I remember Mortification from high school, when I really got into a lot of death metal. The first three albums, that also contained the original members, were alreay classics in my mind. After the release of "Live Planetarium" Jayson Sherlock left the band. After "Blood World" Michael Carlisle was gone as well. So this is the first release with Steve Rowe keeping the fire burning. And I must say that the song writing is pretty cool. Pretty much keeping in touch with the style that "Post Momentary Affliction" had started. George Ochoa, from Deliverance "fame" steps in taking over the guitar duties. And he does a great job, as he always has with any album he has been involved with. But the drums could have been stepped up a little. The beat is cheated constantly, and it just plainly leaves the overall sound as being very sloppy. This is my main complaint. It seems that the longer that Mortification kept going, the sound of their albums grew a little more boring. This isn't a bad offering, but I still prefer the first 4 albums. Great playing and a great raw sound.

If you've ever seen Steve Rowe (Mort's lead singer) in person, you would wonder how such a tiny guy can have such a huge voice. Oh well.

I've been a fan for years - even saw Light Force in concert, and I reckon this is one of their best albums. Mort start to develop their own unique sound.

Buy it if you dig music like Napalm Death. Sure, the lyrics may not please the Death-heads, but the musicianship is excellent

Primitive Rhythm Machine is where Mortification begins to change. After years of ten thousand pounds (or kilos is this case) of death, they took on a more thrashy feel. This album is very good. It features some of Lincoln and Keith's best work to date. The lyrics, as always, our set souly on spreading God's word. Buy it, feel the power and smile.

El Kabong gives it four head-bangs!

This CD is I think one of the best Mort CD's ever. If you're looking for really good thrash metal that is Christian or just a really good metal band, than this is the ultimate choice. I really loved this CD and I know you will. Pure brutality at its best. The ultimate thrash CD.
