MORTIFICATION Leader Mixing Rerecorded "Classics" For 20th Anniversary CD
August 4, 2009, 15 years ago
MORTIFICATION leader Steve Rowe has checked in with the following update:
"I have had the opportunity this month to work with Warren Hammond at Penny Drop Studio mixing the re-recorded Mortification Classics for our upcoming 20th Anniversary CD Twenty Years In The Underground. The result is very pleasing. We referenced some more modern death metal like AMON AMARTH to find an up-to-date approach to our old school death metal songs, especially 'Nocturnal', 'Grind Planetarium' and 'Impulsation'. 'Hammer Of God' and 'The Majestic Infiltration Of Order (God Rulz)' have also been re-recorded. Initially I was hesitant to re-record what was not broken but the end result sounds killer! The early songs obviously lend themselves well to the the more brutal death metal vocal and production. I think the old school Mort fans will be stoked. But you will all need to wait until early next year. The 15 rare live tracks are yet to be added to the mix.The 20th Anniversary album will initially be available for pay download in early February next year, hopefully along with The Jesus Rock Band. December/January is make or break time for Rowe Productions. Not only with the two planned releases but it is also the time in which I have to pay very high fees to my Accountant. At this stage we do not even have the finances to pay for The Mortification 20th Anniversary mix. But I am hoping we can cover that soon and move on to the next process with these projects."
