Specialty Definition: Decapitated

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Decapitated are a death metal band from Poland. Their albums combine speed and power with brilliant results. Acclaimed not just by the media and their expanding hordes of fans but by their peers as well (such as fellow Poles Vader). The band also have one other advantage in their age, the eldest member (Vog, Guitars) is 22 and the youngest (Vitek, Drums) is only 18, this has given them a major boost in their popularity amongst the younger death metal fans and has given them a worthy live reputation for high velocity performances.

Currently Decapitated are signed to Earache Records.
