Melbourne-based Mortification (the denial of bodily and corporeal passions and wants through abstinence) is a white metal band lead by singer and bassist Steve Rowe. Rowe’s Light Force had opened for Stryper in Australia. The band is a heavy metal act praising Jesus, Jehovah and the like that early in its career was caught in the thrash and death metal trend and geared itself as such musically and through song titles like Butchered Mutilation.
The band’s style, as well as Christianity of Nuclear Blast owner Markus Staiger, garnered the trio an early deal with the German label. The two first albums sold well, but not enough for a label working with Dismember, Gorefest or Amorphis and Mortification continued on with the American Christian label, Intense Records. Nuclear Blast continued to licence the band’s albums however. Mortification toured USA in 1992 with former Vengeance Rising. The group was also touring Europe. Steve Rowe of Mortification acted as Metanoia’s producer upon signing to Rowe in 1995. Rowe was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1996. He recovered in 1998. The band has remained prolific issuing albums, videos, EPs annually, as well as changing personnel like there is no tomorrow. 1996 EP Noah Sat Down And Listened To The Mortification Live E.P. While Having A Coffee not only emphasizes the band’s love of folklore, but also shows a sense of humour. Deliverance guitarist George Ochoa ended up joining the band, as well producing the act. 2006 had the act tour South America with a white metal ensemble of Rob Rock and Narnia. Later albums were essentially demos issued independently through Rowe Productions. By this time the band had taken to attempting to get away from the 'death' or 'thrash'or 'white' metal labels by inventing the 'truth metal' tag. Rowe celebrated his fiftieth birthday in 2015. He was concentrating on Wonrowe Vision since 2010. In 2014, the man issued Metal Missionary The Steve Rowe Story formatted for Kindle. The man/band announced a new Mortification Album called Realm Of The Skelataur for 2015 as the final Mortification album.
An American Mortification also existed circa 1990. Wonrowe Vision is also a Rowe project borrowing from Mortification personnel. Jayson Sherlock’s 'unblack' metal project had its grim CD also released by Nuclear Blast.

Stuart Lancaster could be interviewed for the England head coach role next week after an encouraging Six Nations campaign.
The temporary boss has led England to second in the table and could even win the championship if they beat Ireland and France defeat leaders Wales with a sizeable points swing.
England, who welcome back David Strettle in place of Charlie Sharples, have been considering their next appointment since Martin Johnson left the role at the end of the 2011 Rugby World Cup.
The Guardian claims that support for Lancaster is growing within the game and an appointment could even be made within the next couple of weeks.
Lancaster has managed to gel together a young squad, which impressed in last weekend’s hard-fought 24-22 victory over France in Paris.
However, he still looks likely to face competition for the position from former Italy and South Africa coach Nick Mallett.
‘(Coaches) Graham Rowntree, Andy Farrell and myself firmly believe in this group of players and the direction we are going. Saturday is another step on that road and we are looking forward to coming home to a packed Twickenham with its special atmosphere and crowd. Their support has been phenomenal and we hope we can do the whole nation proud again,’ Lancaster said looking ahead to the Ireland match.
At the time, the Tories were in opposition and May was primarily known for her snazzy shoes. She favored leopard print.
The national newpapers used to go on about her shoes so much I began to wonder if they had some sort of fetish.
She put in the hours at the local fetes. She answered the phone. She talked and listened to her constituents.
And she bore our queries about shoes and her being voted one of the top 10 most fancied female MPs with good grace.
So, one summer, I drove over to May’s house in my blue second hand Vauxhall Corsa to talk hats, shoes and all that jazz.
We sat out on her patio and I quizzed her on vital topics such as fascinators vs hats for Ascot and the importance of a matching handbag.
It’s unfair to judge someone on a brief meeting more than a decade ago but, from what I remember, Mr May seemed quiet but self-assured.
Then, as now, some journalists still choose to focus more on what’s on her feet than what’s between her ears.
I don’t really see why anyone should – both are Tories, both are women, but that may or may not be where the similarities end.
Should we be comparing May and Thatcher simply because they both happen to be women? (Picture: Getty)
Yes, we’ve had Thatcher. Yes, nearly a third of our politicians are women. Women have come so far in so few years.
Women couldn’t vote. They couldn’t own property. We are still far from equal. We still aren’t paid the same as men for doing the same jobs.
The number of pictures of May’s shoes in comparison to the number of pictures of David Cameron’s, the way people slag off Angela Merkel for her looks instead of her policies, the way people are banging on about May’s husband in a way they never do about male politician’s wives is evidence we still have a way to go.
As for Theresa May herself, I can only tell you that the woman I met a decade ago was confident – cool-headed but kind, a fantastic speaker, organised, calm and capable.
If she takes running the country as seriously as she did her constituency we’ll have a better leader than Cameron.
I’m disappointed neither Labour nor the Lib Dems can muster a female leader but, who knows, maybe one day they will.
Alvaro Jimenez Gonzalez climbed up to try to get rid of the explicit footage, as he was worried it could cause an accident.
Drivers had been slowing down to stare and take pictures, creating hazardous conditions on the road.
But he slipped and fell to his death while trying to get rid of the film playing on a loop showing a woman using a sex toy between her legs.
‘All the support of our institution and of the government of Mexico will go to the family of our friend.’
The company who own the advertising board apologised to anyone who had seen the video in San Antonio, Mexico City, which they believed was shown due to hacking.
A spokesman for Carteleras.com, said: ‘We know the discomfort of this to passersby, drivers and society in general.
One motorist on the Periferico Sur motorway used his phone to record the giant advertisement panel as it displayed the porn in the middle of the day.
The authorities have asked owners of this kind of advertisement to improve their security measures in order to avoid a repeat of the porn hacking.
Chozodia was the main Chozo temple on the planet Zebes, and was likely used for many Chozo rituals and ceremonies. After the Zebesian Space Pirates attacked and forced the Chozo to abandon the planet, Chozodia was left in ruins and seemingly remained undisturbed by any sentient beings for some time.
When Samus Aran returned to the planet to destroy Mother Brain, Ridley landed the Space Pirate Mother Ship near Chozodia before leaving for his lair. Some time later, the Pirates connected their ship to the Chozo ruins with a glass bridge, and began excavating the temple as well as installing searchlights and floating-eye sensors to catch possible intruders. Samus was later forced to explore Chozodia after she was shot down by Space Pirates. The area also contains segments of the Wrecked Ship, though it is only during the events of Super Metroid in which Samus will be able to fully explore it; other than this, the rest of the area has only appeared in Metroid: Zero Mission.
Scattered throughout Chozodia are copious amounts of hieroglyphs, and carvings of Chozo (including one that attacks Samus) similar to the designs of the ancient Egyptian civilization on Earth. The Power Bomb upgrade was located in this area prior to its theft by a Space Pirate. The Chozo Statue holding the upgrade was very similar to Chac Mool, an ancient Mayan statue holding a plate on its hands.
A remix of the Super Metroid Wrecked Ship theme is heard near the beginning of Chozodia when Samus first enters the Space Pirate Mother Ship with only her Zero Suit. A different version of the same theme can also be heard in the same game during the underground sections of Crateria. Interestingly, neither of these themes play when Samus explores the Wrecked Ship itself present in Chozodia.
Chozodia has a destructible glass tube separating Samus from other areas of Zebes. Maridia on her second visit to Zebes would later have a similar tube.
At first sight, it would appear that the Space Pirate Mother Ship, becomes the Wrecked Ship. However, one theory suggests the Mothership becomes the region of Maridia, due to the unreachability before Super Metroid, and the striking similarities between the ship and the region (Examples: Botwoon's room has a Save Station before it, same as the Ridley Robot's. There's a broken pipe, referencing the pipe Samus can Power Bomb in Zero Mission).
Upon gaining the Fully Powered Suit, a fast-paced remix of the Brinstar theme is played. It is not in the Sound Test in the Extras menu.
