DECAPITATED BIOGRAPHY
Decapitated are a critically and popularly acclaimed death metal band from Poland; their style places them towards the more extreme and technical side of that genre. They come from Krosno in southern Poland, and they formed in 1996 (when the band's average age was merely 14) whilst all the members were at music school. They released their first demo, Cemeterial Gardens, in 1997 and released their debut album, Winds of Creation, three years later. Its successor, Nihility is a more condensed, brutal and technical album, with an almost industrial guitar tone. Their 2004 album The Negation, and their latest effort, Organic Hallucinosis, both have a more classic death metal tone.
The band's guitarist Vogg and bassist Martin also have a gig in the Polish black metal band Lux Occulta.
