Hammer of God (album)

Hammer of God is the eighth studio album by the Australian Christian death metal band Mortification, released on 27 July 1999.

It was provided to celebrate their tenth year, sales of 250,000 albums in Europe and the United States.

The group promoted the album with a European tour.

It contains three demo versions of tracks that were included on the band's 1998 studio album Triumph of Mercy. The song "God Rulz" is a re-recorded version of the track "The Majestic Infiltration of Order" from both Mortification's self-titled debut studio album and their Break the Curse demo album. A reissue of Hammer of God was released in 2008 on Metal Mind Productions, which removed one of the demo tracks and included three bonus tracks. In 2021, a reissue was released by Soundmass with new remastering, five bonus tracks, an updated cover, and a second disc containing the 10 Years Live Not Dead album.
