Death Metal legends Aborted have announced that Ken Bedene, their drummer for 15 years, is no longer a member of the band, effective immediately. This comes ahead of their crucial European tour dates with Crypta, Zenith Passage, and Organectomy. No reason was given for the dismissal. The band has announced Kevin Paradis, formerly of Benighted, filling in, but no word if he will remain the permanent drummer.
The band commented on social media:
Effective immediately Ken Bedene is no longer a member of Aborted. The upcoming European tour is going forward as planned with blast duties being handled by none other than Kevin Paradis.
