Belgian death metallers ABORTED (www.goremageddon.be) have returned with a new slab of sheer brutality that is destined to take their special brand of aural violence to the next level.

Their new offering, Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture, is set for a February 20th, 2007 release.

Recorded at Denmark’s Antfarm Studios with producer/engineer Tue Madsen (HIMSA, THE HAUNTED), and including guest vocal performances by Jeff Walker (ex-CARCASS) and Jacob Bredahl (HATESPHERE), the album features sickeningly infectious guitar hooks, inhuman drumming, overwhelming intensity and crushing hooks.

Their previous platter, The Archaic Abattoir, solidified the band as one of the brightest new stars in the extreme metal genre, and their new album cements their status as one of the scene’s most innovative and exciting artists.

Founding vocalists Sven De Caluwe checks in with the following report: “Well, we just finished everything for the new aborted album, Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture, with the great at Antfarm Studios. Expect an album which more or less condenses what we’ve been doing over the last three albums, with some fresh elements added in. It's definitely a lot more extreme, with more solo mayhem than The Archaic Abattoir, while still retaining the groove and melodies we have been building on. We promise that you will not be disappointed.”

Aborted caught the attention of the entire scene on their first highly successful US tour with SUFFOCATION and labelmates CRYPTOPSY and DESPISED ICON last fall. The band plan on aggressively touring the US next year to keep their momentum going strong in support of the new album.
