Belgian masters of brutality ABORTED are launching a new MySpace and YouTube video series titled Slaughter And Apparatus TV, giving back something special to their fans by letting them vote for what they want to see and know about the band.

Sven De Caluwe (vocals) further describes this series: “The concept for Slaughter and Apparatus TV is simple. We will make various episodes, and you, the fans, get to vote what you want to see/know about the band. The first episode will be about drums. For those interested, our new drummer, Dan Wilding, will shoot a video of himself playing one of the following three songs: ‘The Chondrin Enigma,’ ‘Gestated Rabidity’ and ‘The Saw And The Carnage Done'.

“Dan will then go through the song chosen by the fans and explain the techniques he uses. We will count answers to our blog on our MySpace page

(http://www.myspace.com/g0remagedd0n) along with the responses to the poll in our official forum. This is made for you guys so we hope you like the results.

“In other news, we just got back from a crazy weekend and quite insane show in Copenhagen, which apparently has had some rioting/protesting on the streets for the past month. The city was pretty much flooded with cops (we fortunately evaded any cavity searches) and it all seemed a bit strange to us, but things were fine. However, after a pretty damn cool show at Stengade 30, we suddenly heard a big fucking bang upon leaving the club. Apparently, a bomb went off two streets away from the club, resulting in a shitload of cops blocking off the area with tons of smoke and fire everywhere. It was quite interesting. The funny things is that we have been to Israel/Tel Aviv countless times, yet it's in friggin’ Denmark that something has to explode next to us. Ironic to say the least.”

Aborted recently returned with a scathing new offering, Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture, which defies the laws of speed and technicality. This phenominal grind assault is now available, and be sure to check out their new E-card at http://www.centurymedia.com/eCard/aborted_ecard/, which features the group's stricking new video for the album's leadoff track 'The Chondrin Enigma'.

Aborted 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).
