In this world where there are many ways to die... there are even more ways to kill! Sonic mass murderers ABORTED have elaborately focused on this grim reality since their inception back in 1995 and return to once again to underline this fact on their eighth studio album, The Necrotic Manifesto. Founding member and vocalist Sven "Svencho" de Caluwe reveals that conceptually?"the album is our own take on the sordid tales of the Necronomicon, the "book of the dead", of a corpse drowned in a tepid sauce made of gore and fun, covered with a good old 80's slasher vibe."?
Delicious gory fun aside, musically speaking, ABORTED have always meant dead serious-death metal business. Delivering aural blows with maximum versatility, hard-hitting brutality and dead-on delivery, ABORTED have successfully melted together the sounds of Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Entombed and many more while retaining their own signature sound and visual identity.

Production on The Necrotic Manifesto was once again handled by Jacob Hansen, who had already sharpened his skills on 2003's gore-classic Goremageddon and returned to the sonic helm... on 2011's Global Flatline. Visually, the albums concept was congenially transformed by Par Olofsson, who has gained fame by working with acts such as The Faceless, Exodus, Immolation, Pathology, Immortal and many more. The Necrotic Manifesto continues in the tradition of its predecessors, guaranteeing you maximum gore metal pleasure while taking you on a romp through a mind riddled with murderous depravity.
Also on the menu for The Necrotic Manifesto, ABORTED have fiendishly concocted a few macabre surprises in order to spice up their recent killing spree with some ever so tasteful bonus-carnage: First up, guest vocals delivered by Vincent Benett (The Acacia Strain) on "Your Entitlement Means Nothing" and Phlegeton (Wormed) on "Excremental Veracity." Second course will be sweet as rot cover versions of "Funeral Inception" (Suffocation), "Concubine" (Converge) and "Arise" (Sepultura), which will be spread across various formats. Speaking of formats, from the minds of the sick, an entire card game invented and designed by the band themselves, which will accompany the album's limited edition. Svencho details:?"The card game starts off with my humble self finding the "Necrotic Manifesto" at a truck stop while taking a dump on tour, reading out passages and unleashing hell on earth. Through the card game players will take on the role of either a band member or a crew member and will have to defeat the legions of hell alongside their maniacal leader: the doctor! All presented with a good dose of dark humor, horror and tons of internal jokes... players will not only be treated to a one of a kind game but in turn, get to know the members of the band a bit better and on a more personal level."

With The Necrotic Manifesto, ABORTED will hack, slash, cut, grind, blast, groove, crush, rip, tear, destroy and kill in every way humanly possible. Intensity - check, brutality - check, technicality - check, inhuman savage vocals - check, keyboards - nope, bittersweet melodies - hell no, folk elements - get outta here?!?! THIS is ABORTED and the The Necrotic Manifesto will truly make you want to pack a clean pair of underwear because you are guaranteed to soil your drawers from the onslaught of pure, unrelenting brutality!
Ready to shed blood and spread gallons of guts across the globe, the live Armageddon known as ABORTED will begin their global domination with a tour the US with Kataklysm in April, followed by European release shows in May before heading out to perform selected mass executions during 2014 festival season. So, better believe the self appointed "Gurgloroth"?Sven de Caluwe when he says?"get ready mankind, ABORTED is coming right at ya!"
