Aborted - Strychnine.213 MC

“Strychnine.213” is the sixth album by Belgian death metal band Aborted, released on June 20, 2008.

The album showcases Aborted’s blend of slightly more melodic death/grind tremolo against old-school, slow death metal riffs, with occasional forays into metalcore breakdowns and US-style melodeath riffing.

Notably, the track “A Murmur in Decrepit Wits” features a sample from a 1980s interview with Charles Manson. “Carrion” opens the album with a brief, intense burst of aggression. Followed by tracks such as “Ophiolatry on a Hemocite Platter” or “Pestiferous Subterfuge”, Aborted underline their relentless brutality and technical finesse.

The album closes with a cover of Pantera’s “Slaughtered”, paying homage to the metal giants.
