DECAPITATED Split With Vocalist, Bassist[views:11325][posts:14]______________________________________ [Dec 19,2005 10:07am - RustedAngel ""] According to a posting on the web site of DECAPITATED's Polish record label Empire Records, bassist Martin and vocalist Adrian "Covan" Kowanek (ex-ATROPHIA RED SUN) left the Polish death metal band shortly after the completion of the group's recent North American tour. Although no official statement has yet been made, several unconfirmed Internet reports suggest that disagreements with the band's label, Earache Records, were at the heart of the duo's decision to quit the group. It is not presently clear how Martin and Covan's departures will affect DECAPITATED's previously announced North American trek with NILE, HYPOCRISY, SOILENT GREEN, RAGING SPEEDHORN and WITH PASSION, which is scheduled to kick off in January. DECAPITATED's new album, "Organic Hallucinosis", is scheduled for release on February 7, 2006 (February 13 internationally) via Earache. Download a sample cut, "A Poem about an Old Prison", at this location. Additional music from the CD can be heard by clicking here. The follow-up to 2004's "The Negation" was recorded at Hertz Studio in Bialystok, Poland with producers Slawek and Wojtek Wieslawski and features artwork and layout by Seth (ROTTING CHRIST, PARADISE LOST). :moe: |
