Aborym was formed by vocalist/bassist Malfeitor Fabban as early as '92! Originally, the band started out as a cover band performing old Mayhem, Celtic Frost and Dark Throne tunes as well as others. In '93 the band released their first demo tape entitled Worshipping Damned Souls, which sold an astounding 700 copies. By the way, if you know where I can get one, I'll murder someone for it! After a four year break the band returned in '97 with new members in tow and landed a deal with Scarlet Records. '99 saw the band release Kali Yuga Bizarre. Mayhem frontman, Attila Csihar, joined the band as a special guest on the album and in doing so helped the band push over five thousand copies of the cd. Shortly after, Yorga left the band and Csihar replaced him as lead vocalist! '01 marked the release of the band's most popular disc to date, Fire Walk with Us. Seemingly, this disc put the band on the map and left a pile of music journalists/fans such as myself in a heap of bloody and broken bones. While the iron was hot, the band struck again in '02 with the release of With No Human Intervention. Again this album was a masterpiece and it featured quite a few special guest appearances from people like R. Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest) and Faust (Dissection and Emperor). Now all of this juicy info brings us up to the current day.

February of '06 marked the release of Aborym's fourth album entitled Generator. Sadly, it also marked the farewell of Atilla Csihar as lead vocalist. Aparrently he felt the urge to join Mayhem again; no harm no foul. Prime Evil of Mysticum/Amok has taken over as lead vocalist and I'm not crying about it, the band couldn't have picked a better replacement. In some ways, I prefer Evil's work on Generator over anything Csihar has done with the band. The release of Generator also see's drummer, Faust commit to a full time position in the band, now they can go on tour! I'm not sure what I was expecting with the release of this album, over the last few years I've kind of gotten lost in the Cult Black Metal scene and forgot about the band. Thankfully, it didn't take me long to warm back up the band and their spectacular breed of Industrialized Black Metal. The band drops nine tracks of devastatingly beautiful music directly from the left-hand black. The production and studio wizardry on the disc is magnificent, you won't find Black Metal with this slick of a sound outside Cradle Of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. Nevertheless, the violence and demonic charged vibes aren't lost at all, if anything they're more in your face than ever. The guitar/lead work in a few of the tunes is fucking insane! "Ruinrama Kolossal S.P.Q.R.", "Suffer Catalyst" and title track, "Generator" are laced with enough leads/riffs to blow up an entire continent. "Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea", features a disco breakdown done with synths and while I normally wouldn't care for this kind of stuff, it makes me flat out slap-happy! My personal favorite of them all is "Suffer Catalyst". To me it features the best of everything the band has to offer; tempo changes, breakdowns and the ability to explode in a split second. I'm also very enlightened by the Charles Manson samples that were added in the breakdown. I can't help but feel that it sounds just like George W. Bush, which I find quite ironic due to the content in which Manson says "What Do You Wanna Call Me A Murderer For, I Never Killed Anyone, I Don't Need To Kill Anyone".

While the music on Generator may not appeal to the Black Metal purists, it damned sure appeals to me! As a matter of fact, I'd love nothing more than to see this album win a damned Grammy. It's that good. I don't care what kind of extreme music you prefer, I recommend picking up this cd, it's a mindfuck and a whole lot more.
