Welcome to March to all my fellow Priests Of The Underground! March is an exciting month as we head towards the 15th Mortification Studio release “Scribe Of The Pentateuch” in just 1 month! Yes, April 1st The CD will be available!
Also the entire 1st Mort show back in 3 years and 4 months will be up on YouTube! The 1st show back went well! We supported the mighty Pegazus at The Central Club here in the Melbourne central suburb of Richmond. A Great Metal Venue that has now become the Home Of Old School Melbourne Metal with Metal Gigs on most Fridays and Saturdays. We performed 5 new songs from “Scribe Of The Pentateuch” and 5 old songs – Brutal Warfare, The Destroyer Beholds, Hammer Of God, Scrolls Of The Megilloth and God Rulz!! More info next month. I am also hoping to have Full Studio Versions of both The Title Track and The Jaws Of Life up on YouTube by April 1st. Check YouTube Mortification2010’s Channel late this month!!
Also this month we officially welcome Sherri Ross as The Manager of Mortification and Wonrowe Vision. Sherri is now also The Official Rowe Productions Promoter. Any contact regarding Mortification, Wonrowe Vision and Rowe Productions should be sent to sherri@roweproductions.com
We also welcome The Best Christian Death Metal Band In The World Antidemon from Brazil to The Rowe Productions roster!!! Antidemon will Record their 4th release in 18 Years in May! Bassist/Vocalist Batista and his wife Julianna also Pastor Crash Church Brazil in Sao Paulo. Antidemon are a full time Missions Band and have toured extensively in Central, Latin and South America and also a large number of European Countries! It is exciting to be presenting their new Album Apocalisenow which is set for release June 30th!
Mark McCormack and myself are putting the final touches together on “Scribe Of The Pentateuch” and Scott Waters of Ultimatum who is putting together the CD Layout will have that completed by March 9th! The CD is a Delux release with a 12 page Poster Foldout Booklet!! Initially I will release both The Mort and Antidemon CDs on my label Rowe Productions and also chase European Licensing deals. When sales go well or we receive Licence deals in Europe I am hoping to have both releases on Vinyl Records by years end!! I may look into doing this myself if there is no decent offer on releasing Vinyl in Europe or The US.
All those who participated in the very successful Life Achievement Program and donated $50 or more will receive their signed copies of both “Scribe Of The Pentateuch” and the Wonrowe Vision Debut “Mission Invincible” in April! For those who donated over $100 your BONUS copy of The 2nd Wonrowe Vision release will come somtime next year. Thank You to all who participated!! We are Very Grateful for all of our supporters who help us keep on keeping on!!
The last 18 months has been difficult for Mort but now with Lincoln back in The Band and Andrew ON FIRE on The Drums, I think we have one of the strongest Mortification Line-ups ever! It is great to have the same members in both Mort and Wonrowe Vision as The 3 Of Us are really together on the same page Spiritually, Musically and In Line Vision for the future of our contribution to Evangelistic Christian Metal and Heavy Rock!

Good evening Steve,
I hope all is well your way these days. I was listening to Vengeance Rising music the last few months and love it and am hard of hearing so I was looking up the lyrics and stumbled apon the news that Roger Martinez left the Christian faith. He aparently is serving the devil. I have been praying for him. I was wondering if you have any contact with him at all or know how he is doing? By the way keep up the good fight with the Lord Jesus. Love you brother. May the Lord God richly bless you.
