Belgium masters of brutality ABORTED have just launched their new website at www.goremageddon.be in anticipation of their new album, Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture, which is set for a February 20th release. Be sure to visit the site to check out the album’s stricking cover art and a new track, 'The Chondrin Enigma'.

The band has always kept their death metal roots, but at the same time, they have never been afraid to experiment. Had CARCASS decided not to throw in the towel and progress in a heavier, tighter and more technically advanced direction, they would probably sound something like Aborted.

Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture is an astounding new album, refreshing, massive and graced with all trademarks of an instant classic: memorable and inventive song structures, over-the-top musicianship, a natural and warm yet up-to-date production and a feel of timelessness rarely seen in the genre nowadays.

Aborted are more than prepared to shatter the boundaries of extreme metal and set new standards. The disc was recorded at Denmark’s Antfarm Studios with producer/engineer Tue Madsen (HIMSA, THE HAUNTED), and includes guest vocal performances by Jeff Walker (ex-Carcass) and Jacob Bredahl (HATESPHERE).

Sven De Caluwe further describes the new effort: “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 highly successful debut U.S. tour with SUFFOCATION and labelmates CRYPTOPSY and DESPISED ICON last fall. The band plan on aggressively touring the U.S. next year to keep their momentum going strong in support of the new album.
