" Only a select few outside of Australia will remember Mortal Sin and their glory days brought about by their crunching debut 'Mayhemic Destruction' (1986) and their similarly heavy 'Face of Despair'. The Mortals succesfully toured Europe, then unfortunately folded, eventually reformed sans-all but one original member.
These guys were signed and thought to be the next"Metallica" as they were surely in the same vein...."



" Those who do remember the Mortals in their prime will remember the sheer thrash intensity of 'Face of Despair' as these boys from the Sydney suburb of Parramatta unleashed such ball-tearing thrash anthems as 'Voyage of the Disturbed', 'I Am Immortal', 'The Infantry Corps' and 'Martyrs of Eternity' and the catchy "Innocent Torture"......anthrax,metallica etc would be the closest comparison. Thrashing riffs with catchy choruses...(some corny lyrics)but who didnt in that era"


" If you love classic thrash metal, you can do far worse than hunting down 'Face of Despair'; or indeed 'Mayhemic Destruction !



Classic Aussie Thrash !..........Get It!
