DECAPITATED

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: POL
Style: modern precise energetic death metal

five years after the previous output, extreme metal innovators return with a sharper, more focused effort that trims the excess of its predecessor in favor of compact, riff-driven songwriting marked by stark contrasts: jagged, staccato rhythms collide with sudden melodic detours, while Vogg's guitar work feels more deliberate and cutting than ever before, exploring both tight technicality and bleak atmosphere; James Stewart's drumming strikes balance between surgical precision and human weight, underpinning Piotrowski's varied vocal delivery that swings from acidic barks to anguished howls - gone is some of experimentation, replaced by a leaner, more confrontational tone that emphasizes immediacy, clarity, and a sense of urgency pulsing beneath each relentless track, making these ten cuts an outstanding team effort; German gatefold sleeve black 180g vinyl edition
