Aborted has been around since 1995, and released their first two albums in 1999 and 2001. In celebration of the former, Aborted vocalist Sven de Caluwé tells Heavy New York the band will re-record some songs from 1999's The Purity of Perversion and 2001's Engineering the Dead alongside some new tracks for an upcoming anniversary release.
"Since it's [the] anniversary this year — 20 years since our first album — we wanted to do something special, so we're actually going to use, I think, one of the three tracks that we really, really like on that release. We're writing another bunch of new songs that we think are pretty cool, and then we'll re-record a bunch of songs from the first two albums to do a sort of anniversary kind of release to celebrate the 20 years, and to also give the fans something new."
Aborted parted ways with guitarist Mendel bij de Leij this year and have not replaced him just yet, leaving Ian Jekelis as the band's sole guitarist.
