Many a Century Media employee gulped during presentations or looked slightly ashamed to the ground when the tastelessly named Aborted were once again the first band name to top list XY in alphabetical order due to the letter combination "Ab". To the chagrin of meek music fans and to the delight of their steadily growing mass of supporters worldwide, they sound like that too! Ultra brutal, mercilessly precise and on their now 9th album inspiringly compact, in the grandiose guitar work even very melodic and despite impressive playing technique never confused or self-indulgent. No wonder - they skillfully process influences from Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Carcass into a sound that is also devastating live The fantastically drawn artwork, the charming 80s horror references in the booklet, the musical inventiveness have lifted Aborted above other genre representatives for years, and their agile, dedicated stage presence was able to inspire countless new fans just recently on tour with Kataklysm. "Retrogore" is contemporary death metal in perfection that will blow you away!
