Mortification
Mortification is one of the more prolific Christian thrash/death
bands in existance.
Most of their work (particularly the earlier material) is
straight-on death metal, but at various times the band has taken
more of a traditional thrash approach (for example,
Primitive Rhythm Machine ), at other times a slower power/thrash
feel (notably on
Envision Evangeline ) and there have been slight
hardcore elements scattered throughout as well.
Founder Steve Rowe's much-publicized bout with cancer (diagnosed
in '96, treated in '97 while the band was on hold) appears to be
behind him, as the band continues to prosper in the Christian
metal world.
