Century Media Records has issued the following press release:

"Belgian melodic/gore-grind mad scientists ABORTED 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 release on February 19th, 2007. 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, at the great 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.”

Here’s the tracklist for Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture: 'The Chondrin Enigma', 'A Methodical Overture', 'Avenious', 'The Spaying Séance', 'And Carnage Basked In Its Ebullience', 'The Foul Nucleus Of Resurrection', 'Archetype', 'Ingenuity In Genocide', 'Odious Emanation', 'Prolific Murder Contrivance', 'Underneath Rorulent Soil'.

Following the release of their new masterpiece, Aborted will head out on the road to promote the new material onstage, so watch out for more news on Aborted soon!"
