ABORTED‘s 9th full length crusher, Retrogore, will be hauled from the grave on April 22nd, 2016 and fans should expect nothing less than one of thee most relentless and fiercest albums from Belgium’s favorite gore-mongers to date! This new offering will not only combine elements from ABORTED‘s trademark sound but will also add in some carefully selected new ingredients proving why Retrogore is truly a bloody chunk of raw and rotten meat, refined with creepy melodies and sinister atmosphere… but hey, the proof is in the pudding right? Well, sit down and get ready for a heaping helping of what the new album has to offer with the title track, “Retrogore” premiering exclusively via MetalSucks.

Sven de Caluwe, ABORTED front man, comments on the new song and album:
“Here it is ghouls and maniacs! The first, opening track and title track to our fine new little piece of auricular mayhem called RETROGORE. A profound little diddy that somewhat recalls the finesse and tactfulness of Monty Python’s ‘The meaning of life’ or as we shall call it our own ‘The meaning of Death(metal)’. You see, folks, there are blast beats, there are ridiculously fast kicks all over the place, really, really, reaallly dark melodies to make you churn and some shredding for those who like that thing called musicianship. To top it off we have myself puking all over it in a fashion that would make Cookie monster cringe and Kim Kardashian shake that big ole butt of hers. In other words, it’s Aborted, it’s uncensored gooey, gory fun for the whole family! Enter the nostalgic world of RETROGORE and don’t be a chump, get a pre order and be part of something that will bring you joy and happiness, for at least one hour! Guaranteed!”
