Mortification Records

Mortification Records was an international independent record label co-founded in September 2006 by the original members of the Triskalyon circle; namely Alexandre Julien (based in Canada), Der.Walsch (based in France) and Eric Bryant (2) (based in the United States). Its headquarters were in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, where Julien was living at the time. The company was initially founded to release all of the material by the bands and artists of the Triskalyon collective. Mortification Records briefly relocated to Edison, New Jersey, United States in December 2006, but ultimately resumed operations in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in July 2007. After the dissolution of Triskalyon on March 5, 2007, Julien assumed full ownership of the company. On June 29, 2007, Matthias (aka Thanhas Iceheart, based in France) became a partner in the record label. However, after two weeks of being unable to agree on which band to release next, Matthias split off to form his own record label, Frozen Wing Records, on July 15, 2007. Julien continued to release music through Mortification Records until March 2008. Mortification Records later went under a hiatus in 2008 after Julien founded his own record label Abridged Pause Recordings. Mortification Records was sporadically brought back for limited edition releases, first in February 2010, and again from August to October 2010, acting as an imprint of Abridged Pause Recording. After nearly 20 releases, Mortification Records folded permanently in late October 2010. Julien continues to operate Abridged Pause Recordings.
