ABORTED Posts Two New Tracks Online; Prepares For North American Tour
Mankind’s sense for creativity probably manifests best in the sheer unlimited ways of torturing, mutilating, and killing each other. Successfully applying this atrocious inventiveness to their perversely precise sonic executions, European death metal butchers, ABORTED, with members hailing from Belgium, France and the UK have refined and re-defined the tools of their trade on their sixth full-length, Strychnine.213, to murder the listener with unimaginably gruesome, shockingly diverse brutality. The album’s much anticipated North American release is set for June 24th, just as the band embarks on this year’s Summer Slaughter tour. Be sure to check out www.myspace.com/summerslaughtertour for their complete itinerary.
Besides the macabre cover artwork by Colin Marks, ABORTED now present you two new songs from their stunning follow-up to 2007’s much-lauded Century Media offering, Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture, at their revamped MySpace site. “I35” demonstrates how ABORTED have successfully increased the modern, darker and surprisingly dynamic and melodic elements of their sound, whereas “Pestiferous Subterfuge” is another brutal groove laden assault.

Combining the band’s undeniable live energy with a powerhouse production from Eric Rachel (The Red Chord, The Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid) and a much needed diversified approach to the overly edited, sterile sounding death metal records of today, ABORTED succeed in retaining their vicious roots while evolving in terms of melody, musical virtuosity and vigor.
Strychnine.213 reinforces the notion that ABORTED have doubtlessly developed into extreme metal’s most promising new breed.
