DECAPITATED

ANNOUNCES ‘NIHILITY’

UK & IRELAND TOUR 2023

SPECIAL GUESTS OBSCURA,

INFERI & THE MATERIA

Across eight studio albums, Decapitated grew from the adolescent dream of teenagers from a

small Central European town to one of the leaders of the metal genre. Each successive album

further expands the band’s sound with genre-bending authenticity and integrity. As Metal

Injection rightfully observed, “any self-respecting death metalhead knows the name well.” Like a

rose in the devil’s garden, the Decapitated story builds triumph from tragedy. The gleeful

grotesquery of extreme metal imagery and riff-tastic bludgeoning beckons listeners to uncover

broader truths.

Their latest studio album Cancer Culture was released in 2022, with instantly recognisable

devastation and deceptively sinister hooks abound. Newly minted Decapitated anthems like ‘Last

Supper’, ‘Hello Death’, ‘Just A Cigarette’, ‘No Cure’, ‘Iconoclast’, and ‘Cancer Culture’

shimmer with sonically sharp production and unrelenting bombast. There’s also a newly increased

emphasis on melody, even venturing into darkly romantic territory. Wacław “Vogg”

Kiełtyka (guitar), Rafał “Rasta” Piotrowski (vocals), Paweł Pasek (bass), and James

Stewart (drums) are at the top of their game, delivering the goods at peak

performance. Jinjer vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk and Machine Head front man Robb

Flynn make impressive guest appearances. Flynn contributes a hauntingly beautiful vocal to

the Cancer Culture track ‘Iconoclast’, with Shmayluk, a formidable screamer, going the the

clean vocal route on track ‘Hello Death.
