Original vocalist, Sven de Caluwé in the video below, spoke to Zoran Theodorovic on all things Aborted and worldly.

A few excerpts..

On whether the world still looks to America for leadership?

I can only judge, by what I see and the information that I get, but I don’t like to get into politics, but let’s just say some of the decisions that were made and or lack thereof. I think it’s definitely influencing people’s views, if they’re looking at America, as a world leader or I mean obviously you’re in a very powerful country and I love the U.S. there’s a lot of great stuff about there. We have three American band members, we toured there all the time and we obviously have a very positive experience, with a lot of Americans regardless of what you know, they’re Republicans or Democrats or whatever. I don’t give a shit personally, everybody’s entitled to believe in and vote for what they want to. I just hope that people do some research and actually vote with their brain, you know and actually think about it. It’s a shame, that it let’s just say this way to to foreigners it comes across as a bit being a bit more of a media circus than actually politics and it’s a shame.

On the toxicity of Facebook and social media?

I honestly don’t go on them too much. I was on Facebook, a little bit and not too much the last weeks and all I get is Trump this, Trump that, Trump, Trump and I’m not even from the states so I don’t give a fuck. Honestly, it’s interesting to see all the weird stuff, come out and all the conspiracy theories and the 5G is responsible for Covid and I mean, I don’t know where you get that shit, and that you know, believe what you want. Everybody’s entitled to believe what they want, but I don’t understand. It’s a weird time and you feel a lot of people, I guess have too much time and or or – I don’t know, I don’t know what to call it, it’s weird to see. Just hope the virus goes away and everybody can go to a normal way, of living in maybe they will also realize what a fucking cancer in a way social media is.
