EnVision EvAngelene is the sixth studio album by the Australian Christian death metal band Mortification, released on 23 April 1996. Musically, this particular album is known for having more of a traditional heavy metal and thrash metal sound than previous Mortification offerings, which focused mainly on death metal.
Two reissues of EnVision EvAngelene have been released; in 2008 on Metal Mind Productions with four bonus tracks and in 2021 on Soundmass with five bonus tracks and a second disc containing the Live Without Fear album.
The most notable song on the album is the epic opening title track which clocks in at over 18 minutes. The lyrics in the song tell of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ from the perspective of the Angels. Music videos were shot for both the title song and "Northern Storm" and released on a video compilation titled EnVidion.
Some critics praised the album's music.[2] However, after this album, as the band's style began changing even more, the critics' interest in Mortification began fading. Despite that, the band's albums would keep selling well, and they would remain their reputive status as "some kind of super stars in the Christian metal scene."[3]
