Aborted, formed in 1995, is a Belgian death metal band. Founded by vocalist Sven de Caluwé, who was able to find additional members in 1997, they released a demo tape and eventually got the band signed to their first deal on UXICON records. Since then the band has released two splits (on Soulreaper Records and Bones Brigade, respectively), five full albums, an EP and a DVD on French label Listenable Records. Aborted are currently signed to Century Media and have toured with such acts as Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy, Grave, Hatesphere, Immolation, Impaled, Kataklysm, Krisiun, Morbid Angel and Suffocation.
In 2007 a unique fanbase for Aborted was born under the collective name of the Aborted Army. Organised primarily for the attendance at the metal festival Hellfest Summer Open Air, the Aborted Army soon made a name for themselves and has since grown to include many worldwide members. The Aborted Army are a loyal fanbase who attend Aborted shows dressed in blood splattered surgical gear such as surgical masks and gloves. The inspiration for this was taken from the 2003 release of the album Goremageddon: The Saw and the Carnage Done which included a demented surgeon on the cover artwork. The Aborted Army are constantly adding new members to their ranks via their MySpace page and festival forums.
