Steve Rowe of the Australian Christian metallers
Mortification has issued the following update:
"I have completed all the pre-production for the new [
Mortification] album. This month I will be recording all the bass guitar tracks and doing the first proper run at the vocal parts. I will add to these in March when we record the body of the album. I have built a strong foundation for the recordings with
Warren Hammond, the engineer at
Penny Drop Studio where we are recording the new
Mort opus.
"For the first time in 18 years,
Mort is finally getting some attention in the Mediterranean. As already mentioned last month, I did an interview with
Kerrang! Spain that should be available this month. I also just completed an interview with
Rock Hard Italy. This is major media in these countries. The interviews have mainly been in relation to the
'Live Humanitarian' Dvd that is out now on
Nuclear Blast Records.
"Sales of the Dvd continue to be strong and it is getting some killer reviews!"

Mortification's twelfth studio album,
"Brain Cleaner", was released in 2004 through the
Rowe Productions label. 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."
