A band going in the right direction with this album.November 6, 2008 Sweden Is God This album is a very vibrant mix of a few metal genre's including gore, grind, melodic death, and thrash. It came as a welcome surprise for me because I had always known about Aborted but was never interested as they seemed like yet another splatter metal band, which I do not prefer. The only band I personally listen to that can be considered comparable to Aborted on this album is Avulsed, who has always tried to mix melody and catchiness with the gore.
This album has outstanding guitar work, especially when it comes to the leads which shimmer in their melodic brilliance in many, many songs on this cd. The drummer has always been topnotch. He doesn't blast for no apparent reason at all or give you nothing but a flam/roll-fest that adds absolutelly nothing to the musical direction(unfortunatelly too many "extreme" drummers have no sense of taste when it comes to what goes where in a composition). He is quite skilled and shines on this album. The vocalists are outstanding for the genre as well and there is some great shadowplay between the different styles used during any given song.
The album itself is strong throughout. I found myself loving every minute of it from start to finish. There are no fillers. The only weak point is perhaps the lyrics, but eh, who really cares. No one listens to underground music for the lyrics in general, its about the music.
All in all I hope that Aborted keeps it up with their next release and brings it to the next level. If they do, they deserve to be ranked amongst some of todays best metal acts. Recommended to fans of Gore Metal, Thrash, and Melodic Death. It can easily please anyone into any of these genre's.
