Organic Hallucinosis - Decapitated

...albums.

Post Organic is another good track with some particularly good solos but personally I'm a bigger fan of the 2000 album - Winds of Creation and in particular the early demos of the band when they are just young, drunk and focussed on death metal. Revelation of Existence on this album really has little going for the average listener. It's definitely not their best album but I think it may go down as their most well remembered ...
...how and if they will reform, we will have to see.

The album is a change from their usual ... more

I was planning review this a few weeks back but our friend the Frankensteinal one, sneaked in and beat me to it, so I thought I'd give it a while before I wrote my opinion on the album.

Decapitated were (and still are to some extent) a Polish Death Metal band who started this technical death metal outfit from the South of Poland in 1996 as youngsters in their early teens, this album marked a decade as the band and it was their 4th studio album.

This album saw the singer Wojciech Sauron replaced with Adrian Covan, previously of Atrophia Red Sun, a very good death/industrial act in its own right. Tragically during a tour in 2007 on the way to a show in Gomel, Belarus and injuring their singer Covan who as far as I'm aware is still in a critical condition almost a year after the accident.

A Poem about an Old Prison Man, is actually a poem written by Charles Manson, the second time in the band's history they've referred to the killer, who perhaps is most notorious for killing the wife (Sharon Tate) of another well known Pole (Polanski) and the Polish actor Wojciech Frykowski in LA in 1969.

The incredibly quick, hard and growling Day 69 is a particularly good track and goes well with the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIB9mSbD67k), the technical side of the album can't really be appreciated by most people through a cd, the band's stage shows add a great presence to the music which can't be felt so much through the albums.

Revelation of Existence on this album really has little going for the average listener. It's definitely not their best album but I think it may go down as their most well remembered one following the incidents that happened afterwards. I'm not sure how and if they will reform, we will have to see.

The album is a change from their usual death metal and is more like clinical technical hardcore, an unwelcome change to both me and a fair few of their fans.
