Very true. The funny thing is that we Frenchies always put Aborted in the "French finest metal bands" group, and we forget they're from Belgium
Actually for some of us Belgium is somehow a region of France or something
Anyway the band has a French guitar player and an English drummer so they're not that Belgian
Back to the thread i loved the last album and the production (i love how "live" it sounds).
But for those who don't know their first efforts they are badass as well, in a different genre though.
Purity of perversion -> great songs but very poor production
Engineering the dead -> pure twisted brutal death/grind awesomeness. My favourite so far (the one that got me into the band actually).
Goremaggedon -> new evolution with the band, good but still not there. Not a fan of Jacob Hansen's production
The Archaïc Abattoir -> on this one the new Aborted style (more modern but with a lot of Carcass influences as well) is combined with badass songwriting and production (i'm not a fan of Tue MAdsen's stuff in general but on this one he did a killer job)
Slaughter & Apparatus -> back to something a bit darker and more brutal but with poor songwriting IMO. Sounds like poor B-sides of the Archaïc Abattoir. Never liked that one.
Strychnine 213 -> new evolution again (same style since Goremaggedon but even more modern and with a very special vibe throughout the album and a very good use of melody, especially in solos). Great songs, great production.
So my top 3 is:
1) Engineering the dead 2) Strychnine 213 3)the Archaïc abattoir
