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 ↴
Brought into the earth with powers
Experiments gone wrong at birth
A war for control of the death
Inner conflict, anger building
War is coming, powers surging
Plan to form a scanner army
To kill and maim and mutilate
Control the earth and human slaves
Showdown coming, brainwaves
Battling good vs. evil, winner must kill
Veins are bursting
Eyeballs melting
Heads exploding
Bodies burning
The Mortician's song Telepathic Terror describes the emergence of superhuman mental scanners on Earth. These scanners possess powers that have arisen from experiments gone wrong at birth. The lyrics suggest that there is an internal conflict within the scanners, with anger building up and a war for control of death looming. The scanners are depicted as planning to form an army to kill, maim and mutilate, in order to control the earth and enslave humans. A showdown is coming between good and evil, and the winner must kill.
The lyrics in Telepathic Terror portray a dystopian view of the world, where people with extraordinary powers are using them to gain control and enforce their will upon others. The song paints a grim picture of what can happen when power is misused and when war is waged for the sake of domination. The conflicts within the scanners are an allegory for the conflicts of power and control in our world, and their destructive nature is a warning of what can happen if such conflicts are not resolved peacefully. The imagery in the final lines of the song is especially vivid and disturbing, with veins bursting, eyeballs melting, heads exploding, and bodies burning, all indicating the fatal consequences of misuse of power.
