1) Mortician is a deathgrind band from Yonkers, New York. They were founded in 1989 as Casket, but after writing their first song, aptly called "Mortician," they decided to change the band name. They take their lyrical inspiration from horror movies, and most songs on their album start or end with an audio sample from that genre. Out of respect for their former drummer, and unable to find a worthy replacement, they opted to use a drum machine when recording their albums, but have a real drummer during live performances.
2) Mortician is a Heavy Metal band from Austria formed in 1983. They released an EP and two Demos.

Mortician Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blade comes down
Severed head
Hits the ground
Blood sprays
From the veins
Cracked head
Splattered brains
The lyrics to "Decapitated" by Mortician speak about the gruesome act of decapitation. The opening line "Guillotine" refers to the instrument used to cut off a person's head. As the blade comes down, the singer describes the result of the action, a severed head. The next line, "Hits the ground," depicts the moment of impact as the head falls to the floor. The third line, "Blood sprays from the veins," shows the violent and graphic nature of the act as blood is forcefully released from the body. The final two lines, "Cracked head, splattered brains," paint a vivid picture of the physical destruction of the head as it hits the ground, causing the skull to crack and the brains to splatter.
While the lyrics to "Decapitated" may be horrifying to some, it is important to remember that Mortician is a death metal band whose music explores the darker and more extreme sides of human experience. The lyrics to this particular song are meant to shock and unsettle the listener, and in that sense, they do their job well. However, it should also be noted that the song is not meant to be taken literally but rather as an exaggerated representation of violence and gore in the context of the music.
