Description:Updated reissue of Mortal Sinâ??s breakthrough second album â??Face Of Despair, originally released in 1989, with extensive liner notes and contributions from the band. -
Updated reissue of Mortal Sin's breakthrough second album 'Face Of Despair, originally released in 1989, with extensive liner notes and contributions from the band. Newly remastered, the release features liner notes from respected metal writer Malcolm Dome who conducted new interviews with the band, and also from former touring drummer Steve Hughes, now a hugely successful stand-up comedian. Emerging from the Australian metal underground in the latter part of the '80s after forming in 1985, Mortal Sin quickly found global fame when their self- released debut LP 'Mayhemic Destruction' was picked up by major label Vertigo and re-issued globally in 1987
"Face of Despair" on CD by Mortal Sin is a powerful slice of classic thrash metal, reissued by the specialist label DISSONANCE. The album captures the relentless energy, razor-sharp riffing and socially conscious aggression that defined the late-80s/early-90s era of the genre. Listeners can expect tight, fast-paced guitar work, driving rhythms and raw yet focused vocals that move between furious speed sections and heavier, mid-tempo passages. Lyrically, the record revolves around themes of inner struggle, despair, societal decay and the darker sides of human nature, providing an intense, cathartic listening experience that still feels relevant today. This CD edition is aimed at both long-time fans of Mortal Sin and new listeners exploring the roots of international thrash metal, offering a cohesive, high-energy album that fits seamlessly into any serious metal collection.

Mortal Sin are an Australian thrash metal band known for helping to bring the sound of classic, Bay Area-influenced thrash to a wider audience outside Europe and the United States. Emerging in the 1980s, they stood out through their combination of speed, melody and socially engaged lyrics, earning them dedicated followings in underground metal circles and strong recognition in the international scene through touring and festival appearances. Over the years, Mortal Sin have built a reputation as one of Australia's key contributions to classic thrash, with albums that are regularly cited by genre enthusiasts as important cult releases. Their work has influenced younger bands from their home country and beyond, and "Face of Despair" represents a central part of that legacy.

DISSONANCE is a label that focuses strongly on rock and metal, with a particular emphasis on classic, traditional and extreme subgenres. Known for carefully curated reissues and solid catalogue titles, DISSONANCE aims to keep important albums in circulation and available in high-quality editions at fair prices. The label often gives long-out-of-print or underrated records a second life, making them accessible to new generations of listeners while also offering collectors well-produced physical formats such as CDs with clear sound and reliable manufacturing standards. With this approach, DISSONANCE has established itself as a trusted name among fans who value both musical heritage and tangible physical releases.
