Sven de Caluwé (vocals) comments:
“We couldn’t be more excited to announce our signing to NUCLEAR BLAST — one of the premier labels for extreme music with tons of label mates we love. We are very excited to see where this mad caravan leads to next! After a very long and solid partnership with Century Media, it was time for us to try something new.
To celebrate our signing with NUCLEAR BLAST and the upcoming monster of a tour with our friends Lorna Shore, Ingested and more, we decided to unleash a new single. “Infinite Terror” will obliterate all your senses on October 19. The song is inspired by ‘Event Horizon’ and marks the debut of new guitarist Dan Konradsson (Ophidian I, Une Misère). Expect something dark, imposing, and HEAVY as fuck!”
With Jaap Wagemaker, A&R Nuclear Blast Europe, adding:
“NUCLEAR BLAST is very excited to announce the signing of brutal death metal maniacs ABORTED:
ABORTED is one of the pioneers of the genre. Originally founded in Belgium, they have come a long way from the death/grind underground to creating a very successful, unique brand of horror-themed, cinematic extreme metal that’s highly compatible with today’s tech death and deathcore scenes. ABORTED have influenced a lot of bands worldwide, and for many bands being invited to go on tour with ABORTED meant the start of a successful career. ABORTED worked on their status even more by releasing classics such as The Necrotic Manifesto and Retrogore which somehow managed to surpass that album and showcased what the band is capable of: lifting death metal to a higher level of intensity, atmosphere and brutality.
NUCLEAR BLAST and ABORTED are looking forward to keep pushing the boundaries of high class brutal death metal together in the future!”
Aborted have been one of the most reliable and uncompromising bands in their 26 year history, blending grindcore and death metal with themes of horror, whilst mixing in elements of groove and technical death metal, not once slowing down. With 11 full-length albums under their belt, they have not rested once and continue to push themselves, without a shadow of a doubt, Aborted have carved their place in metal history.
Through the near 30 years of gore-filled aggression, Aborted have also shown their softer side away from the stage with huge active supporting of charity campaigns, being long term members of “Metalheads against Racism”, using partial merch income to donate to the likes of “National Alliance to End Homelessness” and more recently, joining other bands to release a shirt benefiting Ukrainian War refugees.
With many lineup changes through their history, vocalist Sven de Caluwé remains the sole original member. Infinite Terror will see the band debut new guitarist Dan Konradsson.
ABORTED are:
Sven de Caluwé – vocals
Ian Jekelis – guitars
Daniel Konradsson – guitars
Stefano Franceschini – bass
Ken Bedene – drums
