Formed in 1996, Polish Tech Death masters DECAPITATED built a reputation over the years as one of the international leaders of their genre. Over their near 20-year career, band has released eight studio albums, which are considered to be some of the most influential death metal releases of the 21st century. “Heads Above The Rest.” – Kerrang! Across eight studio albums, DECAPITATED grew from the adolescent dream of teenagers from a small Central European town to one of the leaders of the metal genre. Each successive album further expands the band’s sound with genre-bending authenticity and integrity. As Metal Injection rightfully observed, “any self-respecting death metalhead knows the name well.” DECAPITATED’s music is a weapon forged by four young men from a historic medieval-fortified town in Poland, which catapulted them to the top of a worldwide subculture. Like a rose in the devil’s garden, the DECAPITATED story builds triumph from tragedy. The gleeful grotesquery of extreme metal imagery and rifftastic bludgeoning beckons listeners to uncover broader truths. Upon the release of 2017’s Anticult, Metal Hammer declared DECAPITATED “a serious successor to the likes of Pantera and Lamb Of God – a band who can draw new legions into the metal world as its new champions.” Their diverse follow-up, 2022’s Cancer Culture, delivers on that promise. Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka (guitar), Rafał "Rasta" Piotrowski (vocals), Paweł Pasek (bass), and James Stewart (drums) are at the top of their game, delivering the goods at peak performance. Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk and Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn make guest appearances. Vogg and his younger brother, drummer Witold “Vitek” Kiełtyka, cofounded DECAPITATED in 1996. The rule-breaking ferocity and invention of their first four albums reinvigorated death metal. Sadly, this era came to a shocking end in late 2007, when the band’s bus collided with a large truck near the Russian border with Belarus. Vitak tragically passed away from his injuries. He was just 23. Vogg summoned the courage to continue, in honor of his brother and what they created, and returned with a new incarnation of DECAPITATED and the fiercely adventurous comeback album, Carnival is Forever (2011). Blabbermouth declared Blood Mantra (2014) “perhaps the most poised and gutsy” DECAPITATED album, adding “its courageous bends make it a turbulent but pleasurable ride.” Anticult increased the musical diversity without sacrificing their signature sound. The devoted supporters who traveled to see DECAPITATED on international tours with the likes of Lamb Of God, Meshuggah, and Soulfly over the years will recognize the ever-present pummeling backbone of Cancer Culture. Driven by Vogg’s passion and integrity, the dual emphasis on invention and skill maintains DECAPITATED’s stature as genre-leaders in 2022 and beyond.

Overflow Brewing Company Ottawa, ONProbably the greatest and most powerful death metal band of the past 20 years, 3rd time seeing them and they have only grown stronger and more complete. Fantastic show
The Forge Joliet, ILAll the bands were great but Decapitated were on a whole other level. Just wish they were on stage longer. Need to see them on a full headline tour.
The Mill, Digbeth Digbeth, United KingdomAbsolutely killer set, from all four bands. I was there for Kataklysm and Decapitated, and they were both brilliant, as were Allegeon and Septic Flesh. Fun, fun, FUN show.
Hangar 1819 Greensboro, NCWar eigentlich nur für die ersten 3 Bands da. Hier waren aber die Gitarren leider überhaupt nicht zu hören. Dafür haben despised icon und decapitated sehr gut abgeliefert.
