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.

[6] Scrolls of the Megilloth is characterized by Jayson Sherlock's quick and unconventional blast beat drumming, Michael Carlisle's aggressive but precise rhythm guitar work, Steve Rowe's double layered "grind baritone vocals of extreme reality", and high tuned, apparent, and groovy bass guitar playing.

The album begins with the intro of the song "Nocturnal", consisting of noises of the night from chirring crickets to howling animals, creating a dark cult horror movie atmosphere; an ominous drum beat slowly becomes louder, accompanied by a drop D tuned guitar riff, turns into a chaotic speed as the vocals by Steve Rowe growl the words "Nocturnal/Creatures of the night" with the word "Creatures" sung in a frightening shrieking voice.

The lyrics on Scrolls of the Megilloth are as extreme as the music, dealing with the common themes of death metal such as death, horror, occultism, and violence from a Christian point of view: "Terminate Damnation" is about spiritual warfare against evil and moral impurity, "Eternal Lamentation" has the ungodly screaming in agony in Hell, and "Necromanicide" warns against communicating with the deceased through spiritism because "only demons answer their call".

According to the 2005 reissue liner notes, Steve Rowe studied at a Bible college a year before the album was recorded and he learned that these books were read at feasts and celebrations of significant Jewish dates.
