AND THE NEW LINE-UP FOR DECAPITATED IS…
As first discussed back in October, Wacek “Vogg” Kieltyka, guitarist & sole remaining founding member of Decapitated, has announced the band’s new line-up:
- Waclaw “Vogg” Kieltyka – Guitar
- Rafal Piotrowski – Vocals
- Kerim “Krimh” Lechner – Drums
- Filip “Heinrich” Halucha -Bass
Sooo… not a lot of surprises here. We’ve known that Vogg was the band’s new drummer since July; I’m not sure why, after that initial announcement, anyone tried to keep the information under their hats. Maybe they were waiting for the ink on the contract to dry before saying anything? Do Polish death metallers sign contracts?
Whatever. This new version of the band has some big shoes to fill – Decapitated were pretty much decimated by a car accident in 2007 that left one member dead and another in a coma, so we’re not just talking about stepping in for talented musicians, but stepping in for talented musicians who will now forever be kept atop a pedestal, too.
Still, I think most of the metal world will be pretty interested to see how this plays itself out. If the new Decapitated make an awesome album, I suspect that fans will end up embracing these new musicians with open arms.
