511.0. "Mortal Sin" by KETJE::VLASIU () Thu Mar 21 1991 05:19

This topic is for the Australian band Mortal Sin.
I just listened their "Face of despair" CD ('89) which is a very good 
power/speed metal album close to Meliah Rage style.
I listened the album together with Pantera's "Cowboys from hell" and it's on
the second listening that I quoted better Pantera (stronger compositions and
originality). At first listening Mortal Sin was sounding better because
of the catchy riffs. In any case FoD is a fine album which deserves to be well
recommended. It is also quite immediate music so you like it from the beginning.
They have also much humor which is reflected by the ending song's words. This
song is called "Robbie Soles" and here is the exact transcription of the words:

R.Soles for president
R.Soles for mayor
R.Soles for elect.
R.Soles everywhere
(repeat few times..)
We're all R.Soles

But the best song has to be the opening "I am immortal" which may become a HM
classic.
And here is the composition of the band:

Mat Maurer	- vocals
Mike Burke	- guitars
Paul Carwana	- guitars
Andy Eftichiou	- bass
Wayne Campbell	- drums

    I saw this band support Faith No More,last year.They didn't seem that
    good in my opinion.The singer came across as a bit of an arsehole,but
    since I saw them they have reportely dumped him.Maybe a good move.
      I also met a guy who had been their roadie for a while and he said
    they were a nice bunch of guys who were soooooo desperate to make it
    big but the singer was the dawback.
