Significant events have involved Aborym since the release of the previous "With No Human Intervention" (2002) to today: to begin with, the label change from our own Code666 to the great Season Of Mist, and then the line-up changes that, with Attila Csihar's return to MayheM and Seth Teitan's full involvement with Dissection, left Malfeitor Fabban and Nysrok's band needing to rebuild half of the line-up.
No problem, our guys must have thought, it's the right occasion to refresh the stylistic coordinates of the combo: and so here comes Prime Evil on vocals, known as the guitarist of the legendary Mysticum, a singer with a malevolent and evocative voice that has little to envy to abyss celebrators like Maniac, and finally a drummer in flesh and bones behind the drums (and what a drummer!), a certain Bard "Faust" Eithun… Thus renewed, the band was ready to continue a discography of absolute importance that, starting from the splendors of the debut "Kali Yuga Bizarre" in 1999, led the capital combo to international recognition with the devastating third and previous work.
The 2006 marked Aborym are a solid, aggressive, violent band and once again capable of astonishing their fans and detractors with an outstanding performance in which the classic stylistic coordinates are once more reinterpreted and expanded to include new sonic horizons that, we are certain, will once more dictate the evolutionary future of the genre. The classic Aborym sound, made of a violent and hypnotic Black Metal, dominated by the passion for machines and the fusion of different genres, has enriched itself this time with themes dear to Dark Ambient and does not seem immune to the important experience conducted by Malfeitor Fabban in the seminal Void Of Silence: latent for years, today this imprint seems more evident and able to influence, at least partially, the band’s sound. A sound that, for the rest, has become even more majestic, even more laden with classical elements and at the same time, even closer to the Ancient’s imprinting, as the Celticfrostian riffing of "A Dog-Eat-Dog World" demonstrates.
Dehumanized, fast and aggressive Black Metal, therefore, combined with a passion for the Ancients and a healthy desire to break into more properly Dark Ambient territories and in some rare cases even EBM: these are the characteristics of Aborym's new work, a band constantly searching for its own identity and never satisfied with the result achieved.
"Generator" is an intense, varied, aggressive, dramatic album and very often also quite atmospheric and dreamy: another bullseye for a band that never tires of leading the way for those who come after them.

The new Aborym appeared different, distant from the digital fury and convulsive technology of the previous album, but tremendously darker and annihilating in their new sonic aspect.
Generator, the fourth seal of Aborym, is a tremendous display of strength. It is the testimony of a creative, eclectic, different group, with a distinctive and robustly structured sound.
