Belgium's ABORTED, whose last album The Archaic Abattoir was called "an epic in its own right" (Outburn), have begun working on a DVD and writing their next CD, tentatively titled Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture.
Founder and vocalist Sven De Caluwe had this to say, "Work is proceeding well on the 'The Auricular Chronicles' DVD which is set to be released by October through Listenable Records. Previews will be posted online by the end of the summer on both websites & One O One (www.oneOone.fr, who are doing an amazing job putting together the footage so far!). Artwork for this release will be in the hands of SPINA studios, who did the last Leng Tch'e record. As stated, the DVD will contain an hour-long live show shot in Paris with 13 cameras, sound remixed by Tue Madsen. The DVD features video clips, backstage shenanigans, other live shows, interviews with all the band members and more.
"THE NEW ALBUM... We're right in the middle of the writing process, and middle is the right word since we have half of the record written so far and things are going pretty smoothly. The follow-up to The Archaic Abattoir has been baptized Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture. This slab of gore will be recorded at Tue Madsen's Antfarm Studios (Himsa, Kataklysm) & should see a worldwide release in spring 2007 on Century Media Records. Some song titles so far are: "The Chondrin Enigma," "Prolific Murder Contrivance," "Archetype: Malice and Scorn," "Avenious," "The Spaying Séance" and more. So far the material is a mixture of the last 2 records, adding a notch of brutality & diversity. Artwork will again be handled by Killustrations (Severe Torture, Nightingales) & should revolve around a concept to be revealed later. Besides all these exciting things, we are most honored & pleased to announce that the album will feature guest appearances by no less than Jeff Walker (Carcass), Barney Greenway (Napalm Death) and some other surprises, stay tuned!!"
Last year ABORTED toured North America with Suffocation, Cryptopsy and Despised Icon. Look for more album details when the band enters the studio later this year.
