Aborted steamroll through Serpent of Depravity in this jaw-dropping grindcore playthrough

At Guitar World, we endeavor to showcase the very best metal playthroughs. On today's menu, we have Belgian grindcore five-piece, Aborted. They have all the hallmarks of a top-of-their-game modern death-metal band: down-tuned riffs, dissonant chords, furious blast beats and screams so guttural they could summon demons - but they add their own exciting sonic flavor.
