News: Mangled Carpenter Releases Mortification Cover ‘Terminate Damnation’
Mangled Carpenter has released its new single, “Terminate Damnation,” a crushing reinterpretation of the Mortification classic originally featured on the Australian death-metal pioneers’ landmark 1992 album, Scrolls of the Megilloth.
The track arrives today, June 5, as the second and final single leading into Mangled Carpenter’s forthcoming EP, Between Blood and Silence, due July 17 through Broken Curfew Records in partnership with Rottweiler Records.
Mortification helped carve out the foundations of Christian death metal during the early 1990s, bringing uncompromising extremity and explicitly spiritual lyrics into territory few Christian bands had entered. “Terminate Damnation” remains one of the group’s defining songs, carrying the primitive force, theological urgency and underground credibility that made Scrolls of the Megilloth a cornerstone of the genre.
Mangled Carpenter approaches the song with reverence for that history while driving it through the band’s own death-grind machinery. The new rendition intensifies the track’s rhythmic violence and cavernous atmosphere without severing its connection to the original.
The single follows “The Absence of Light,” which launched the EP campaign in April. Together, the two tracks offer the first glimpse of Between Blood and Silence, the latest chapter from Mangled Carpenter’s long-running collaboration between Seth Metoyer and Kris Olson.
