Album Review

Aborted - "Gormageddon"

This is an old album from the death metal stalwarts Aborted. "Goremageddon" came out in 2003 and these Belgian BDM heroes brought the pain with this intensly graphic album of brutal lyrics and even more brutal riffs. The album starts off with Meticulous Invagination, and the song is just as intense as the title suggests. The song is about a killer and how he actually kills, with graphic descriptions of his actions. With lyrical content such as this, the music has to be just as vehement, and it is. The double bass blast beats and the gruff vocals help push the album to extremes not seen by many of the band's contemporaries. The savagery of this album is just a pleasure to listen to. For those that are still listening to just metalcore or deathcore, this is a must listen to album. Some say that Aborted is a deathcore band but I see them as more of a band that lead to deathcore. It is not riddled with breakdowns and pig squeals, it is pure and simple brtual death metal. This is an album to get angry with in all its glory.
