Aborted are going all out with the limited edition box set version of their new album “The Necrotic Manifesto“. Along with the album itself the outing will feature the exclusive b-side “Saprophytes” and covers of Converge‘s “Concubine” and Suffocation‘s “Funeral Inception“. On top of that, the box set also sports an adventure card game with 110 cards created by the band themselves.
Frontman Sven “Svencho” de Caluwé said of the card game:
“The card game starts off with my humble self finding the “Necrotic Manifesto” at a truck stop while taking a dump on tour, reading out passages and unleashing hell on earth. Through the card game players will take on the role of either a band member or a crew member and will have to defeat the legions of hell alongside their maniacal leader: the doctor!
All presented with a good dose of dark humor, horror and tons of internal jokes… players will not only be treated to a one of a kind game but in turn, get to know the members of the band a bit better and on a more personal level.”
You can take a look at the set, which features new artwork by Par Olofsson, below. April 29th has been scheduled as the release date for the outing. Pre-orders for the set should be up shortly via CMdistro.com.
