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 ↴
Cannibals rip the flesh
Bodies hang from meathooks
Human flesh peeled and cooked
Tables made of human bones
Rotting bodies fill their home
Roasted organs, shredded skin
Demented sadist family
Barbaric killing spree
Cannibals you can't escape
Leatherface seals your fate
Chainsaw rips through the flesh
Cut apart, dismembered death
Organs, guts torn and thrown
Stripping skin to the bone
Hammer smashes in your head
Gutted corpse lying dead
Body parts in the stew
Hacked up for barbecue
The lyrics of "Hacked Up For Barbecue" by Mortician paint a gruesome picture of a cannibalistic family's home. The ominous opening line "isolated house of death" sets the tone for the graphic violence and gore that follows. The second line "cannibals rip the flesh" leaves no room for interpretation as to the nature of this family's activities. The bodies of their victims are gruesomely displayed on meathooks throughout the house.
The third line "bodies hang from meathooks" is a particularly haunting image, and the fourth line "human flesh peeled and cooked" is as repulsive as it is terrifying. The second stanza describes a home entirely constructed from human bones and flesh, with the walls filled with rotting corpses. The family's diet consists of roasted organs, shredded skin, and thin slices of human meat. The lyrics leave the listener with the impression that these individuals are entirely removed from humanity, and that their actions are nothing short of demonic.
The chorus of the song repeatedly warns that this clan of cannibals cannot be escaped from, and that Leatherface, the main antagonist of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" film series, is the one to seal the victim's fate. The descriptions of chainsaw ripping through flesh, dismemberment, and organ removal paint an undoubtedly bleak picture of the individual's outcomes when they cross paths with this family. The final verse ends with the image of body parts in the stew and the dark reality of being "hacked up for barbecue."

Chalice Of Blood
1. Bloodcraving 05:13 Hide lyrics
Awakened from the damp cold grave
Centuries undead the coffin's slave
Hungering for taste of mortal blood
Hands breaking through the rotted wood
Tearing through the dirt
Rising from the earth
Ripping through the flesh, breaking limbs and bones

Feasting on the heart, gouging out the eyes
Organs torn apart, mortals scream and die
Zombie living dead
Forever to roam the earth

The spheres drill the blood and the brains from your head
Your body twists and jerks until your finally dead
Funeral's over the casket's closed
Your body starts to decompose

Brought into the crematory
Enters - into your home
He comes - to take your soul
Mortician - you can't escape
Dead - you're in the hearse
