Blood World is the fourth studio album by Australian Christian death metal band Mortification, released in 1994. The songs "Your Life", "J.G.S.H." and "Love Song" were included on the Tourniquet/Mortification Collector's Edition CD Single in 1994; the disc also contained a segment discussing Mortification's history, from the video release of Live Planetarium, and material from American Christian metal band Tourniquet's album Vanishing Lessons. Blood World was a commercial hit and the band's most successful album.[3]

The album focuses more on thrash metal, with classic metal, groove metal and hardcore punk influences, and contains less death metal influences than previous albums. Instead of Steve Rowe's growls, the album mainly contains his shouting-style singing, but growls do make occasional appearances.
