Post Momentary Affliction

This is an amazing CD re-issue of Mortification’s 1993 album Post Momentary Affliction.
After the pounding death/grind of 1992’s Scrolls Of The Megilloth, this album sees Mortification returning to their thrash roots, but with a refinement and creativity which would see this recording considered a classic. With the influences of Manowar and Iron Maiden on display, we’re treated to a feast of incredible thrash and speed metal that is laced with death metal. Complex songwriting, precise riffing, masterful bass playing, phenomenal drumming, intelligent lyrics performed in a fresh death growl/thrash shout style, all captured with clear and clean production. Recognized by many critics as an innovative album, and arguably seeing this trio crafting songs at their artistic peak, Post Momentary Affliction is distinctly Mortification and showcases everything fans love about this band.
The original front cover art has been re-created from scratch by drummer Jayson Sherlock. This 2020 jewel case version of Post Momentary Affliction also includes 4 bonus tracks and an all-new layout – a 12-page booklet with lyrics, alternate cover art, photos, articles and an album history written by Scott Waters (Ultimatum/NoLifeTilMetal). This edition is a must for fans of this pioneering Aussie band and any true metal aficionado.
Post Momentary Affliction is the third studio album by Australian Christian extreme metal band Mortification, released in 1993. The album's sound has Mortification returning to their thrash metal roots, but with death metal elements still showing. It contains an alternate recording of the track "Impulsation" from the band's Break the Curse demo album. Post Momentary Affliction was bundled with Mortification's 1992 album Scrolls of the Megilloth on Nuclear Blast and included "Butchered Mutilation" as a bonus track, releasing on 18 November 1996. In 2008, a reissue was released by Metal Mind Productions, which also included "Butchered Mutilation" and three live tracks. Soundmass released reissues in 2020 and 2022, with the former having three live tracks and the latter having new remastering and two discs, with the second CD containing fifteen live tracks1; both reissues include "Butchered Mutilation". In 2010, HM Magazine ranked Post Momentary Affliction No. 70 on the Top 100 Christian metal albums of all-time list.
