Belgian death metal band Aborted is set to release their new album Vault of Horrors on March 15th, with a fresh single "Death Cult" already breaking bones and blistering flesh.

The album is a collection of ten tracks, each paying homage to a different horror movie classic. The band has invited numerous guest vocalists, including Ben Duerr (Shadow Of Intent), Francesco Paoli (Fleshgod Apocalypse), Johnny Ciardullo (Carcosa/Angelmaker), and others, to contribute to this unique project.

Aborted, known for their relentless intensity and technical prowess, has been a pioneering force in the death metal genre since their formation in 1995. Over the years, they have evolved their sound, incorporating more technical elements into their music while maintaining their brutal core.

The band has collaborated with producer Dave Otero for Vault of Horrors. This partnership has resulted in a full production, with each member contributing to the album's creation in Otero's studio.

"Vault of Horrors" not only showcases Aborted's musical evolution but also their deep appreciation for horror cinema. From classics like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to more recent films like The Mist, each song on the album is a nod to a different horror story, complete with easter eggs for fans to discover.
