With their ability to compose and perform an uncompromising mix of death metal and grindcore, complemented with provocative artwork and merchandise designs, Aborted became an essential pioneer of the extreme metal scene and released 11 successful full-length albums since forming in 1995 while gathering a huge, loyal global following.
They celebrated the band’s 25th Anniversary Show in 2020 on board of the world’s biggest metal cruise 70.000 Tons Of Metal, and apart from that have always been active building their own brand by releasing their signature hot sauce, action figures and collector’s toys, and even offer their own coffee brand or beach flipflops.
Despite the heaviness and gory nature of their music, Aborted actively supported charity campaigns or donated parts of their merchandise income to “National Alliance To End Homelessness”, teamed up with other bands to launch a shirt in benefit to the Ukrainian war refugees, and have also been a long term member of “Metalheads Against Racism”.
With the latest album ‘ManiaCult’, Aborted entered the German charts on #33 and US Current Hard Music Albums on #7, while ‘TerrorVision’ had entered the US Billboard Charts on #4 (Heatseeker) and #9 (Current Hard Music). After releasing music and playing worldwide tours for almost 30 years, mastermind Sven De Caluwe and his band still push their musical boundaries and reinvent themselves constantly.
