With releases on label giants like Nuclear Blast and Metal Blade, albums like "Scrolls Of The Megilloth" and "Post Momentary Affliction" which are considered classics, world tours and a sound that is constantly being reinvented - having delved into death metal, grind, thrash, power metal, groove metal, classic metal and even a touch of punk - Mortification is a band that cannot be put in box.

Which leads us to 2013 and Mortification's 15th studio album "Scribe Of The Pentateuch", where the band continues experimenting with different sounds and styles. This is high energy thrash blended with the death metal Mortification is known for, along with a touch of doom, classic metal and NWOBHM.

Citing influences like Arch Enemy, Pestilence, early Helloween, Master and early Death , this quality album will not disappoint long-time fans of the band.

This is a 2013 re-issue of Mortification's new 2012 album, the Rowe Productions version having already sold out. The Soundmass version contains 8 bonus tracks recorded live at EasterFest 2013, along with a totally new cover and layout.

Steve Rowe and Mortification have released another slab of molten metallic mayhem that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ. This current offering is a six song affair entitled Scribe of the Pentateuch; the Pentateuch is the first five books of the Old Testament.

The tracks on Scribe of the Pentateuch by and large are a mix of death and thrash metal, with a few twinges of grind thrown in for good measure. Album opener Extradiefor is pure death/grind and really packs the punch. Lincoln Bowens guitar plows along with mounds of attack but it’s the thunderous bass of Steve Rowe that bowls you over and locks tightly with drummer Andrew Esnouf.

Naysayers beware this disc is the real deal.

One will be reminded of past glories on this release and rightfully so. Scribe of the Pentateuch is a full on metal assault that should more than rally the faithful, but break down more barriers and remind the world of the juggernaut that is Mortification. I don't give this endorsement lightly.
