MORTIFICATION Mixing Audio For 'Live Humanitarian' DVD

February 5, 2007

Vocalist/bassist Steve Rowe from Australian Christian death metallers MORTIFICATION has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"It is summer-time over here and, besides being on vacation with my wife and son, I have been busy with Mick Jelinic mixing the audio for our upcoming DVD release 'Live Humanitarian'. Yes, you heard it here first! 'Live Humanitarian' will be out in the second half of this year. The audio sounds MASSIVE! It was recorded live at the deluxe but intimate Imax Theatre in Perth, Australia, late last year. It is a MORTIFICATION 17-year celebration featuring 24-track digital live recording and a seven-digital-camera shoot. It will be coming out in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. This is the first full-length MORTIFICATION show ever to be done this well. 'Live Planetarium' (1993) had only half the show on video (now re-issued and available on DVD) and the full show was only on the CD. We may be doing 'Live Humanitarian' on CD also. We are very excited about this release so stay posted. I will send the audio and bonus material over to Perth this week for the visual cut to be completed in the coming months. This is a huge undertaking but with seven cameras and Surround Sound, it will surpass any past official MORTIFICATION releases.

"I pray that you are all very healthy and praise God that this past Saturday was my 10th anniversary out of bone marrow transplant for leukaemia. 10 years and one month ago I was given a maximum of 10 years to live. I still struggle with health issues but we plan to do some more touring this year if all things go to plan. So it is great to be alive and still working with the music and message that is so strong in my heart. I will be around for many years to come making metal for Jesus. It will be great to arrive at 25 years MORTIFICATION in 2015."

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."
