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 & 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.

After the already much-lauded Century Media debut “Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture” their newest effort turns out to be ABORTED’s most meticulous, ferocious and variable to date. Whether they pummel the listener with relentless blastbeats, fester in your veins with infectious grooves, cut arteries utilizing sadistically shredding leads and gurgle, snarl with inhuman violence, these guys make sure they leave no witnesses to their evil deeds.
“Strychnine.213” impresses with a more compact, effective songwriting emphasizing dynamics and darker, refreshingly modern elements that broaden the extremely lethal death metal the band has been known and feared for since its conception in 1995.

Combining the band’s undeniable live energy with a powerhouse production from Eric Rachel (The Red Chord, The Black Dahlia Murder, God Forbid etc.) and a “fuck you' rock'n roll” 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. Taking the album’s lyrical concept of true crime, serial killer topics quite literally, Colin Marks’ frighteningly realistic and brutal artwork for “Strychnine.213” reinforces the notion that ABORTED have doubtlessly developed into extreme metal’s most promising new breed.

Having toured with Behemoth, Kataklysm, Cryptopsy or lately Heaven Shall Burn, sharing festival stages with Hatebreed, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, the Belgian quintet is highly respected for its intense live shows and new tracks like “Ophiolatry On A Hemocite Platter”, “Pestiferous Subterfuge” or the epic mid-tempo crawler “A Murmur In Decrepit Wits” should turn every stage into ABORTED’s very own killing ground!
In ABORTED’s degenerated worldview murder is fun and you will be delighted to be killed by their new aural toxin…
