Metal-Archives lists 35 bands with the moniker of Mortuary, and the only one that I was ever very familiar with was the French band, but these guys are from Russia and are actually quite good. Just to be completely transparent, these guys changed their name to Mortuary Division in 2015 on their last release, so they don't even show up on the list I mentioned. Listen & support if you like what you hear.

I am not sure what the deal is with this band, based on information from Metal-Archives they are still active but Utter Subordination @ 13 years old is their latest release. Unfortunately, I don't really think this album gets the respect it deserves, there are a handful of really good death metal tracks here and some nice guitar work overall. I would love to have a t-shirt with that artwork too. My CD rip \m/\m/
