"EnVision EvAngelene" is a 1996 release, by Christian metal band Mortification. Musically, this particular album is known for having more of a traditional heavy metal and thrash metal sound then previous Mortification offerings, which focused mainly on death metal. The most notable song on the album is the epic opening title track which clocks in at almost 19 minutes. The lyrics in the song tell of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ from the perspective of the Angels. Music videos were shot for both the title song and "Northern Storm" and released on a video compilation titled "EnVideon". The critics praised the album's music. [Ryhänen, Pekka [http://imperiumi.net/alb_2.php?id=2479 Mortification review] . Imperiumi.net] However, after this album, as the band's style began changing even more, the critics' interest in Mortification began fading. Despite that, the band's albums would keep selling well, and they would remain their reputive status as "some kind of super stars in the Christian metal scene."
