Scrolls of the Megilloth is the second studio album by Australian Christian death metal band Mortification. It was released on 28 August 1992. The band's most famous release, this album is full-on death metal, with the thrash metal roots barely showing, and possibly their most extreme album to date. According to AllMusic, the album "garnered the band some attention from the heavy metal underground" and contains "some of the most frightening vocals ever recorded."^[3] In 2010, HM Magazine ranked Scrolls of the Megilloth number 17 on the Top 100 Christian Metal Albums of All Time list with Van Pelt stating that "Though the band has been living it down ever since, this album raised the standard of Christian grindcore to almost unattainable levels."^[4]

Several reissues of Scrolls of the Megilloth have been released on various record labels. It was bundled with Mortification's 1993 album Post Momentary Affliction on Nuclear Blast and included two live bonus tracks, releasing on 18 November 1996. A bundle that contained Scrolls of the Megilloth and Mortification's self-titled debut studio album was released on KMG Records in 1998 and on Rowe Productions in 2015, with the latter being exclusively on cassette. A reissue was released on Metal Mind Productions in 2008 and included three live bonus tracks. Soundmass Records released reissues in 2005, 2020, and 2022; the first reissue has four demo tracks, the second has three live tracks, and the third, titled Scrolls of the Megilloth: 30th Anniversary Edition, has new remastering and two discs, with the second CD containing eight demos and six live tracks¹.
