5.0 out of 5 stars Defining the term "Melodic Death Metal"., March 17, 2007

I like the changes Aborted have taken. I do appreciate their more melodic approach. Sure, they are a little less grinding than in the past. But their riffs keep getting more and more memorable. They sound more directional with each release. And this one follows their natural progression. They haven't become softer. they have become more dynamic. The vocals still rage from intense growls to sweet highs. The product is better than before as Tue Madsen is improving his sound by taming his overly-digital sound to have a bit more of a warm edge, without sounding lo-fi by any means. And you can't bypass the killer guest spots of drumming from the Psycroptic guy, and Jeff Walker vocals.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection, Thy Name Is Aborted, March 7, 2007

I always thought of Aborted to be one of the most interesting death metal bands to ever come up. They don't carbon copy other bands, and their vocalist Sven has an amazing vocal range. On "Slaughter and Apparatus", Aborted continues with the melodic/brutal mix style that they did well with on "The Archaic Abbatoir" and they still do a magnificent job at it. With some crushing riffs in their music, how could you resist? Don't forget the guest vocals by Carcass's own Jeff Walker on "Odious Emanation". Recommended if you enjoyed Goremageddon and The Archaic Abbatoir.

5.0 out of 5 stars Redifined the genre!!!, April 13, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture (Audio CD)

What an album!!!! Aborted really changes through time, injecting more melody in each song with catchy guitar riffs. Like the "Archaic's Abbatoir" the drums are fast that you can't believe, the bass lines makes a great contribution.!!! Death metal album of the year!!!
