Aborym-With No Human Intervention (2003)

This is Aborym's best album, as inhuman as the title suggests. It is a perfectly weird, creepy melding of black metal, electronics, and a serial killer vibe. It is annoying at times, too, with all the clicky beats and such, but the weird vibe makes it worth putting up with. And the black metal is indeed from Satan, so your metal heart knows there is respite. A cyborg of an album, no soul and loving it. Attila Csihar of Mayhem, the vocalist for this outing, is at his throat singing best.

Aborym-Psychogrotesque (2010)

This is perhaps the album Morbid Angel should have made this year? This is a better melding of industrial/electronica to extreme metal than that latest experiment. But if you've been following this band for a while, then you know there is nothing really new here, other than a more seamless melding of industrial grime. There are some good riffs here, and the production is nice and shiny, but most of the songs are unmemorable and there are too many of them. And do they really need to be all trendy with the sax? Fortunately, that only turns up for one song. Now go find it.
