Many a Century Media employee swallowed during presentations or looked slightly ashamed at the floor when the letter combination "Ab" was once again the first band name to top list XY in alphabetical order. To the chagrin of mild-mannered music fans and to the delight of their ever-growing mass of supporters worldwide, they sound like it! Ultra-brutal, mercilessly precise and on their 9th album inspiringly compact, in the grandiose guitar work even very melodic and despite impressive playing technique never confused or narcissistic. No wonder - they skillfully process influences from Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse and Carcass into a devastating sound even live. The fantastically drawn artwork, the charming 80s horror allusions in the booklet, the musical inventiveness have lifted Aborted above other genre representatives for years and their agile, committed 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!
