In terms of released material it has been almost 10 years since i’ve listened to Belgium’s Aborted with any earnest.
“Engineering the dead” and “Goremageddon: the saw and the damage done” offered a brutal and satisfying taste of the bands earlier work that was quickly tarnished with the release of 2005’s “The Archaic Abattoir”. 2007’s “Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture” had me initially excited after hearing that Aussie drummer Dave Haley (Psycroptic) had played session drums on it, but any hopes were quickly sent packing before even half of the album had been heard in its duration. Disappointed, I gave their next effort “Strychnine.213” a wide berth.
