Mortician is an American death metal band from Yonkers, New York, founded in 1989. They have released most of their albums since the House by the Cemetery EP on Relapse Records, but have released their latest album on their own label, Mortician Records. They have toured several times through America and Europe. The band is heavily inspired by horror movies, which is expressed in the lyrics, the artwork, and the use of samples throughout their discography.

Links to Peel[]
Mortician were influenced by some death metal and grindcore bands such as Terrorizer, Napalm Death and Carcass, who were all played by Peel on his radio programmes. Peel played material from the group between 1999 and 2001, but after that, seemed to have lost interest in them.
