Mp3PRiEST: DECAPITATED DISCOGRAPHY [2000-2011]

Decapitated is a death metal band that formed in Krosno, Poland in 1996. The group was founded by guitarist Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka, and his brother, drummer Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka. One year later, Decapitated was joined by vocalist Wojciech "Sauron" Wąsowicz and bassist Marcin "Martin" Rygiel. After releasing two demos, the band signed with Wicked World (subsidiary of Earache Records) and, in 2000, released their debut album, Winds of Creation. In 2002 and 2004 the band released the albums Nihility and The Negation, respectively. The band's ambitious fourth album, Organic Hallucinosis, was released in 2006 with a new vocalist Adrian "Covan" Kowanek.

In late 2007, the band was involved in an automobile accident. Vitek died at the age of 23 on November 2, 2007 of the injuries he suffered from the accident and Covan survived, but he slipped into a coma as a result. After a period of disbandment, Vogg decided to continue the band and reformed Decapitated with the Austrian drummer Kerim "Krimh" Lechner, vocalist Rafał Piotrowski and bassist Filip "Heinrich" Hałucha throughout 2009. In 2010, the new line-up embarked on a tour in Europe, Australia and North America. Release of the fifth album, Carnival Is Forever, is set for July 12, 2011.

Decapitated have gained recognition as one of the genre's most widely respected bands and one of the finest exponents of technical death metal. The band earned an international fan base in the underground music community, and became an innovating act in the modern death metal genre.
