Background and recording

On February 21, 2018, the band finished the writing process for the album. [14] The album was recorded at Kohlekeller Studios and produced by Kristian "Kohle" Kohlmannslehner, who previously worked with the band's Termination Redux EP, Retrogore and Bathos EP. The recording sessions had officially concluded on April 11, 2018. [15]

The band commented on the recording process of the new album:

This is actually the first record we were able to do full pre-productions for and had Kohle involved in with since the beginning, and let me tell you, the result is there. We all feel very proud and strongly about how this beast is shaping. Get ready for the most ambitious, varied and brutal Aborted record so far. Kohle has been pushing us beyond the limit of what we have ever done and stuff is sounding massive; always a pleasure to have him involved.

Vocalist Sven de Caluwé elaborated on topics of the new album:

The album and song talk about a lot of things that have been happening in the last couple of years where the public opinion is clearly being molded and manipulated, there have been studies in communication showing that 55% of communication is non-verbal impact, 38% is verbal communication and the actual message is only important for about 7% of it. I know retarded figures that don't mean much by themselves if not telling us that people don't give a fuck about what you're selling, as long as you package it right and the media/politicians know this all too well. The rise of ISIS has a lot to thank to the media as well, bigotry, racism all tools used by media to remove the eye on the actual problems for the human race as a whole and our planet. [5]

Release

On March 27, 2018, the band announced that their new album will be titled TerrorVision and would be released on September 21, 2018, via Century Media.

[4] A lyric video for the title track "TerrorVision" was available for streaming on August 3, 2018. [5] The third song "Vespertine Decay" was also available for streaming on September 6, 2018. [6]
