Mortician

Mortician is a New York-based death metal/grindcore band that’s been terrorizing eardrums since 1989 with their signature blend of brutal riffs, horror movie samples, and drum machine-driven chaos. Founded by bassist/vocalist Will Rahmer (the band’s only constant member) and drummer Matt Sicher, they carved out a niche with gore-soaked lyrics about zombies, slasher flicks, and all things macabre. Their discography—including classics like *Chainsaw Dismemberment* and *Hacked Up for Barbeque*—reads like a grindhouse film festival, pairing relentless blast beats with samples from obscure horror movies.

Known for their DIY ethos and unapologetically raw sound, Mortician became cult favorites in the underground extreme metal scene. While their lineup has shifted over the decades, Rahmer’s guttural vocals and the band’s commitment to B-movie aesthetics (even their live shows often feature horror projections) keep fans coming back for more. Recent releases like *Zombie Apocalypse* and *Darkest Day of Horror* prove they’re still obsessed with all things gruesome, maintaining their status as the ultimate soundtrack for a midnight creature feature.
