Steve Rowe used to play bass in the Australian Classic Metal band Lightforce in the late eightes. Together with Lightforce Steve recorded two albums. When Lightforce broke up in 1989 Steve decided to take the band in a heavier direction, with more thrash influences. Steve now also began to handle the vocals as well as playing bass. Together with Jayson Sherlock on drums and Cameron Hall on guitars Steve recorded a demo called "Break The Curse" under the name Lightforce and shipped it around to many different labels. In 1994 Nuclear Blast rereleased it on CD. In the end of 1990 the band decided to change their name to Mortification to better suit the new sound and direction. In 1991 Mortification signed a record contract to the American christian label Intense Records which is a label under Frontline Records. This year they released their first selftitled album now with Michael Carlisle on guitars. In 1992 Mortification signed a distribution deal with the big German lable Nuclear Blast and released their second album "Scrolls Of The Megilloth" both on Intense Records and on Nuclear Blast. With "Scrolls Of The Megilloth" Mortification changed their style into a more Death and Grindcore oriented sound. In 1993 the band decided to develop their sound a little bit more and find their own style.

And Listen... 1996 |
If you want to recieve Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, and have your life changed... If you want to escape hell and enter heaven when you die... Pray this prayer: "Jesus I ask you to forgive my sins and set me free from the power of the devil. I want you from this moment to be Lord in my life, and I want you to take away the burdens of my heart. jesus, I believe that you are God's son, and that you died and rose from the dead as your word says. I believe that you once and for all totally defeated the devil. I ask you to recieve me as your child and to save me right now. Thank you Jesus."
