ABORTED Splits With Longtime Drummer KEN BEDENE “Effective Immediately”

Aborted and longtime drummer Ken Bedene have split after 15 years. Details are scarce right now outside the below statement from Aborted, which notes that Bedene is out “effective immediately” and is replaced by former Benighted drummer Kévin Paradis. Bedene has not yet commented on the situation, though the “effective immediately” bit probably can’t mean good news, right? It’s also worth noting that Bedene‘s Instagram is now deleted… so who knows what’s going on here.

“Effective immediately, Ken Bedene is no longer a member of Aborted,” wrote Aborted. “The upcoming European tour is going forward as planned with blast duties being handled by none other than Kevin Paradis.”
