MORTIFICATION: 'Live Humanitarian' DVD Due This Month

Australian Christian metallers MORTIFICATION will release their new double DVD, "Live Humanitarian", on September 26 via Nuclear Blast Records. The band's mainman Steve Rowe comments: "I did say a couple of months back that the DVD would be a digipack, but it will actually be a standard DVD release. However, it has extended artwork, two DVDs and almost three 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."

MORTIFICATION recently announced plans to enter Penny Drop Studio to record a demo version of a new song, to be included on the group's forthcoming CD. Rowe says, "Penny Drop Studio is the old St Andrews Studio where we recorded 'Envision Evangelene' and 'Bloodworld'. The new songs are sounding very heavy with, once again, a fresh approach in the vein of 'Erasing The Goblin', but different! Yes, there is plenty of fast stuff but expect the unexpected. The next album will be a very sudden, out-of-the-blocks, in-your-face, aggressive thunder ball!"

MORTIFICATION's twelfth studio album, "Brain Cleaner" was released in 2004 through the Rowe Productions label. The follow-up to 2002's "Relentless" was described at the time as "the heaviest project the band has recorded in 10 years" and was said to be "a lot more of a death metal/grind-orientated album but with plenty of power and thrash metal mixed in to keep it interesting and multi-dimensional."
