For the first time ever on vinyl with special vinyl mastering. Black Vinyl with heavy cover and insert. Belgian death metal veterans Aborted delivered the goods with the EP “La Grande Mascarade” – and now it’s finally available on vinyl. Three tracks that showed the band still knew how to bring the pain after all these years, without forgetting their roots. The EP worked perfectly as an appetizer between full albums, delivering exactly what Aborted fans wanted: technical perfection paired with the raw intensity that has made them one of Europe’s most important extreme metal bands for years. The opener “Gloom and the Art of Tribulation” set the tone immediately – nearly five minutes where technical death metal was skillfully woven together with dark, atmospheric passages. “Serpent of Depravity” and “Funereal Malediction” maintained the standard effortlessly, featuring the precise riffs and Sven de Caluw’s unmistakable vocal style that the scene has respected for years. Each track demonstrated that Aborted had mastered their craft perfectly: blast beats met complex guitar work, brutal breakdowns alternated with technical finesse. The whole thing was produced so that both the technical details came through and the raw aggression that defines the Aborted sound. This first-time vinyl pressing brings out the full force of the band particularly well – a must-have for anyone who takes their extreme metal collection seriously.
