Additional notes

The band founded in 1989 under the name Casket, but the band's name was later changed to Mortician after writing their first song, "Mortician".

Will Rahmer was Incantation's vocalist during the period John McEntee played in Mortician.

The band has an obsession with horror and sci-fi movies, which is where their main influences comes from lyric wise. In every album, they use stock sample footage from movies on about every track, in the vein of Impetigo.

Acerca do MORTICIAN

MORTICIAN

Founded in 1989 by Will Rahmer (bass/vocals) and Matt Sicher (drums) under the name of CASKET. The band named their first song Mortician and, soon after, decided to use the ominous title as their new band name. John McEntee of Incantation played guitar on the recording and remained a member of Mortician throughout most of 1990, at that time Will sang for INCANTATION. Their first demo was released on Seraphic Decay Records under the title, Brutally Mutilated.

In January 1991, Roger J. Beaujard joined Mortician, replacing McEntee as permanent guitarist. Mortician was then signed by Relapse Records and released the now legendary "Mortal Massacre 7" / CD-EP. Drummer Matt Sicher was relieved of his duties as drummer due to various personal problems and later died in an accident. In early 1992, MORTICIAN began to experiment with drum machines. Unable to find a replacement who could play at the unheard of speeds that the band favored, Will and Roger chose to take the bands percussion to its ultimate extreme by integrating the machines into their music. The band went through several line-up changes after they released Hacked Up for Barbecue in 1996. Sam Inzerra is now playing drums with Mortician. He was in the NY band DEADSPEAK and was a member of MORPHEUS DESCENDS.

"The members of MORTICIAN are like barbarians in a spaceship, lifting weights and loading guns with one arm while programming drum sequences and rewinding gore videos with the other...an unclean version of something faster and deeper than you can believe.” -CMJ New Music Monthly
