Mortifier was formed in 2007 by guitarist Zach Wincek, and drummer Pete Van Horn. Two or three months later after looking for additional members, they asked friends Jerey Wolf (guitar) and Brian Rex (bass and vocals) to complete the lineup. The next few months were devoted to writing original songs and preparing to play out.In March of 2008 they recorded a four song demo entitled “Dead by Dawn†and played their first show. The next months Mortifier played as many shows as possible spreading their music and demo all throughout Ohio. During the fall of 2008 it was decided to record again and put out a full length album with the original four songs on the “Dead by Dawn†demo re-recorded and four new songs. Famous metal artist, Halseycaust, was recruited to do the cover art for the album. After the album "UNDERGROUND NOISE" was out and pressed, Mortifier supported it's release by setting out on a winter tour with numerous dates, that covered over a 5 state region. The album has sold very well so far in the underground metal scene, and has had a great deal of attention with both fans and many distribution companies!Mortifier once again hit the studio in late Febuary 09 and recorded 3 new songs for a new 7inch E.P. release with OHIO METAL MILITIA RECORDS. This coming summer, Mortifier will once again be hitting the road on numerous dates, to spread as much metal to the underground fans!
