DECAPITATED IN THE RECORDING STUDIO

Decapitated are currently at the Radio Gdańsk Studio in Poland recording a follow up album to their 2006 release Organic Hallucinosis. The album is being produced by guitarist Wacek "Vogg" Kiełtyka and sound engineered by Malta Arkadiusz Malczewski, with the drums being recorded and mixed by Daniel Bergstrand (Behemoth, Meshuggah, Dimmu Borgir, Keep Of Kalessin, Defleshed).

Decapitated are a Polish Death Metal band formed in 1996 by brothers Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka on guitar and Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka on drums. The band released 4 albums through 2007 when they were forced into into hibernation due to the death of Vitek as the result of a car crash. In 2009 Vogg decided to put the band back together, recruited some new members and embarked on a world tour. The album they are currently recording will be their first with the new lineup and the first album as a band for 5 years.

From the studio Vogg reports:

"We are recording fully live drums - no triggers or plastic sounding stuff whatsoever, which, especially for Kerimh, renders the session more demanding than he had expected; but because of this, in my opinion, the sound will be original and will help us to avoid the so-called 'machine gun effect.'

we've been looking for the right guitar sound and we've already come up with a few ideas. We've got heaps of different speakers, heads, effects and we're trying to pick the gear with the sound most suitable to the new riffs. It's very probable that I'll use again a transistor head in conjunction with a tube head - the combination that had always worked out well for DECAP. Also, I'm recording in a large room to take advantage of its ambience and to let the sound flow freely."

Drummer Kerim "Krimh" Lechner finished recording his drum parts in 3 days:

"These last days we’ve spent listening to all the drum tracks and choosing the best parts. Each song takes us about 3-4 hours and you have to spend a few days to listen through all the songs. Now we will send all the drum tracks to Daniel Bergstrand who will do a first mix of the drums so we can start recording guitars.

"When I listen to the songs right now, I believe that this album will be strong. Different in some ways, but I feel confident about the new material."

Decapitated's full line-up is: Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka on guitar, Kerim "Krimh" Lechner (Thorns Of Ivy, Tone Intimacy) on drums, Rafał Piotrowski (Ketha, Forgotten Souls) on lead vocals, and Filip "Heinrich" Hałucha (Vesenia, Rootwater, Unsun, Masachist) on bass.
