S.09 E.18 – Sven de Caluwe of Aborted

Send us Fan MailThis episode begins with a brief moment of silence for the late great Joey Jordison. RIP Joey.It's been 25 years since Belgian death metal masters Aborted have entered this world of creating headbanging chaos, and they have shown no signs of letting up within that storied timeline. Their 11th album, “Maniacult,” is set to unleash soon and we get the chance to sit with the monstrous talented frontman, Sven de Caluwe. Sven takes us back to the origins of “Maniacult,” which stemmed from the creation of an action figure made by the band themselves. Creating music from a toy line is quite the story, and the guys from Aborted are all within this creative outlet. The band has always been well loved by their fans and are also known for being nerds who don't take themselves too seriously, and needless to say, that's a good thing. Add in the technical riffs, the brutality of the drums, and the vicious growls from Sven's vocals, and it's been the level of constant success they have always found a way to maintain, and love doing what they do at the same time. Even though Aborted has had its share of lineup changes, it's been the least of all challenges for Sven, as he is the original sole member left. Sven has always had this everlasting passion for what he does, and it's certainly caught on to the rest of his bandmates. “Maniacult” also serves as an example of the band raising the bar for themselves yet again, and it's something fresh the fans will be moshing to. Another new Aborted album, yet all original. Tune in now to our conversation with Sven and be sure to buy and stream Aborted's 11th highly-anticipated studio album, “Maniacult,” dropping September 10 via Century Media Records.Stay connected with Aborted, visit: https://goremageddon.be/, https://www.facebook.com/Abortedofficial, and https://www.instagram.com/abortedmetal/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/
