MORTIFICATION leader Steve Rowe has checked in with the following update:

"Hello once again to all the Rowe Productions supporters worldwide. Firstly, another huge thank you to all the people who continue to pre-order the new Mortification album The Evil Addiction Destroying Machine. The layout and artwork look fabulous! This really is a high quality release all round. I hope you all enjoy this Mort album as much as I do when you hear it. I can for sure say this: the music production, cover artwork, layout and digi-pak CD are all top notch quality!

Please note that not all digi-paks are top level in quality. There are varying degrees of quality in digi-paks being released around the world. Actually, digi-pak is a trademark name just like band aid. But we all know there are plenty of lower grade band aids around that are not band aids at all. This is the first digi-pak that I have ever released and although it is being pressed by an Australian Company called Mad Pak, it is a true top notch level of thick cardboard with solid silicone CD tray in the True Quality of what is a digi-pak. Hope you all get the picture here. One of my main motos in life is this: 'Quality is not quality unless it is quality.' This CD release is top level value for your money. This Aussie company is called Mad Pak because you have to be Mad like me to pay the price for this level of CD packaging! HaHa! I just want you guys to get the best possible product for your dollar. I also wish to promote the survival of hard copy metal music releases.

Please keep the pre-orders coming as the CDs will be at Soundmass and ready to post in just three weeks time! I will notify you all in a special update right here the day that the new CD is at Soundmass and being posted to you. I have many costs to cover so if you can continue the pre-orders I would be eternally grateful. I am doing this fully Independently at this stage and so it is a big leap of faith! Thank You all once again for your tremendous support."
