Decapitated - first shows in 3 years
Data dodania 2009-10-20Dodał WouterŹródło blabbermouth.netGuitarist Waclaw "Vogg" Kieltyka of the Polish extreme metallers DECAPITATED recently tapped Austrian drummer Kerim "Krimh" Lechner (of THORNS OF IVY) as the replacement for Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka, who died on November 2, 2007 in a Russian hospital from injuries sustained in a road collision. DECAPITATED singer Covan (real name: Adrian Kowanek) was also hurt in the accident, which involved the band's tour bus and a truck carrying wood in Gomel, on the Russia/Belarus border.
Vogg has now issued the following update:
"It's time to come back! After a two-year break, DECAPITATED is coming back with new members. The official new lineup for DECAPITATED will be announced at the end of December.
Finally, I have found some great musicians who can continue the work of Vitek and Covan.
"At the beginning of April, DECAPITATED will start to play our first reunion shows. We will visit the biggest cities in Australia and play some of the biggest summer festivals in Europe. Don't worry, we won't forget about the U.K.! After this, the band will concentrate on the making of a new album!
"I would like to thank all the people who have supported us all this time."
