As such, he fired everyone in 2009 and got a completely new lineup in the form of Ken Sorceron, Eran Segal (guitars), and Cole Martinez (bass), along with the return of Verbeuren, though Martinez only stuck around for the recording of the ''Coronary Reconstruction'' EP, with JB van der Wal taking over for him. Verbeuren left again in 2010 and was replaced with Ken Bedene, a young student of the drum extraordinaire Mike Heller. Sorceron then left in 2011 and was replaced by Mike Wilson, one of his Abigail Williams bandmates. Recording for a new album started around this time, and the band began to post teasers of it. It was some time during this that van der Wal left, however, and was replaced with Kevin Lary for live shows. Finally, at the beginning of 2012, ''Global Flatline'' hit to positive reviews, pushing them back into the limelight; it was also during that year that Wilson and Segal left and were replaced by [[Music/{{GodDethroned}} Danny Tunker]] and Mendel bij de Leij, with van der Wal rejoining sometime after.

** ''Engineering the Dead'' sort of averts this trope now that it's been remastered to sound more like their later work, but ''The Purity of Perversion'' still suffers from this, as it is not only rawer, but is fairly standard brutal death that contains very little of the band's trademark elements.

Aborted is a Belgian brutal death metal band. Characterized by their prominent goregrind influences and the instantly recognizable vocals of mainman Sven de Caluwe, Aborted has worked their way up over the years into becoming one of the biggest names in brutal death metal.

Formed in Beveren, East Flanders in 1995 by Sven de Caluwe (vocals), the band was initially a one-man project that was not intended to be a serious project, but Sven eventually welcomed in Niek Verstraete (guitars), Koen Verstraete (bass), and Steven Logie (drums) in 1997, though Logie left the following year and was replaced by Frank Rosseau; in addition, Christophe Herreman joined in as the second guitarist, creating the ''The Purity of Perversion'' lineup. Herreman left in 2000 and was replaced with Thijs de Cloedt the following year. This was the same year that ''Engineering the Dead'' hit to widespread acclaim, creating a great deal of interest and setting the stage for Aborted to become the next big thing in death metal. The Verstraete brothers left the following year, however, with Bart Vergaert and Frederic Vanmassenhove replacing them on their respective guitar and bass spots. Rosseau then left not long after as well, with up-and-coming virtuoso drummer Dirk Verbeuren taking his place. This lineup went on to record ''Goremageddon: The Saw and the Carnage Done'', which was instantly hailed as a modern-day classic and firmly catapulted them into the limelight. Verbeuren could not stick around for long due to his myriad other obligations, however, and so Gilles Delecroix was drafted to replace him. ''The Archaic Abattoir'' followed in 2005, though the reaction was decidedly more lukewarm due to subtle but noticeable metalcore influences. Cloedt and Vergaert left that same year and were replaced by Stephane Souteyrand and Sebastian Tuvi, though the former left in less than a year and was in turn replaced by Matty Dupont. What followed over the next few albums was an absolutely ludicrous amount of lineup shifts, with many people lasting for less than a year before departing for one reason or another. After the very poor reception that 2008's deathcore-tinged ''Strychnine.213'' received, Caluwe decided that it was time to start everything over with Aborted.

As such, he fired everyone in 2009 and got a completely new lineup in the form of Ken Sorceron, Eran Segal (guitars), and Cole Martinez (bass), along with the return of Verbeuren, though Martinez only stuck around for the recording of the ''Coronary Reconstruction'' EP, with JB van der Wal taking over for him. Verbeuren left again in 2010 and was replaced with Ken Bedene, a young student of the drum extraordinaire Mike Heller.

* RevolvingDoorBand: They've always had steady lineup changes, but come 2005 or 2006, they started going through at least two of them ''a year''.
* SignatureStyle: Jumpy riffs with heavy use of blastbeats, frequent melodic overtones, vocals that go from a deep roar to a yelping screech, and heavy use of movie samples, particularly from the Hellraiser series.
* SopranoAndGravel: Sven can go from a low roar to a high yelping shriek.
* SpecialGuest: Most of their albums have at least two or three; listing them all would be exhausting. Sven is also a pretty frequent contributor with other bands.
