TQT or Morty?
First 3 Tourniquet or First 3 Mortification
PS: I’m counting from Morty’s self-titled, not Break the Curse.

Mortification's first three: 8.6902380952381
Tourniquet's first three: 8.8033333333333
I knew it would be Tourniquet though, as while my favorite of each trilogy (StB vs. Scrolls) are tied (even though I place StB higher because I prefer Ark of Suffering (my favorite StB track) over Terminate Damnation (my favorite Scrolls track)), but I prefer both of the other T albums over Morty's debut. And then PMA is really good, though I don't like it as much as most seem to.

First Three TqT are masterpieces.

I went with Tourniquet because I’m more into thrash. But it’s hard to dispute those first 3 Mortification albums…they are brutally epic!

A masterpiece with two wings of excellence soaring either side of it.

It may have been closer if the s/t Mortification was better quality. As it stands, STB is miles better than that one. And Psycho Surgery is my favorite Tourniquet album, so that edges out Scrolls (although I do love that album too). I just feel Tourniquet was less one dimensional… they had a lot of variety.
Pathogenic and PMA are the closest in comparison. Both are great and more progressive, but I gotta give it to Pathogenic by a hair. That said, “From the Valley of Shadows” is probably my favorite Mortification song.
Final assessment: I love both bands… but Tourniquet gets the win!

As far as drums go… both Ted and Jayson were the best. Jayson was more intense and speedy, but Ted had those amazing drum fills.

Then the music with it's inexorable and relentless brutality doomy heavy dark atmosphere I 'd never heard before. So for me STB by TQT, which came out a year before, was like a breezy walk in the park on a summer's day in comparison.

I thought that was the alternate "censored" cover that the Christian stores carried.

Re: First 3 Tourniquet or First 3 Mortification
Yeah it was. I loosely call it original because it was the first I saw. But as far as I know, the actual cover by Jayson wasn't released till much later. I could be wrong about that (probably am not the first time). But at the time he Jayson cover was nowhere in sight when the album was first released in 1991 from what I saw, at least where I come from.MagnusPrime wrote:Dustofyears wrote:Mort's self titled album with it's original black cover

That’s correct.
They thought the lake of fire cover was too brutal. But I gotta say that the black cover was fine by me… the plain black look lent to a more mysterious feel (less is more). And the logo popped more because of it.

Here are the rules:
That era of Mortification rules (God Rulz!), but it does not rule as much as Tourniquet rules.
