Century Media Records artists ABORTED, ENTOMBED A.D. and BAEST team up for “Hell Over Europe III” Tour in October/November 2019
ABORTED are touring in support of their much-lauded latest album “TerrorVision” (2018) whereas ENTOMBED A.D. will be releasing a new record entitled “Bowels Of Earth” on August 30 th, and BAEST follow up with their second offering “Venenum” on September 13th.
ABORTED comment:
“We are extremely honoured and stoked to announce this year’s Hell over Europe! This time we get to co-headline with one of the genre defining masters ENTOMBED A.D., a band we all grew up listening to and shaped a great deal of our musical career, no more words needed to explain how big of a deal this is to us. And if that wasn’t enough, the mighty BAEST from Denmark will open the hostilities, one of our favorite newcomers of the last years (even if one of their members really just stole Sven’s name and added a ‘d’ to it for god knows what reason) will leave your neck twisted and turned. Come on out to Hell over Europe, the death metal party of the year!!! Oh, we might also have a couple of sweet new surprises for you guys :)”
Sven / ABORTED
ENTOMBED A.D. states:
“With a new album in the bag, which is coming out August 30th, we are going on a European tour with our friends in ABORTED and BAEST! See you on the road headbangers!”
BAEST add:
“Touring with the greats that developed the genre you say? Nah, fat chance! They’re legends. Touring with boundary shattering grind-gods that redefined live shows in the extreme niche? How would that be possible, dear, we are but some Danish newcomers…BOOM, proud to be a part of this bone crushing line-up!”
Svend / BAEST

ABORTED announces HELL OVER NORTH AMERICA tour in March/ April 2019
After the very successful Hell Over Europe tour last year, ABORTED is now bringing the “TerrorVision” to North America.
Sven De Caluwe has this to say:
“Once again we return to North America, this time to spread the devastation of Terrorvision on our first official Hell over North America headline run. We are super stoked to see many familiar faces again on the road on this ambulant blast beat party, so make sure to not miss out, the line up has most of the Hell over Europe bands and was an absolute blast and makes an evening death metal fans shouldn’t miss out on. We couldn’t be more stoked to go out again with our good friends in Cryptopsy and Benighted, as well as watch Stefano die from playing twice a night as we have Hideous Divinity who are also embarking on this run. Two European bands which have never played on American soil, don’t miss out, get your tickets and have a good time with all of us!”

Madness reigns! BENIGHTED deliver the radical soundtrack to these savage times.BENIGHTED were spawned by members from French Death and Black metal bands DISHUMANIZED, DARKNESS FIRE, and OSGILIATH, who joined forces in 1998 for a more brutal, heavy and modern way of expression. When their first self-produced and self-titled full-length hit the streets in 2000, it immediately had a strong impact. This turned a side-project into a main act. A fast-growing fan base was built by a string of acclaimed albums: ‘Psychose’ (2002), ‘Insane Cephalic Production’ (2004), ‘Identisick’ (2006), and ‘Icon’ (2007) were all enthusiastically received. With their latest full-length ‘Necrobreed’, the French sidestepped the steadily growing complexity of their previous albums ‘Asylum Cave’ (2011) and ‘Carnivore Sublime’ (2014) by recalibrating their sound along their roots. ‘Necrobreed’ came based on a theme revolving around the abysmal potential of the human psyche. On the live front, BENIGHTED quickly started to capture audiences with sweat driver performances that bulldozer any resistance mercilessly aside. This allowed the French to climb up the ladder fast and soon came invitations to all major European festivals including Neurotic Death Fest, Hellfest, Wacken, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze, and Inferno Festival among many more. After their 20th anniversary, it was time for BENIGHTED to capture the live madness on ‘Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master’ which not only contains three brand new tracks and the brutal AT THE GATES cover of ‘Slaughter Of The Soul’, but also live recordings with guest musicians such as Sven Decaluwé (ABORTED), Nikita Kamprad (DER WEG EINER FREIHEIT), Arno (BLACK BOMB A), Niklas Kvarforth (SHINING) and Ben Wright (UFATHOMABLE RUINATION). ‘Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master’ gives yet another extreme musical voice to the madness lurking within! www.facebook.com/brutalbenighted

ABORTED video and single of title track of the new album „TerrorVision“ released today
ABORTED have launched the title track of their upcoming album “TerrorVision”, to be released by Century Media Records on September 21st.
Watch the lyric video here: https://youtu.be/JzgSeeLbFls
Sven (vocals) states:
“This song is the title track of the record first off and has Seth Siro Anton from Septic Flesh as guest vocalist. Basically we chose it as a single because it has the dark, dirty vicious atmosphere the album has, it’s fast but also has hooks and a heavy part. Lyrically, it captures the whole concept of the album, which is let’s say looking at the media these days as if it were an ancient ‘evil’ entity in an 80’s horror film that is manipulating the world as puppets.
The album and song talk about a lot of things that have been happening in the last couple of years where the public opinion is clearly being molded and manipulated, there have been studies in communication showing that 55% of communication is non-verbal impact, 38% is verbal communication and the actual message is only important for about 7% of it. I know retarded figures that don’t mean much by themselves if not telling us that people don’t give a fuck about what you’re selling, as long as you package it right and the media/politicians know this all too well. The rise of ISIS has a lot to thank to the media as well, bigotry, racism all tools used by media to remove the eye on the actual problems for the human race as a whole and our planet.
It’s not so death metal in itself, but it’s all packaged in our depraved little aborted sauce of dark humor and gross thesaurus bullshit language while containing a pretty strong message! Enjoy!”
“TerrorVision” tracklist:
1. Lasciate Ogne Speranza (0:54)

Madness reigns! BENIGHTED deliver the radical soundtrack to these savage times. With their new full-length ‘Necrobreed’, the French sidestep the steadily growing complexity of their previous albums ‘Asylum Cave’ (2011) and ‘Carnivore Sublime’ (2014) by re-calibrating their sound along their roots.
‘Necrobreed’ is the result of modern violence combined with an undercurrent of old school feeling. BENIGHTED keep their grinding influences but classic death metal clearly shows through the fabric. Those insane pig squeals are backed-up by massive growling. Crushing riffing and nuclear drumming meet subtle melodies and hidden hooks are fueling the fury.
BENIGHTED were spawned by members from French Death and Black metal bands DISHUMANIZED, DARKNESS FIRE, and OSGILIATH, who joined forces in 1998 for a more brutal, heavy and modern way of expression. When their first self-produced and self-titled full-length hit the streets in 2000, it immediately had a strong impact. This turned a side-project into a main act. A fast-growing fan base was built by a string of acclaimed albums: ‘Psychose’ (2002), ‘Insane Cephalic Production’ (2004), ‘Identisick’ (2006), and ‘Icon’ (2007) were all enthusiastically received.
On the live front, BENIGHTED quickly started to capture audiences with sweat driver performances that bulldozer any resistance mercilessly aside. This allowed the French to climb up the ladder fast and soon came invitations to all major European festivals including Neurotic Death Fest, Hellfest, Wacken, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze, and Inferno Festival among many more.
BENIGHTED recorded ‘Necrobreed’ once again in Germany’s Kohlekeller Studio in continuation of a very successful relationship. The other constant with these brutal death addicts is an album concept that comes based on a theme revolving around the abysmal potential of the human psyche. This time vocalist (and caretaker in a mental asylum) Julien Truchan penned lyrics dealing with a man, who is stitching dead animals to his abdomen. On feeling the warmth of his infected flesh, the schizophrenic “gives birth” to the carcass and places it in his house as the result of a severe childhood trauma involving a dead cat.
‘Necrobreed’ gives an extreme musical voice to the madness lurking within. Let your mind be shaken by BENIGHTED. In case of side effects, please see a doctor.

Madness reigns! BENIGHTED deliver the radical soundtrack to these savage times. With their new full-length ‘Necrobreed’, the French sidestep the steadily growing complexity of their previous albums ‘Asylum Cave’ (2011) and ‘Carnivore Sublime’ (2014) by recalibrating their sound along their roots.’Necrobreed’ is the result of modern violence combined with an undercurrent of old school feeling. BENIGHTED keep their grinding influences but classic death metal clearly shows through the fabric. Those insane pig squeals are backed-up by massive growling. Crushing riffing and nuclear drumming meet subtle melodies and hidden hooks are fuelling the fury.
BENIGHTED were spawned by members from French Death and Black metal bands DISHUMANIZED, DARKNESS FIRE, and OSGILIATH, who joined forces in 1998 for a more brutal, heavy and modern way of expression. When their first self-produced and self-titled full-length hit the streets in 2000, it immediately had a strong impact. This turned a side-project into a main act. A fast-growing fan base was built by a string of acclaimed albums: ‘Psychose’ (2002), ‘Insane Cephalic Production’ (2004), ‘Identisick’ (2006), and ‘Icon’ (2007) were all enthusiastically received.
On the live front, BENIGHTED quickly started to capture audiences with sweat driver performances that bulldozer any resistance mercilessly aside. This allowed the French to climb up the ladder fast and soon came invitations to all major European festivals including Neurotic Death Fest, Hellfest, Wacken, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze, and Inferno Festival among many more.
BENIGHTED recorded ‘Necrobreed’ once again in Germany’s Kohlekeller Studio in continuation of a very successful relationship. The other constant with these brutal death addicts is an album concept that comes based on a theme revolving around the abysmal potential of the human psyche. This time vocalist (and caretaker in a mental asylum) Julien Truchan penned lyrics dealing with a man, who is stitching dead animals to his abdomen. On feeling the warmth of his infected flesh, the schizophrenic “gives birth” to the carcass and places it in his house as the result of a severe childhood trauma involving a dead cat.
‘Necrobreed’ gives an extreme musical voice to the madness lurking within. Let your mind be shaken by BENIGHTED. In case of side effects, please see a doctor.
