"The Necrotic Manifesto" is the 8th full-length studio album by Belgian death metal act Aborted. The album was released through Century Media Records in April 2014. "The Necrotic Manifesto" was preceeded in March 2014 by the appetizer EP "Scriptures of the Dead", which features the title track from "The Necrotic Manifesto" and a cover of "Arise" by Sepultura. The regular version of the album features 14 tracks, but there is a limited edition available which features three bonus tracks.

Stylistically you are not in for many surprises with "The Necrotic Manifesto" which more or less continues where "Global Flatline (2012)" left off. Technically well played gore themed death metal with obvious references in the vocal department to early 90s Carcass (one high pitched sneering vocal style and one deep growling vocal style). The same can be said about the melodic guitar solos on the album which also reek of the British legends. That has however more or less been the case since "The Archaic Abattoir (2005)" so no real surprise there either.

But while Aborted don´t get a medal for being original, they get one for the convincing delivery of their music, the professional songwriting and the powerful sound production. The tracks aren´t always easy to tell apart and Aborted could arguably gain points by incorporating a few more memorable moments in their tracks, but on the other hand you have to admire their uncompromising nature. So while there are few highlights on the album the quality of the material are generally high. One of the standout tracks is the closing track "Cenobites", which features a rearranged theme from the soundtrack to the "Hellraiser (1987)" movie and samples from the movie too. Entombed already did something similar on the "Hellraiser" track off the "Hollowman (1993)" EP, but Aborted put their own twist on the famous Clive Barker story.

Upon conclusion "The Necrotic Manifesto" is yet another quality death metal release by Aborted. It doesn´t add anything new to their sound and in that respect it´s a bit of a "safe" release, but fans of the band should be pleased and if you´re new to the band this is not the worst place to start your Aborted journey either. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
