MORTAL SIN's tracks "Deadman Walking" and "Out of the Darkness", taken from the band's latest CD, "An Absence of Faith", will be featured in the upcoming Australian comedy/horrow film "I Still Know Who Many Runs You Scored Last Summer".

"An Absence of Faith" was released in Europe last November. According to a press release, the CD "is a rollercoaster ride, with enough twists and turns to jolt even the staunchest of heads. From the single 'Out of the Darkness' to the nine-minute epic 'Tears of Redemption - Lebanon Part II' and lyrics covering everything from politics, religion, child abuse and relationships MORTAL SIN have pulled a classic out of the hat for 2007."

Once hailed as the next METALLICA, MORTAL SIN have become legends in their home country Australia, having been inducted into the Kerrang! Heavy Metal Hall of Fame in 2005 and being the only Australian band to have played with the big five of thrash METALLICA, SLAYER, ANTHRAX, MEGADETH and TESTAMENT on tours in Australia and overseas.
