Description
Formed in 1996, Polish tech death masters Decapitated have built a reputation as oneof the leaders of their genre and their five studio albums are considered to be someof the scene’s most influential releases.
For their sixth full-length record, ‘Blood Mantra’, the band returned to Hertz Studio,located at Bialystok in their native Poland. Recording the new creation has proven tobe an extremely demanding process for Decapitated as they have never before facedsuch a challenge – the band cross-bred various styles and sounds, setting the barhigher with this new release. Flirting with various tempos, mixing death metal withgrindcore and black metal atmosphere with more groove laden beats and stoner rockvibes. There are also modern rhythmic metal riffs that hark back to their 2006release, ‘Organic Hallucinosis’.
“I’m certain that the very fact we are again, after nine years, in Hertz studio willevoke the spirit of that album. Rasta is a much more experienced vocalist comparedto the ‘Carnival Is Forever’ album times. And his voice sounds more powerful anddeeper,” stated guitarist Waclaw ‘Vogg’ Kieltyka. Vogg himself, the band’s musicalmastermind, also delivers on ‘Blood Mantra’, creating songs with blazing tempos,crushing riffs and memorable guitar solos.
The album will also be the first to feature new drummer Michal Lysejko, who joinedthe foursome in time for their tour with Lamb Of God in January 2014. With theiremphasis on inventive songwriting and technical prowess, Decapitated have earnedthe respect of their musical peers and have gained a devoted fanbase.
