Mortification - legends! Ahead of their time.
Wow I toured with them and Vengeance Rising as their stage manager. My brother drummed for both of them. Love them so much. So down to earth guys from Australia.
Junior year of high school I was digging this. So glad you’ve heard it! Mortification is legendary!
And...THIS is why you are one of the best music reaction/reviewers on UA-cam. Keep feeding us these jams, bro.
Will do!
Steve Rowe is a legend! I listend all his work beginning with Lightforce. But Scrolls of the Megilloth is a Masterpiece....every song is awesome... especially the Voice with this distortion gives me even today goosebumps!
One of the first metal bands I got introduced to by my older brother (from another mother). R.I.P. Eric Gouge!❤❤❤🤟💪
Good call on Mort. Steve Rowe is the man. Australia's very own Death Metal machine. Now I like all of their albums, I prefer their first three albums the most. After Scrolls to me the band went off on to much of a tangent for me. Steve stopped his Death Metal growls to start more singing. Also feel the sound quality on the newer albums lacks depth. It's just not as full sounding. Over all this is a great band.
Steve hasn't done much since 2015's Realm of the Skelataur album due to his leukemia diagnoses and wanting to take time to heal.
The day I bought Scrolls I popped it in my tape player and was grinning ear to ear when Nocturnal started. Got to see them live twice. Unbelievable shows.
Dude, first time listener to the channel. Thank you for this unbiased review. I have loved mortification since I first heard of them in 1993. I got to see them for the first time in 1993 or 4, Jayson that drummer had already moved on, at the Texas Rock fest by Blanch Pall. It was an all Christian event. I saw them again around 1995 and you only original member was Steve Rowe. The album they were promoting was primitive rhythm machine. In my opinion it was more of a sepultura/tribal type record. The last time I ever got to see them was around 1998 or 9 they were promoting the album that contains the song visited by an Angel. This album came out after Steve Rowe's chemotherapy when the Christian world thought he was going to die. I did not like that record when I heard it on CD, but that's the record they were promoting and I heard them play it live and it made me rush back to listen to it because their live performance of it was exceptional and powerful. Steve Rowe was weak and had to sit through most of it because of chemotherapy treatment and weight loss but I guarantee you that is a testimony as to his talented bass playing abilities and also vocalizing.
Fantastic comment Bernard, I learned alot from that well done good sir!
I loved Morty oh yes!!! I saw them live 1993 at Cornerstone. Steve (vocals) is such a delight and so different from his voice it is staggering.
I was also at that Cornerstone show.
I can't tell you how many "looks" I have received when I mention my favorite Christian Death Metal group Mortification. This was a great example of their music. While I still love their later albums, they just weren't as heavy as this album ever again imho. I checked out many other bands which were supposed to be hard and heavy, but nothing ever reached the level of Scrolls.
Have you heard Oblation or Revulsed?
Imo they’re pretty brutal.
Que disco más exitoso y brutal,🇨🇷🎸
We toured New Zealand with them in 1996.Great guys. Steve was a really funny guy. Great time!
you mentioned Antidemon a brazilian christian death metal and grindcore band very respected in the christian scene and is very well known in latin america and europe
A cracking death metal album and a classic of the entire genre not just the Christian sub-division. Best thing Mortification ever put out.
My favorite metal album of all time.
There are a small population who will get this. But i was a 90s kid/teen raised in charismatic church. Those from this understand we weren't allowed to listen to secular music but only christian. So this band for those of us trapped was a god send.
Mortification
Vengeance rising
Deliverance
Living sacrifice
Crimson blood
I wore these artist out
The church hated Mortification. And Believer, Vengeance Rising etc. Christian bookstores refused to stock the albums, and the church often had sessions telling us young uns they were Satanic regardless of the lyrics.
90s were a different time. A lot of bands went broke and many walked from the Church entirely because of the failure of the ministers to understand the ideas behind them. "go into the world preaching the gospel" and "be all things to all men" not "sit in massive buildings hoarding wealth and antagonising outsiders for existing"... Churches... Need to read their own scriptures once in a while.
Anyway.
Amazing band live. Saw them many times, went to the album launches and a good time was had with some insane (albeit small) pits.
I'm not Christian or a Satanist, but listen to music from both sides and everything inbetween. Never understood the hostility on all sides. Good music is good music. And if it's "bad" music, well, someone else probably likes it so it's still good music.
Fantastic comment my friend well done!!
As a Christian I can only say: You're right. And that is exactly what robs Christianity of its credibility. We should convey confidence to the world. Instead, you see Christians arguing about interpretations. Christian rock musicians have always been decried as heretics who mislead people and lead them straight to hell. I personally experienced Steve Rowe. I live in Germany. My church at the time supported a Christian rock festival. Our community center was right next to a rock disco (yes, really). Steve picks people up where no one else gets lost. When you see his eyes, you see his Creator. Kindness personified.
I love that album. Discovered them in 1992. Terminate Damnation was the song I heard first and is still my favorite from them to this day.
I love this band.
Steve is a missionary in metal awesome stuff
Still listening to this album after all these years, sometimes daily - as fall asleep music.
"Live Planetarium" was perhaps the best album they ever recorded... BLACK SNAKE!
'Post Momentary Affliction' is my favourite album (first three albums are the only ones worth listening to plus the fourth which was a live album). Saw them in 1996 when they were past the era I liked.
N
Totally love the post momentary album! Also my favorite:). Bring back so many good memories!
@@Hakkotako gott to see them, on that tour. man was that a blessing. the original line up.
Have all their albums... And back in the 90s Australia was one of the big places where this metal was popular...
wuuuuaaaaoooooo!!!!!
vaya caña que le dan......me he despertado bien de la siestas....no los conocía....suenan muy bien.....gracias!!!!!
Parabéns Shane pôr trazer o que a de melhor do metal cristão! E o que dizer dessa obra perfeita, magnífica, incrível e sublime. Mortification é Á banda.....! Trabalhos memoráveis e incríveis! Topppppppp dos topppppppp...
I won a copy and was subsequently given another copy of the first album from a Christian radio station back in 1991 who certainly would never play that band. My favorite track is "Break the Curse"
My entire life leads up to the exact moment Shane does the Vengeance Rising - Before The Time music video.
I love the tube guitar tone… Also Jason Sherlock the drummer is a beast. Love this song And have listened to Mortification for years . Good job Shane
He went on to do Paramecium (Doom Metal) and Horde (Black Metal) quite prolific.
Their first 3 albums are killer, and the 4th is OK, but after that, it's all downhill for me. Their drummer here made an unblack metal masterpiece called HORDE, which I think was great.
I think the same, the first 4 albums are epic but after that...hummm...
He is also in the doom metal bad parmeciam..my spelling is off.
That's how the Christian Heavy Metal band Saint was for me. I loved their first 3 albums from the 1980's but when they came back in 1999 and also made more albums after 2000 they must have lost whatever special musical ability and singing they used to have. But Warriors of the Son, Time's End, and Too Late For Living were definitely some of the best Christian metal music of that time period. If they had stayed with what they were good at back then from 1984 to 1989 I have a hunch they would have become a super popular band going into the 1990's. Mortification is not my cup of tea personally. They do have talent though from what I heard when he was playing the song in the video. I've pretty much always leaned toward more ordinary heavy metal music when listening to Christian bands of this sort. Occasionally I don't mind some heavier stuff from Christian bands, but death metal has never appealed to me much.
@@brockmitchell3989 Saint, Heaven Fell...Is pretty good.
If you haven't already, you should give Mortification's albums "Brain Cleaner" and "Erasing the Goblin" a listen. Steve returned to death metal with those records. I think you might like them.
I was suscribe to you Channel, the videos review are amazing, thans for add christian Rock bands. Im from Guatemala 🤟🏾
1994 they played in The Netherlands. Utrecht! Really great show
First album of Mortification my fave.
I did sound for Mortification a few times during the early 90s and went to dinner after the shows can confirm no babies were eaten at all only Pizza
SACRIFICIUM - as you mentioned them here ... would be nice to see on your "first listen" series. Great death metal from germany ;)
My first death metal taste i was 15. Excellent musicians..30 yrs later that bass tone is brutal even for todays standard
Hi Shane!
For me Scrolls Of The Megilloth is THE album from Mortification, next comes their self titled debut album and the third one, Post Momentary Affliction.
I found your video by my friend who told me my band was mentioned - and so it was! Deuteronomium, that band with lovely, easy name. We're hailing from Finland and we've actually played with Mortification back in 1999 in The Netherlands and in Finland.
Manu, let's do some Deuteronomium! what song?
Hi Shane! That would be an honor! Is UA-cam ok or has the song be found at Spotify? I'm asking because our albums are not in Spotify atm. If UA-cam works for you, then I'd like to suggest the opening track of our album From The Midst Of The Battle, titled Fields Of War.
@@CorvusCandidus Its way easier for me to edit and informational if it's on a streaming service. Do you have any music videos? If you don't mind a suggestion I would see about making all of the stuff available streaming, you could have tons of new people checking you guys out everyday! let me know..
Hi Shane, can we continue this in private messages, email or something?
@Shane Diablo We used to have all our albums on streaming services, but the company handling them got bankrupted and the albums are still on their account even though not online anymore. We can't get them released again as long as they're on that other company's account. We've asked them to take 'em off there but nothing's happened, so we don't know what else we could do...
Big time fan of the first 2 albums.
Saw them years ago in the northwest Florida metropolis of Panama City, at Lynn Haven Mosley High School.
Your face man.. haha. says it all.
A great cd,saw them at CORNERSTONE FESTIVALS
Mi album preferido white metal fan saludos desde dorado puerto rico
The Silver Chord is Severed is also an album that wasn't listed
and the album that was missed was Envision Evangeline
mortification is Christ metal in the 90s i saw them live
I saw them at Cornerstone festival, twice.
I met Steve twice, and talked with him. A wonderful man. I encourage anyone to check out His testimony/story on UA-cam. Man is deep, been through alot. I like several songs ranging from several vocal styles, and albums, from this song to 40:31 which is probably even heavier than this, and Satan's doom, northern storm..etc.
Peace be with you all
Distarnished Priest is a great song.
post momentary affliction my fave cd by mortification and PRM
Mortification rules! They kinda lost me from the 2000’s on but the 90’s stuff is fantastic. My favorite album is Post momentary affliction. Never did get to see them live, unfortunately.
Great band seen them live view times best ever
I got to see Mortification at the Wherehouse in Bartlesville OK. Steve was a super nice guy to speak to and hang out with.
First 3 albums are absolute classics, seen them live in 1993 with the original lineup in Vancouver, Canada.
Mortification was one of the first Metal Bands I listened to.
I saw them live on the "Live Humanitarian Tour"
My favorite albums are "Relentless" and "Scrolls Of The Megilloth"
Awesome band !!!!!!! Favorite song !!!
Yes I've seen these guys live and they were great to see play and to meet I have the lead singer sign a deliverance t-shirt it was at a high school Mosely high School to be exact in Panama City Florida
The Destroyer Beholds was the first ever death metal song I heard sometime in '92. The first one, this album and the following are the bangers, but I like a number afterwards.
a song about the dead sea scrolls. gotta love it.
also off the Mortification-Envision Evangeline album check out the song Northern Storm
I have seen them in concert i have got a lot of there albums i got all there autographs they rock love the primitive rhythm machine album and they are very cool popple
Not sure how to get ahold of you, but weve been wanting you to review our new album!
I love that album, but I would say the song OVERSEER of the album Post momentary affliction is my favourite
My favorite album and song by them
There a great band 😀😀
Megilloth are five books of the Ketuvim, or Writings, part of the Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible, known by Christians as the Old Testament.
🤘 👍
It’s a masterpiece
Good stuff
Mortification is a good band!
I saw death angel live in the 80s fenders ballroom Long Beach California I think they played with Exodus and there was a bunch of other
This album slaps
Love this album ❤
I've been a Christian my whole life ❤
Thank you Jesus ❤
Give these Mortification tunes a listen-
Metal Crusade, Lock Up The Night, Liberal Mediocrity.
Here’s a few other bands to check out- Tourniquet, X-Sinner, Balance of Power, Narnia, Bride, Xalt, Whitecross( I know you’ve done some Whitecross but you haven’t heard the best of Rex Carroll), Rob Rock, Jesus Freaks.
I like vocals you can understand
Brainchild... Force 3, Seventh Angel, Mad World ....
I’d like to see you do something by Zao, liberate ex infaris.
Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest.
@@RobertWillington both great albums.
Hi Shane! If you're still interested in making a Deuteronomium song, I found out that the two of our latest songs still are in the Spotify. So I'd suggest the title track from our latest album The Amen.
Cheers, man!
Manu gonna do it for you my friend! The Amen! Gonna be a week or two but we will do it for you!🤘🤘
And I meant to say two of our latest ALBUMS are still in Spotify... 😁
@@ShaneDiablo looking forward to it! 😎
thats right ...
The best mortification I like it this song
They went on tour with bladerunner bands in Germany and were getting death threats .I been a fan for years the singer is the real deal and they a good live
Review Crimson Thorn- Purification CD Christian death metal however this album is Unblackened death thrash. Very powerful
I am glad that there is something out there for lovers of this genre and who are also Christians, BUT....this would be a polite pass for me. My family roots are in the Bible belt and I was born a Christian but this music/vocal style is a little much for me. I will still give Jams for Jesus horns up, though....we all know He's a rocker!! 🤘
shane also check out christian thrahers Ultimatum song is One For All
will do coming up in the near future!
For sure Ultimatum is another one give Never a listen.
impending doom is the hardest christian metal band hmm there are so many now
Broken Flesh is even more brutal
@@d1sk-cord531 yeah broken flesh they are Christ death metal they are awesome band
Metanoia and crimson thorn
So what's your favourite Christian metal band,?
Have you ever heard the two songs by Saint the Christian Metal band from the mid 1980's called Phantom of the Galaxy/Steel Killer. They're album with these songs is called Time's End. The whole album was really good back then when I first heard it. Vocally the lead singer in Saint from back then reminds me a lot of Judas Priest and their lead singer. Saint's best albums were Time's End and Too Late For Living. Their first album called Warriors of the Son has some good tracts on it as well. Sadly the band they are now sounds nothing like they did back then. Truthfully I think with their post 2000 albums they were geared more toward Death Metal and their new lead singer is not that great in my opinion. If you have time just look up the two albums Time's End and Too Late For Living on UA-cam. Make sure you check out the full albums when searching for them on UA-cam. They tend to have the better recordings of their music. I think my favorite songs by Saint would have to be Island Prisoner, Time's End, Primed and Ready, Phantom of the Galaxy/Steel Killer, Too Late For Living, Star Pilot, Accuser, On The Street, The War Is Over. Their first two albums, Warriors of the Son and Time's End were pretty much Heavy Metal with grit and their 3rd album Too Late For Living was geared toward being more radio friendly. Truthfully out of all the Christian Metal bands I've heard over the years, Saint back then out rocked them all musically and vocally. Back then Saint was the best sounding Christian Metal band ever for the time in which they became a band. It's a shame they went a different direction musically with their come back album in 1999 and the rest of their albums after 2000. I hate how they sound now vocally and musically. They should have stayed with what they were good at back in the 1980's. But seriously if you check out Saint's, Time's End album and Too Late For Living album, I'm pretty sure you will be pleasnatly surprised with those two albums. If I recall correctly Time's End came out in 1987 and Too Late For Living came out in 1989. I also think you'd like their album cover art as well. Time's End has artwork depicting what I assume is supposed to be a reference to the beast of Revelation in chapter 13. It rocks from the first song to the last. Pretty much the same for Too Late For Living as well. Any way, if you want to, check those albums out and let us know what you think of them. Another Christian metal band to check out from around this same time frame as Saint in the 1980's would be X Sinner and their albums Get It and Fire It Up. You may already be familiar with them, but just in case I thought I would suggest them for a future video as well. Thank you for your time sir.
Saint were great and one of the best Christian metal bands ever able to hold their own in the overall sphere. Classic U.S. power sound and very Priest influenced as you rightly affirm.
X-Sinner were o.k. but nowhere on the same level as Saint. Barely known outside of the Christian side and from what I recall very AC/DC sounding with the odd nod to Def Leppard.

What about...
Inflamed - Mortification
Killer for a three piece band.
You should go for antestor
Cover ur eyes kran
Think u missed blood world
Try death requrem and terminate damnation
I think you should pronounce Deuteronomium kinda like: "Dev-tro-nomium". That's how I say it anyway, I guess.
Sire, I could have used your advice a few days ago.. as this sunday I am doing Dead Man Dancing by Deuteronomium haha and I def didn't say it the way you have it here! 🤘🤘
@@ShaneDiablo I appreciate what you do anyway! I've been into Christian Metal since childhood.
I wish you would be more explicit about your personal feelings about the tracks you react to. I want to hear what you think.

Listener of The Bizarre: The intro is a bit much but the rest of the track is sick. Who cares if it they use Christian themes if it sounds good? 💀🎧
Not a huge fan of this style of metal. I do have a couple of their albums (including this one) in my digital library.
I grew up with this band. But even though their lyrics are strongly Christian the music is not its very anti Christian. I stopped listen to them after I had visitation of evil spirits in my home. They came while listening to their first album that is very brutal with songs such as Satans Doom, Bathed in Blood and until the end...
Interesting. I also "grew up" on this band and have never felt anything like that while listening to their music. On the contarary I have always felt uplifted in my faith. Since you mention "Until the end" I would like to cite the lyrics that I assume you know. They make me set my mind to Christ. I also think Steve Rowe is one of the most outspoken christian artists, he has always written lyrics with a clear christian message. I do know though, that Roger Martinez (from Vengeance Rising) which later became a satanist where the producer of the album, and that Steve (if I don't remember wrong) at some point said that he thinks that Roger never actually where a christian, since Steve never felt that Roger had the joy of the lord in him.
As I await my time
I assume the responsibility
With my heart in Christ
His direction is revealed to me
He gives me eyes to see
Real life reality
Living day by day
Along His chosen way
I used to follow idols
Things upon the earth
They added up to my selfishness
I learned that Christ must be first
Spiritual maturity is what we require
Eternity proceeds our death resist the rebels desire
You need to make a stand
Get on your knees and pray
Turn from your selfish past
Put your pride away
Seek God with all your heart
Listen to his voice
Satan has denied the truth
You must make a choice
To take your life away from Christ
What's it really worth
To exit from eternal life
And die upon the earth

@@DrpepperSWE Its not about saying the right things even if we should do that also.
Jesus never shouted Mathew 12:19
And according to Ephesians 4:31 shouting is evil. Thats why I said the music is not Christian. .And I can point to lots of other things that all has to do with Christian virtues And characters.

Living Sacrifice is the heaviest Christian metal band out there , mortification does not come close to Living Sacrifice.
