Death metal psychopaths ABORTED have just finished their eighth full-length, The Necrotic Manifesto, with Danish producer Jacob Hansen (VOLBEAT, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, MERCENARY). The album will be released on April 28th in Europe and on April 29th in North America via Century Media Records.

Frontman Sven de Caluwé comments: "I can't believe we did it to be honest. We had a little over three months from start to master on this record - everyone really gave 300% on this record, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Jacob once again, who really pulled the best out of all our asses. I can say in all honesty that The Necrotic Manifesto is without a doubt the strongest record Aborted has done thus far and could not be more proud of everyone involved in the project. It is the most brutal, extreme and technical record of the band without losing sight of groove and catchiness, which are all vital elements of this band. We cannot wait to get out there and start playing some new material in front of people and get some feedback on what we did in these intense months. Besides this I am very thrilled to have some of my favorite vocalists on this record as guests. Both Phlegethon (WORMED) and Vincent Bennett (THE ACACIA STRAIN) brought their own brand of burp to the table and really complemented the songs they are on! The artwork has been done by Par Olofsson (PATHOLOGY, IMMOLATION, IMMORTAL)."

Aborted have announced headline dates prior to the bands North American tour with Canada's KATAKLYSM. The band will play a select number of headline North East dates alongside PYREXIA and other supports.

Sven had to say the following: "East coast beware, since several of you have demanded east coast shows; we give you some! Also, the reason we are doing this has nothing to do with the fact that we absolutely want to get fat on Philly cheese steaks or New York pizza. Also, we are thrilled to have New York’s legendary Pyrexia coming along with us to give you many shit tsunamis through the power of brutal death metal. In all seriousness, we are very excited to play this week of exclusive headline dates before the release of our new album and we better see some familiar faces there! Grind!"
