MORTIFICATION leader Steve Rowe checks in with the following update:

"Well, the month has finally arrived!

The Live Humanitarian double DVD pack will be released by Nuclear Blast, Germany, on the 26th of this month (September). We should have copies in the Soundmass.com store here before the end of the month.

For those who truly support this mission, can I please make a suggestion. Buying a copy from roweproductions.com really helps the band and our work. However, now that we have one foot back in the door at Nuclear Blast, I am truly hoping they will resign the band.

Can I ask that our supporters also consider buying a copy from www.nuclearblast.de at their online store. We have 6 months to prove to NB that we are a viable band with a strong fan base. The more Live Humanitarian DVDs we sell, the better chance we have of NB signing our next studio album which will be recorded between November 2008 and March 2009.

Maybe you could buy a 2nd copy for a friend for Christmas?

I did say a couple of months back that the DVD would be a digipak, but it will actually be a standard DVD release. However, it has extended artwork, 2 DVDs and almost 3 hours of viewing and listening pleasure. The production manager at Nuclear Blast and I have worked hard together to get the art layout just right. The release will be in Region 0, so it will be viewable worldwide on any DVD player or computer.

Thank you once again to all the supporters who have sent donations to help keep this mission alive. Costs are high but the message Mort presents to the metal world is so very important. The Live Humanitarian DVD release is a real Good News evangelistic tool. I am still simply amazed that Nuclear Blast are releasing it. Any support can be sent via PayPal to info@roweproductions.com

We hope to see many of our Aussie supporters at the Ruby's Lounge concert on October 2nd at 8:30 PM and at Mainstage at the Black Stump Festival on October 4th at 8 PM. We will be pulling out some more old classics including 'Nocturnal' and 'Impulsation'.

Blessings, Steve Rowe."
