Review by Amit Das

Alright, let’s dive into The Resurrection of Mortimus Grimley by Ordained. This 2001 release is a raw slice of American thrash and heavy metal that doesn’t try to polish itself up for anyone. It’s the kind of album you throw on when you want something gritty, loud, and unapologetically in-your-face. Released under "Not On Label," it feels like one of those hidden gems that slipped under the radar but still packs a punch. First off, let’s talk about “God of Nothing.” Man, this track hits hard right outta the gate. The riffs are sharp enough to cut glass, and the vocals have this raspy, pissed-off vibe that just screams old-school thrash. What sticks with me here isn’t just how relentless it feels—it’s that moment halfway through where everything drops out except for this gnarly bassline. Like…what?! You don’t expect that kinda groove in such an aggressive song, but it totally works. It’s like they’re reminding you they can mess around while still kicking your teeth in. Then there’s “Mortimus Grimley (2001 Mix).” Yeah, yeah, I know—remixes or reworks can sometimes feel lazy, but not this one. They beefed up the production just enough without losing the original chaos. The drumming goes absolutely nuts, and the guitar solos? Pure fire. There’s this one section where the tempo shifts so suddenly you almost trip over yourself headbanging. Honestly, it’s tracks like these that remind me why I fell in love with heavy music in the first place: unpredictable, intense, and kinda unhinged. “All In Vein” rounds things out nicely too, though it’s more straightforward compared to the other two. Still slams though—don’t get me wrong. What’s wild about this album is that it came out in 2001, which was kinda late for thrash to make waves. Nu-metal was hogging all the attention back then, yet Ordained stuck to their guns and delivered something that feels timeless. Not flashy, not trendy—just straight-up heavy goodness. Here’s the kicker: listening to this album makes me think about how much awesome music gets lost in the shuffle. Bands like Ordained didn’t have big labels backing them, but damn if they didn’t leave a mark anyway. Makes you wonder what else is out there waiting to be discovered, y’know? Anyway, crank this sucker up if you wanna hear some proper metal mayhem.
