 Mortification mainman Steve Rowe has checked in with an update with the band preparing for the release of their upcoming double dvd 'Live Humanitarian' via Nuclear Blast Records, and confirming that the band will be recording a new demo track "very soon".
He said "Wow! This year is going fast! Seems like yesterday I was touring
Europe with the band and that was ten months ago! All things are in
preparation for the worldwide release of the "Live Humanitarian" double
DVD set through Nuclear Blast Records. This project has turned out to
be a real blessing. A bunch of guys over in Perth, Western Australia,
put this package together for next to no charge. Considering this DVD
production has a value of $50,000, it is amazing just how God's people
worldwide help to keep this Mort mission alive
Due to this being done for us as a mission, I was able to present it to
Nuclear Blast at no charge. So let us believe that the images and words
presented will impact people's lives and sell well for the mighty NB!
There is no way I could have presented such a great production to NB
without the tireless work of Steve Mullen and all his team at Metal
Mission Australia. Eternal gratefulness to all involved!
We have some new photos in the Photos gallery and one here
featuring Mick and myself with Dave Kilgallon our new drummer. It is
great to have a young man in the band again. Dave was just 7 when Mort
started! We also have the poster for our Melbourne show here for you
all to see. We are opening the night for Melbourne metal legends MEDUSA
and a new band called Luthor. We are catching an early flight to Sydney
on Friday October 3rd for our Mainstage appearance at the Black Stump
festival on Saturday October 4th. We are on stage in Melbourne at
8:30pm and at Black Stump at 8:00pm.
For all those coming to the Melbourne show at Ruby's Lounge, please
be early because we have some great give-aways including one copy of
the Live Humanitarian DVD. I am hoping Nuclear Blast will have copies
of the DVD to me by late September. I will also be giving away one copy
of the DVD at Black Stump and two Live Humanitarian CDs will also be
given away at both shows.
We will be recording a demo of a new song very soon at Penny Drop
Studio, where we plan to record the new album next year. Penny Drop
Studio is the old St Andrews Studio where we recorded EnVision
EvAngelene and Bloodworld. The new songs are sounding very heavy with,
once again, a fresh approach in the vein of Erasing The Goblin, but
different! Ha, ha! Re-invention is the master of all art! Yes, there is
plenty of fast stuff but expect the unexpected. The next album will be
a very sudden, out of the blocks, in your face, aggressive thunder
ball! We are not letting out album or song titles until next year.
Thank you once again to all the amazing people who have helped
support this mission this past month. I see Mortification as a dying
breed of metal, with most Christians in bands opting to have little or
no message anymore. This is something that I find discouraging. That
said, I do understand that tolerance for the Christian message is
lessening and, thus, bands are simply singing about other stuff.
Anyway, if you are on my wave-length and want to see the message
continuing to go out through channels like Nuclear Blast Records, you
can support through PayPal. Simply donate to
