The 15th Mortification release is a 6 Song EP entitled "Scribe Of The Pentateuch". It is somewhat of a return to the early days with a lot of Deep & Brutal Death Metal Vocals, Ripping Rhythms & with Everything Louder Than Everything Else! The Bass Guitar & Drums being Right Up in The Mix with The Guitars & Vocals. Imagine a Mix of an early Death Metal Album with The Tone & Modern Production of a Manowar Album. If you have never heard Manowar then it is something new for you. Incorporated are some Modern Higher Vocals similar to the Band Immortal. The Band has never been into the black metal sound at all but fans of theScrolls Album will remember the Higher Vocals on that Opus. Some Traditional Heavy Metal influences can also be heard on a couple of the tracks. Especially in the song "In Garland Hall" that features Traditional Heavy Metal Vocals mixed in with the Deep Death Metal Vocals. As usual "Scribe Of The Pentateuch" sounds completely unique in comparison with the 14 previous releases with each of them being also Very Unique in their own Sound & Flavour. The plan is to release in January 2012 to celebrate 20 Years since the release of Scrolls Of The Megilloth. "Scribe Of The Pentateuch" also features The 5 Scrolls on The Album Cover. Scrolls Of The Megilloth covered 5 Books of The Old Testament- Song Of Songs, Ruth, Esther, Ecclesiastes & Lamentations. As a group when read at Jewish Feasts being titled the Books Of The Megilloth. Scribe Of The Pentateuch (The Song) covers The early books of The Old Testament written by Moses- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy & Numbers. Also as a group titled the Books Of The Pentateuch. Mortification will initially be out playing Live locally in early 2012. The New Lineup is- Steve Rowe- Vocals & Bass Guitar, Troy Dixon- Guitar & Andrew Esnouf- Drums.

any questions or concerns pls contact my promotional manager in the US~Sherri Ross
i would like to hear more death vocals. Steve's non-death vocals have always irritated me. i don't really get what he means by a "Manowar" production though. does that mean pompous & overblown?

Think he means "bass guitar heavy".

There was a reference to Motorhead, Immortal, and Manowar all within a few sentences. I'm confused.
yeah that's the thing with Morty's latter releases. it seemed like they were never quite sure what direction to take. never willing to commit fully to any.
Not much of a fan of them except the 1st 3 albums, then they went to the crapper to me. This new one better be good. There has always been something in this band I didn't like. If the vocals were good, the guitar sounded horrendous. When they fixed the guitar tone then the vocals and drumming was atrocious.
Steve looks like one of those cable tv preachers you'd see back in the 80's.
I had that thought occur to me too! ......And for $19.95 you can have this special edition Scrolls of the Megilloth super-sized vinyl edition if you become a prayer partner with the Priest of the Underground and send in your love gift, we're looking for the 300 members who want this special anointing in their lives!
