Legendary death metal maniacs, Aborted, have released their new single, "Infinite Terror". Get it here, and watch a video for the track below.

A message states: "Watch as we shred an abandoned asylum, while a young woman’s sanity is shredded by a haunting presence, blurring - nay, obliterating - the lines between the real and surreal. Turn up your speakers, turn on a light, and submit yourself to the INFINITE TERROR."

On a moonless night, metal powerhouse Nuclear Blast dared to gaze into the pitch black abyss and summoned one of the most vicious and menacing forces roaming the European death metal scene to join their ranks. Aborted recently inked a contract with the label.

The true scenario behind the signing of this outstanding genre pioneer might have been a bit less dramatic but the promise of an exciting future remains.

Sven de Caluwé (vocals) commented: "We couldn’t be more excited to announce our signing to Nuclear Blast — one of the premier labels for extreme music with tons of label mates we love. We are very excited to see where this mad caravan leads to next! After a very long and solid partnership with Century Media, it was time for us to try something new. To celebrate our signing with Nuclear Blast and the upcoming monster of a tour with our friends Lorna Shore, Ingested and more, we decided to unleash a new single. 'Infinite Terror' will obliterate all your senses. The song is inspired by ‘Event Horizon’ and marks the debut of new guitarist Dan Konradsson (Ophidian I, Une Misère). Expect something dark, imposing, and HEAVY as fuck!"

Jaap Wagemaker, A&R Nuclear Blast Europe, added: "Nuclear Blast is very excited to announce the signing of brutal death metal maniacs Aborted. Aborted is one of the pioneers of the genre. Originally founded in Belgium, they have come a long way from the death/grind underground to creating a very successful, unique brand of horror-themed, cinematic extreme metal that’s highly compatible with today’s tech death and deathcore scenes. Aborted have influenced a lot of bands worldwide, and for many bands being invited to go on tour with Aborted meant the start of a successful career. Aborted worked on their status even more by releasing classics such as The Necrotic Manifesto and Retrogore which somehow managed to surpass that album and showcased what the band is capable of: lifting death metal to a higher level of intensity, atmosphere and brutality. Nuclear Blast and Aborted  are looking forward to keep pushing the boundaries of high class brutal death metal together in the future!"

With their horror-themed, cinematic extreme metal, Aborted have mastered a dark craft that’s tough to compete with. The Belgian band has been dominating the world of death metal since vocalist Sven de Caluwé formed the band 26 years ago. As the lone original member, he’s directed the band like a demented conductor.

Aborted are shapeshifters, evolving from blazing deathgrind to groovier fare before settling into a technical approach on death metal.

Their ability to compose and perform an uncompromising mix of death metal and grindcore, complemented with provocative artwork and merchandise designs, has allowed Aborted to become an essential pioneer of the extreme metal scene over the course of their career, that has seen them release 11 successful full-length albums since the mid-Nineties.

Despite the seemingly sinister image that’s portrayed by the bands wildly heavy, gore-fueled music, Aborted have actively supported charity campaigns throughout their career. They’ve donated parts of their merchandise income to “National Alliance To End Homelessness”, teamed up with other bands to launch a shirt to benefit the Ukrainian war refugees and have also been a long term member of “Metalheads Against Racism”.
