The current lineup also includes Ian Jekelis (guitar), Stefano Franceschini (bass), Ken Bedene (drums), and Harrison Patuto (guitar).

How to Sound Like Aborted
Aborted's sound is characterized by its aggressive and precise instrumentation, creating a relentless auditory assault. The guitars often employ low-tuned, heavily distorted tones, which are enhanced by high-gain amplifiers to achieve their crushing heaviness. Blast beats and rapid double bass drumming dominate the percussion, adding to the intensity and velocity of their tracks. The vocal approach combines guttural growls with high-pitched screams, contributing to the visceral impact of their music. For musicians aiming to emulate Aborted's ferocity, focusing on the integration of complex riffing, tight rhythmic precision, and dynamic tempo shifts is crucial. Utilizing digital effects processors to fine-tune tone and sustain can further replicate the band's punishing and intricate sound.
