Belgium masters of brutality ABORTED have 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.�?

Sven De Caluwe (vocals) further describes his excitment over their new album: “We just completed three record release shows this past weekend throughout Europe (Belgium, Holland, France), which all were fucking amazing. It feels great to have the new album finally released. Reactions have been crazy and the new songs sound brutal on stage. We're most looking forward to get our arses over to the U.S. as soon as possible and tour like maniacs. Expect us to violate your homes, sisters and small animals very soon. You have been warned.�?

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).

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. this year to keep their momentum going strong in support of the new album.
