aborted - termination redux

shortly after i pre-ordered the latest ignite record, preorders for the new aborted e.p. popped up. as i am a fan of this belgian grind machine, i didn't ask any questions and picked a copy of the limited colour vinyl. i e-mailed the cm-guys asking them to ship both pre-orders together, even if it meant that i would recieve the ignite lp after its release date. it all took even longer than the actual aborted release date because the mailorder guy got the flu.
no real problem in the end. i don't mind waiting a bit longer, especially with those increased pre-order waiting times these days. but now to the content of this ten inch platter. it's a warm-up release for their up-coming full length 'retrogore' that will drop the coming month. the five songs of this e.p. are just of that style that aborted perfected the last six years since 'coronary reconstruction' from 2010. technical death metal with the right dosage grind metal and sinister harmonies.
check out the disturbing yet still attractive video to the title song 'termination redux' and you will see what i am talking about. there are four colour-ways of that e.p. out there with the best looking being a neon clear orange. i don't know where those were available because century media europe only offered the clear version. anyway, at least my version was the most limited out of 100 copies. seek discogs for detailed pressing info. really looking forward to the full length! century media. 2016.
