fl, and the only real difference are the lyrics.
		The reason for these bands beginning is to spread God’s word to the audience of young metal fans, and at the same time enjoy playing their music while expressing their ideas.
		Mortification then followed their previous success with Scrolls of the Megilloth in 1992, The same year Bride released an album with a Guns’n’Roses like style, and Veni Domine entered the scene with their slow, majestic, heavy metal sound containing a great deal of doom metal influences.

	Paramaecium: The Official Site (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I was the founder of Paramaecium and the band's modern history began in 1991 when we supported Roger Martinez and Mortification (then called Light Force) on an Australian tour.
		The album was released independently by the band but following great sales and excellent reviews, it was quickly picked up for US distribution by REX Music, a major Christian label at the time with access to the general market in the US, as well as Witchhunt Records in Switzerland for the European market.
		Jason De Ron had already decided to leave the band due to illness and his other interests, but in early 1996 just as the album and novel were about to be released, Chris and Jayson also decided to leave, Chris to pursue other interests and Jayson to forge a career as a multimedia designer.

		mortification sounded a bit slow on one song "sorrow" and kicked rear end the rest of the time.
		Oh well, this cd is pretty good and fans of the band will probably like it if they keep an open mind or for fans of thrash metal as this is what they have become.
		This conception is merely untrue, first of all, because Mortification is a death metal band that flerts with other sounds (like popular, but stupid american 'nu-metal'), but I dont believe that they've ever been a full blooded thrash metal band like Metalica.

		Many of today's Christian bands were inspired by this, some even using the song titles as a name for their band.
		Blood World is a disc for thrash fans and a must for Mortification fans but is probably not the disc to use to introduce the band to a new listener.
		However, the Mortification songs are all from "Blood World" and the Tourniquet songs all from "Vanishing Lessons." The Steve Rowe interview is taken from the "Live Planetarium" video.

		The band was formed by bassist/singer Steve Rowe back in 1990 and over the years would release some twenty albums and become innovators in the Christian Metal genre based on the different manner in which they delivered their music and the message behind it.
		Mortification instead chose a far darker and much more primal sound to their Metal style and as result was able to be considered the most Extreme Christian Metal band in music history.
		Having never really followed the band in the past I found this an interesting couple of hours to spend catching up and learning about them but when it was finished I realized that this is primarily something that is geared to the hard core fan more than the casual listener or newcomer.

	Mortification Review
		The band describes it’s music as "modern metal extremes." Songs like "Drain Dweller" are extremely heavy and bridge a gap between death and thrash, however, those who were expecting "Scrolls Part 2" will be dissapointed.
		First off is the clip for the epic 19-minute "Envision Evangelene", and although it is a quality piece of work, it does have it's cheesy moments (sorry guys), in which bad acting on the part of the "cast" is the culprit.
		Mortification are currently in the studio recording their new CD, "Hammer of God" at Steve Rowe's Hammer of God Studio in Australia.

		Mortification (1991), Scrolls Of The Megilloth (1992), Post Momentary Affliction (1993), Live Planetarium (1993), Break The Curse (1994), Blood World (1994), Primitive Rhythm Machine (1995), Envision Evangelene (1996), Noah Sat Down And Listened To The Mortification Live EP While Having A Coffee (1996), Live Without Fear (1996), Triumph Of Mercy (1998), Hammer Of God (1999)
		And we've got some really great ideas we're working on at this moment which combine older Mortification stuff with the new, The Silver Cord Is Severed, because Adam is very interested in the older music and can play it well while Keith (Bannister, previous Mortification drummer) struggled with a lot of it.
		So, bands were actively involved in building up Christians and preaching to the unconverted.

	CoC : Mortification : Interview
		Rowe explains that when Mortification formed, they signed to an album deal that enabled them to release an album every year, a good point in that it allowed the band to release frequently rather than once every three years.
		Mortification keeps on believing in themselves and where they are headed, and so do thousands of others.
		Faith or luck, somehow, Mortification seems to be on the cutting edge where most bands in the metal genre want to be.

		The follow-up to 2002's "Relentless" was described at the time as "the heaviest project the band has recorded in 10 years" and was said to be "a lot more of a death metal/grind-orientated album but with plenty of power and thrash metal mixed in to keep it interesting and multi-dimensional."

		So when chief Steve Rowe got asked tons of questions about his former band, and confronted with the fact that their 2 records were long out of print, he decided to release this 'Best of' thing.
		Mortification have of course released some more albums after the prior best-of, but the main reason behind this release, was to say goodbye to the fans, I guess.
		Mortification was supposed to be laid to rest at this point, and this was their farewell.

	Ten Thousand Statistically Grammar-Average Fake Band Names
		One idea was to pepper the list with "red herrings" in the form of fake bandnames-- and if someone chose one, we'd ignore their responses later on.
		This left us with a set of common band name grammars (popular ones were NNP NNP and NNP #.) We then fed terms from our already collected music text set ('Klepmit') through the grammars again (at the natural probabilities) to make some believable names.
		If you start a band with one of these and get famous, I only ask that you don't use "Caldera Catnip," as it is already taken.
