Mortician is an American death metal band formed in Yonkers, New York, in 1989.[1] They have released most of their albums since their House by the Cemetery EP with Relapse Records, but have released their latest album with their own label, Mortician Records. They have toured several times throughout America and Europe. The band is inspired by horror and slasher films, which is heavily expressed in the lyrics, artwork, and the uses of samples throughout their discography.

Influences

[edit]

Mortician is influenced by other seminal death metal and grindcore acts, chiefly Repulsion, Impetigo, and Autopsy, but also Massacre, Terrorizer, Incantation, Pungent Stench, Napalm Death, and Carcass.[citation needed] Founding members were also heavily influenced by Black Sabbath.
