The early days...
Mortician was founded by Will Rahmer (bass/vocals) and Matt Sicher (drums) under the name of Casket. They wrote their first song called Mortician and decided to change the band's name to that. A rehearsal tape was recorded in December 1989 for promotional purposes. In February 1990 the same songs were recorded for our first demo which John McEntee of Incantation played guitar for. John remained a member of Mortician throughout most of 1990 which coinsided with Will's singing in Incantation. This demo went on to be pressed up by Seraphic Decay Records (dick!) and was Brutally Mutilated.
Temporary becomes permanent...
In January 1991 Roger J. Beaujard joined Mortician as a permanent guitarist. After getting great responses at several shows all around the North East US, Relapse Records contacted us to record a 7" EP. This later went on to become the Mortal Massacre 7" and CD EP. Mortician continued to play various shows and festivals and were getting prepared to record thier first full-length CD. At this point in the band's history, we made a critical decision. We had to let Matt Sicher go as drummer due to his excessive harsh drug use and lack of commitment.
Enter Drum Machine...
In early '92, because of the lack of a drummer, Will and Roger began to experiment with drum machines. We recorded several private tapes for our own benefit just to get an idea of what sound we were going to go for. We had about 15 rehearsal tracks recorded for a full-length project which was sent to Relapse. 3 of those tracks were taken from that recording and put on Corporate Death Compilation CD which was released in 1993.
Failed attempts...
After the compilation came out, we spent most of our available time trying out drummers, which never really worked out. We only played a few local shows in our area with various stand-in drummers. These were the dark years when all hope was lost and the end seemed near. Individually Will & Roger experienced many personal ordeals such as jail, fights, work, financial problems and life's general bullshit. So needless to say not much was accomplished until summer of 1994. By this time most people thought we had broken up, but the band was just on hold. Shortly after this break period ended, Relapse contacted us to record a song for the "Death is Just the Beginning III" compilation. The song, "Blown to Pieces", was recorded in August of 1994 with the aid of a drum machine. At this point we decided to continue using the drum machine as far as recording was concerned.
A classic born in one night...
Relapse then approached us about another 7" to let fans know we were back in action. In September of 1994, we recorded 5 songs which resulted in the "House by the Cemetery" 7". "House" was released in early 1995 and received a great response. This led to Relapse asking us to record bonus tracks for a CD EP release. Before the recording of the bonus tracks we were asked to record the title track for the home video "Traces of Death III". This track is completely exclusive to the video and its soundtrack, it is available nowhere else. In July 1995 the bonus tracks were completed which included covers of "Scum" by Napalm Death and "Procreation of the Wicked" by Celtic Frost. The rest of 1995 was spent playing various NYC shows with stand-in guitarists and Roger playing drums.
The first full length...
In January 1996, the "House by the Cemetery" CD was released. This marked the beginning of a new era for Mortician as far as coming across as a serious project. During this time we recorded many rehearsal tapes for private evaluation in preparation for our full-length CD. At this time we signed our contract with Relapse for this recording. Around April 1996 Will & Roger began preparation of songs to be recorded for the CD. Desmond Tolhurst, a bass player from one of Roger's other projects, Malignancy, offered to assist in the production and contribute equipment to the recording of this CD. We readily accepted his offer, and were looking forward to recording the project digitally. The only thing missing from "House" was the frequency response found in digital recordings. We recorded and mixed the CD in July 1996 and were very please to say the least with the outcome. This CD features 16 songs dating as far back as 1990 to 1996 that were never released before and 8 songs rerecorded, 3 from the 1st demo, 1 from Mortal Massacre EP and 4 Compilation tracks.
The first tour...
Mortician went on its first tour with Incantation and Anal Cunt from October 1996 to mid November from Texas up through the mid west and finished up in eastern Pennsylvania. Nine shows were played all together and the response was excellent. At this time Roger was unable to leave the country due to a legal matter and did not make the tour. At this time Relapse released "Hacked up for Barbecue" for mail order. At the end of the year we started recording rehearsal tapes of brand new songs for our next release which will be completed by October 1997. You can expect even more of the Mortician brutality on this future release of 20+ songs!
Mortician records for New Line Cinema...
At the very beginning of 1997 we recorded a track titled "Skin Peeler" for the New Line Cinema release "Gummo" which should be out in the summer of 1997. The movie is a continuation of the themes set in the film "Kids".
Hacking up the stores...
January 28th, 1997 saw the release of "Hacked up for Barbecue" worldwide in stores. So far response has been great and we look forward to a brutal 1997!
The rest is history...
That's how Mortician was born and became one of the most brutal bands in the underground gore-grind metal scene! As always STAY FUCKING BRUTAL!!!!

Lucifer’s – The State Of The
Infernal Region Address
Lucifer’s – The State Of The Infernal Region
Address
By: Mark R. Sosa
Death's Door @ www.death777.com
Copyright 2003
“My vision of HELL”
Apocalyptic Architecture - “Gargantuan
Electric Human Meat Grinder”
“In The Round” apocalyptic amphitheater
Of blasphemous maniacal vocalizations
Chain sawed adolescent skulls outline
supremely
This unimaginable architecture for the chosen
nocturnal deity
The center stage holocaust exhibition
A gargantuan electric human meat grinder
The master regurgitating floor insulator
That thrusts those carcasses who’ve taken
freely
The Revelation’s mark of the beast
As chosen black sheep of Christianity
Experiencing maliciously their timely demise
Beheaded, shredded, and then desecrated
Surpassing the end of time
The North – “Salivating Demon Possessed Pit
Bulls”
To the north a see-through glass room
Exhibits those guardians who’ve cast away
their offspring
Lying defenseless on the cold floor of
unpredictability
Salivating demon-possessed pit bulls are
unleashed
Clinching on each of their ankles and wrists
to secure immobility
Then a conveyor belt discharges piece by
piece
Abortion remains to revive in their hollowed
minds
All the valueless scars they’ve so selfishly
left behind
The South – “Chopping Blocks of Maximum
Amputation”
To the south pornography’s sexual
persecution
Atop chopping blocks of maximum amputation
The hole, the opening tip of manhood’s overly
extended virility
Shall be held fastened and then high torque
drilled
Using one bit with ferocious rupturing
abilities
Next the vaginal cavity shall be separated
By contaminated extra thick, metal fishing
hooks
Used as instruments of death and brutality
Then a hand-held steel grater with razor
sharp teeth
Is inserted and then removed in an
accelerated fashion
To inescapably disfigure the womanhood’s
excitability
Internal human flesh fastens itself
Like 10 year dried-up corpses in a war torn
mortuary
The East – “The Quicksand Landfill of
Cannibal Fishes - Piranhas”
To the east the ever-present creeping
quicksand landfill
Full of schools of merciless cannibal fishes,
the piranha
Dissecting on contact the submerged fleshly
appendages
Of all present-day invokers who adhere
To the black arts of incantation
Reverted spells once to intentionally
puncture another’s soul
Now presents in flawless animation
Their own Hell daunting damnation
The West – “Gasoline and Anal Blowtorches”
Slayer’s “God Hates Us All” plays unceasingly
to the west
Directly outside the spiritually famished
concentration camps
Where all partake of one big swig of gasoline
To secrete the inner linings of their naked,
blood soaked flesh
Onto the highly flammable showers where when
done soaking
Anal blowtorches detonate upon impact
Some in line from close quarter apprehension
Gulp their own dry mouth tongues
For a quicker suicidal solution
Marilyn Manson – “Anti-Christ Superstar
Prelude”
Blackest greetings from me the Antichrist
Superstar
Live from carnalities capital – Hell
Tonight we unite as beastly brethren
Baptized in the blood of iniquity
To marvel at the live “in the round” martyred
souls
Persuaded by the phantoms of their fiery
furnace illusions and
To hear in its entirety
Lucifer’s State Of The Infernal Region
Address
The Angel of Death – “Opening Act”
A human body casket shaped sandbox
Where all victorious sexual predators
Are chained by their waist cavity above
ground
To the coffins of their prey underground
The Angel of Death arrives in a black hooded
trench coat
His pupils of dried blood are in the
formation of a sinister smile
Sent to strategically insert mini-chisels
under both
The fingernails and toenails of these
statutory rapists
Then uninterrupted “finishing hammer” flesh
breakage begins
Smashing until agony wailing echoes through
The rejoicing ears of the innocent dirt
nappers
Then the Angel of Death exposes his skeletal
vacantness
To this now valueless impaired misfit
The “fierce snake” is then vomited forth
From his bellybutton region
Immediately injecting in the jugular vein
The world’s most toxic venom
Sexless misfit now extinct
Lucifer – “The State Of Infernal Region
Address”
I’ve spent lifetimes since my dissension
From the celestial regions of Heaven
Unceasingly castrating, manipulating,
poisoning, and tempting
The sane brainwaves of humankind with one
irreligious outcome
To form a military allegiance
On planet Earth solely unto myself
Of salvation hatred kamikazes with newly
formed
Cranial psychotic thought processes
Within the nocturnal trenches of sobriety
To the outcasts of contemporary society
I’ve offered every pleasurable vice
Souls of frozen faith to mate in the awaiting
abyss
All world religions and idols shall be
detonated
By the unstoppable atomic bomb kiss
Self inducing PCP injections heighten coma
nightmares
Of monstrous violent hallucinations of
warfare
Facial discoloration paint
Covers the naked canvas flesh expression
My puppets of the infernal infantry
Blasphemic war chants unite from every
country
To soothe my ears of chromosomal alteration
Your infernal inheritance I have saved
To the north, south, east or west you shall
be placed
Or the Angel of Death shall appear and choose
your fate
All in all, human disintegration is why I
exist
Your everlasting spiritual crucifixion I
shall not dismiss
Loved one’s memories banished here in
perdition
Your blinded eyes within
Fail miserably to repress
Your mortal addiction to sin
I’m Lucifer, the holocaust narrator of this
My “State Of The Infernal Region
Address”
