Belgian deathgrind outfit Aborted has revealed the title of their upcoming album as “Vault Of Horrors.” The highly-anticipated release is scheduled for March 15th via Nuclear Blast, featuring a star-studded lineup of guests. The album’s first single, “Death Cult,” is now available online, with a music video going live later today as well (10 am EST).
The track includes a guest appearance by Alex Erian, the vocalist of Despised Icon. Produced by Dave Otero (known for his work with Allegaeon and Cattle Decapitation), “Death Cult” draws inspiration from the iconic 1974 horror film, ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.’
In reference to this, it was stated:
‘With each of these 10 new tracks, Aborted dives deep into the vaults of VHS cassettes and stories that have been haunting us all for decades. Each song pays tribute to a horror cult classic and ranges from obligatory cuts such as ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’ (to be found on ‘Death Cult‘) or ‘Halloween‘ (‘The Shape Of Hate‘) to the more recent ‘The Mist‘ to be discovered on “Malevolent Haze‘.
True to themselves, it wouldn’t be an Aborted reference without an odious homage to none other than shit daemon ‘The Golgothan’ (sadly defeated by Silent Bob through the use of deodorant, cheeky bastard!).
“Vault of Horrors” is an epic journey where listeners are thrust into a world of intense brutality, characterized by lightning-fast guitar riffs, intricate, pummeling drum patterns and monstrous vocals that leave no room for respite.’
