Spare the World," this time the crew will be filming new videos for the tracks for "Fuck Cancer" and "Malice" from "End Time."

The Goregrowler's Ball 5, Day 2
Day one of The Goregrowler’s Ball came and went without any hitches. Day two promised even more gore-gurgling delights. This day started earlier than Friday’s 5:30 start time. Originally scheduled for a 1:30 start time, the promoter pushed the start time back to 2:30. Prog death artists, Vex took this early slot, which we unfortunately missed. Comatose Records was on full display, as it was throughout the weekend, with Atrocious Abnormality. Said band played a brutal slab of unmerciful, brutal death metal featuring label head, Steve Green.
Ibex Moon Records, owned by John McEntee of Incantation, also made its presence known on the second day. Cardiac Arrest produced grimy, churning death metal in the vein of Autopsy and Grave. The Chicago act switched between rotten-limb-stiffening slow jams and all-out-blast fests provided by new drummer Nick Gallichio. Adam Scott, Tom Knizner, Dave Holland joined low and mid-range scathing voices to narrate grisly tales from the group’s three recordings. Set highlights include the frantic pace of “Insanity’s Grip,” and the ominous, full-moon-blooming groove of “Affliction of the Beast.”
Fellow Ibex Moon label and former tour mates, Hod took the hell-raising chaos outside. Hod was in fine form, performing its perfected blend of death, thrash, black, speed and all-things-metal (“We’re Hod and we play fucking metal”) style. The Central Texas act showcased material from its sole album, “Serpent.” The said album has been out for two years, so one would expect new material. Locals familiar with Hod knew the band well, so their new songs came without surprise. However, those from out of town delighted in hearing new tracks such as “Den of Wolves.” Look for a new record in 2012. More...

Aborted Drops Off The Goregrowler's Ball 2011
Belgium's ABORTED had to cancel their appearance at Goregrowler's Ball 2011 festival. They opted to take a European tour that travels through the dates of the festival, and could not have performed at the fest as a result. Instead, Aborted will be part of the Decimation of Europe Tour with Decapitated, Decrepit Birth and more.
Aborted released this statement regarding their cancellation of The Goregrowler's Ball appearance:
"We are terribly sorry to have to cancel our appearance to the GGB this year, we were very excited to finally get back to the US since our last US appearance was back in 2008 with Carcass and Suffocation, alas we have been presented a tour offer in europe which we could not turn down. We are really sad to not be playing this festival, but we hope to see all our fans soon! This said I am sure the GGB guys will find a worthy replacement and we promise we will be over there sooner than you think in 2012 in support of our upcoming album GLOBAL FLATLINE! Destroy everything, Kill everyone!"
Replacing Aborted will be Brutal Truth, who will now headline on Saturday, November 19th.
