Mortification is Mortification's second studio release and eponymous debut album, released in 1991. The album before was a demo. This album leans more towards death metal, but still keeps itself in the ways of thrash.

Jayson Sherlock's original cover art (seen above, nicknamed the "gnarly cover") was censored by some Christian bookstores; the label shipped them a version with an alternative cover, simply the band's logo.[citation needed]

Although not as popular as its follow-up, Mortification became reputive in both Christian and secular metal scenes for its remarkably brutal output.[1] There are two short grindcore songs: "Turn" (33 s.) and "The Majestic Infiltration of Order" (1:06). The latter is commonly known as "God Rulz," because those are the only lyrics in the song. It is still often played in the band's concerts. Music videos were shot for "Turn," "Until the End," "The Destroyer Beholds," and "The Majestic Infiltration of Order" by film maker Neil Johnson. These videos were released on the video compilation Grind Planets.
