UMUR
"Termination Redux" is an EP release by Belgian death metal act Aborted. The EP was released through Century Media Records in January 2016. Aborted have existed since 1995 and are among the most prolific death metal acts out of Belgium both in terms of popularity but certainly also when it comes to putting out releases and touring.

"Termination Redux" is the sound of Aborted as we know them. Brutal and technically well played death metal with snarling higher pitched aggressive vocals and deeper growling vocals. There is good rhythmic variation, sharp riffing, and melodic solos featured in the music. The material on the 5 track, 15:17 minutes long EP is of a high quality but also a bit one-dimensional and predictable. Aborted has a fairly distinct sounding death metal style, and that´s always great, but they only deviate very little from that core style, and a bit more variation in the songwriting department could have done the trick.

"Liberate Me Ex-Inferis" is a short intro and then three new original compositions follow. "The Holocaust Re-Incarnate" which closes the EP is a re-recorded version of "The Holocaust Incarnate" which originally appeared on "Engineering the Dead (2001)". "Termination Redux" features a sound production that´s in the better end of productions on Aborted´s releases, and the musicianship is also on a high level on all posts, so all in all "Termination Redux" is another quality death metal release by Aborted. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
