Aborted - Coronary Reconstruction [2010] (Brutal Death Metal)
Lable : Century Media
This was the first time I heard stuff from the Belgium based death metal-lers, Aborted. From seeing their releases so far and the reviews that the releases have earned, I guess that they are a pretty well known band amongst avid death metal fans. Before I begin, let me say that band has not failed to impress me. Well, let's move on.
The song-writing on this album is sick. Lot's tempo changes, breakdowns and buil-ups and much diversity present. And the songs feel well constructed too and generally flow well. The vocals are really sick (in a good manner ofcourse!). There are different types of vocals present on this EP rather than a single type, monotonous vocal type. There are growls and some screeches (which are really good) and I think an unique type of gasping/growling vocals. The vocals really stood out!
The guitarists play a lot of different riffs and a song is never based on a single riff. There are fast riffs and there are slow riffs. Some tremolo picked riffs which are fast and some pedal type, palm muted riffs which ensure a lot of head-banging! The leads kick ass too. The solos completely fit in with the songs and are fast and memorable too.
The drummer is awesome. From rythymic parts to blast beats, he does it all! There are a lot of fills too which mingle in well with the rest of the instruments. The bass guitar though is nearly inaudible. Where the fault lies is the production. Like many death metal bands, the bass is completely drowned out, as mentioned before. The guitars should have been a little high too.
Apart from the production the fault, this EP is quite good. Though there are a couple of weak riffs, the EP manages to hold your attention till the end. The Entombed cover is icing on the cake! Not something to kill for, but pick it up if you come across it.
