Decapitated

1.1k

Decapitated emerged from Krosno, Poland, in 1996, a formidable death metal outfit formed by musicians still in their formative years at music school. Their early output, including the demos Cemeterial Gardens (1997) and The Eye of Horus (1998), quickly established them as significant players within the underground metal scene. This recognition led to a record deal with Wicked World/Earache Records, paving the way for their debut album, Winds of Creation.

At the time of their initial success, with members like Vitek (1984-2007) and Vogg (then 23), Decapitated stood out as one of the youngest bands to achieve prominence in the genre. Guitarist Vogg also maintained a connection with the Polish experimental black metal band Lux Occulta, performing alongside Martin.
