Ok let's clear some stuff up. I've always felt Mortification's lyrics are cheesy, however this is my opinion. I feel no need to comment further on the lyrics, I just pretty much don't like them myself.
Music though...WOW! I love the way this guy solos on the guitar, the first song has the best solo on the whole cd! The guitars have a lot of grit and on some songs remind you a lot of grindcore. This is metal, if you don't like metal don't get it. Great cd I love the guitars. And Steve has the coolest sounding bass guitar I guess because he's the lead singer and the bassist, he makes sure the bass gets played more and heard more. He's definitely good though.
8/10

Garlic Press #4Reviewed by tedcoreThey've finally jumped the bandwagon. Mortification is now a self-proclaimed metalcore band. The album begins with an 8 part orchestral movement a la Believer and then the metalcore kicks in. This is quite a new sound for them and should be more marketable to the short hair kids. Their sound is more simplified with power chords and the vocals aren't death at all. In fact, they remind me of many…Similar sounding releases
