ABORTED: U.S. Release Date Confirmed For New Album

November 20, 2006

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 highly anticipated new offering, "Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture", is set for a February 20, 2007 release via Century Media Records. 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', with the great at 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."

"Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture" track listing:

01. The Chondrin Enigma
02. A Methodical Overture
03. Avenious
04. The Spaying Séance
05. And Carnage Basked In Its Ebullience
06. The Foul Nucleus Of Resurrection
07. Archetype
08. Ingenuity In Genocide
09. Odious Emanation
10. Prolific Murder Contrivance
11. Underneath Rorulent Soil

ABORTED also recorded two cover tracks, to be used as Japanese bonus songs or for release on limited-edition versions of the new album: "Slaughtered" from PANTERA and "Surprise! You're Dead" from FAITH NO MORE.

ABORTED recently parted ways with bass player Olivia Scemama (ex-NO RETURN, BALROG) and drummer Gilles Delecroix and replaced them with Peter Goemaere (EMETH) and session member Etienne Galo (NEGATIVA),respectively.
