The guys from mortician, Will rahmer the vocalist, and Roger beaujard, who plays the guitar and does the drum programming, are two amazing people as well as very important, in the death/grind genre, because they have been making music, for aslong as i've known...Well, its paying off.

As a huge fan of the guys from mortician, i have every single released item from the guys. Including,dvds,cds,t-shirts,&,hoodis, know all their lirycs and,have seen them on tour with exhumed which was a big honor because i also love exhumed's music as well.

Mortician's album "hufb" is another classic,in your face,brutal released album with one mean and dark sound to it. I think every one in metal should , have, atleast two or one album by mortician because their all amazing.Also make sure that you get a copy of "domain of death " and mortician's latest release item brand new official live release album under the title "zombie massacre live" its over 60 minutes long and has thirty seven tracks of pure live sonic terror. Buy or die!

All hail mortician!

Hey, death metal can be awkward, not everyone likes everthing in the genre. Mortician uses alot of sound effects and a drum machine to create their sound. I happen to like anything with screaming and growling, so I would recomend this album and any other Mortician album. The sound effects give Mortician a unique sound and feel. Not to mention that these guys put on a sick live performance.

you people make me sick. any person who gives this album anything below 4 stars doesn't feel the true power of metal. the drum machine is what makes mortician mortician, and there really isn't anything cheesy about it. this album is all about pure, creepy atmosphere (w/ a touch of cheez). the songs are a bit slow and basic at times, but in my opinion, simplicity always works better in metal than the bands that try WAY too hard. this is my personal favorite by mortician and it holds a very special place in my heart. it also reminds me of chinese food. "oooo!"

First of all, pay no attention to those "Mortician's not REAL metal, (insert band name here) is" claims. If you're looking for quality metal, with actual verses, choruses, hooks, melodies and such, you're looking in the wrong place. That's not the point of Mortician. Mortician doesn't exist to write great music, they don't exist to push the metal envelope, they don't exist to demonstrate their talent. Mortician does not write good music. What they do is create incredibly repetitive, but incredibly FUN, groovy death metal. Liken it to the many films they base their music on. Is Sleepaway Camp a good movie? Hell no. Is it fun? Hell yes it is. Such is it with Mortician. Their songs are all pretty much the same, they're all incredibly short and filled out by often hilarious horror movie soundbytes. Roger's guitar riffs are simple, simple, simple, and so down-tuned you can almost hear the strings flapping against the pickups. They're short and they're repetitive, but for the most part they're well-constructed, and they're BASSY. Add to that the fact that Will's vocals are the lowest, deepest, moistest death burbles in the business, and you've got some music that, while not mindblowing, is certainly catchy and endearing. You watch slasher movies to see people get killed in ridiculous ways, and you listen to Mortician to get silly, burbly, catchy, 45 second long death metal songs. And even if you don't like their music, their songs read as a great horror movie "to watch" list.

All that said, Hacked Up For Barbecue is Mortician's first full-length album, and their most catchy and consistent. I personally like their Zombie Apocalypse EP a little better, but HUFB is their "classic" album. If you're new to Mortician, this would be a good place to start.

Mortician is by far one of the most creepiest and demented and scariest bands ever---By vocals by sound and the vibe of it all.I have listing to hacked for barbecue alone while every light was shut and it gave me the chills...It realy one of the most scary things you can ever experience without a doubt!

Ok these guys can play heavy music, but yes the drum machine makes you kind of laugh. I listen to ALOT of heavy music and to me these guys do make some heavy tunes, but they really are not very talented. In fact I have several albums and recordings by Mortician, and every time I hear these guys I find myself sort of liking the music for how aggressive it sounds, but hating the the goofy drum machine and the silly repetitive subject to each song. OK if you like this stuff I can see why, but if you hate it I do understand that as well. This group is like dark beer, usually you either love it or hate it. I guess I'm sort of in the middle. But I have to say that after you listen to bands like Morbid Angel, and Cannibal Corpse you can clearly see that Mortician kinda...( Sorry die hard Mortician fans)

I guess I don't understand what these people see in Mortician. Every song on this album sounds just about the same, just with different introductions to the songs. The introductions are only decent thing on this cd, which you can get by renting the movies. And could they possibly tune the guitars any lower, it sounds horrible? The drum machine is very annoying. If you are looking for brutal death metal, check out Cryptopsy's None So Vile.

This album is very brutal and very inspired with some great lyrics and some great guitar riffs. If you have heard any other Mortician and you dont like it then you wont like this because Mortician never changes, they just crank out more brutal music over and over again. My only complaint with this album is they take a lot of their older songs and re-record them. I hate when bands do that! This is kind of cool though because now I can see what songs like "Necrocannibal" and "Brutally Mutilated" sound like with a drummer and with a drum machine. They have a drum machine on this album and they have a drummer on Mortal Massacre where a lot of the songs on this album were originally recorded. Still, I would recommend buying all the Mortician albums because they rule hard. People that insult this band because of their "lack of talent" dont know death metal very much. This is the most brutal band on planet earth and you better respect them!! MORTICIAN -I-

When I bought this album I couldn't wait to get home and shove it in the cd player. Talk about value for money - you get 28 tracks of pure Mortician. The samples they use on the album are insane and I can recite every single one. The songs grind Satan into the dust, man.

You're a fool if you don't snatch this release up.

Buy it or nick it, just listen to it.

If you enjoy watching Faces of Death over and over again while majoring in Psychology at the local community college, this is for you. This is truely disapointing to a true hard core gore fan. Only a shallow teen looking to scare thier parents would buy this, along with a lot of fake blood. This is a complete waste of money to a real gore hound. The film Traces of Death III, a cheap and bliantant rip-off from Faces of Death featured Mortician in their soundtrack. I recomend that if you are entering the scene, consider your true self and say,"Am I realy a poser?"
