Negation, The - Decapitated

The negation is the second album I am reviewing by Decapitated. It is their 3rd studio album and was released in 2004. This album is very different to organic hallucinosis, their most recent album, and follows a much more set pattern. The genre of this music is technical death metal. Background of band Decapitated are from Poland. The current members are: Vocals: Covan Guitars: Vogg Bass: martin Drums: Vitek You will notice the vocals on this ...
...the former vocalist, Sauron, was on this album. The band is well known for being almost virtuosic on their instruments and playing ‘real death metal’, something they term as being more technical and extreme. Song by song review: 1. "The Fury" – 4:26 This song starts with a 20 second delay before suddenly the guitars hit in with a huge riff. The drums are flat out blast beats. This is an excellent start to the album and really gets you nodding ...

Review of Negation, The - Decapitated

Released in 2004, 'The Negation' is an excellent slab of technical, groove-laden death metal with a cold and mechanical-sounding edge to it. This was the last album to feature Sauron on vocals, and is regarded by many as the band's proudest moment. The songs are a mix of cold, and at times almost doomy guitar lines and incredibly tight high-speed riffing backed up by fast, clinical, blastbeat-heavy percussion courtesy of the now sadly departed drummer ...
...in a slow and calculated manner over the chaotic mailstrom of riffs and drums in a way that suits the music perfectly. The songs are full of tight, chugging riffs that are worked with almost surgical precision into the various deep, slow grooves that each track hammers home repeatedly, and this is contrasted with insanley melodic guitar solos at various intervals. The whole thing is reminiscient of a tighter, faster version of early Deicide in places, ...

Review of Negation, The - Decapitated

The Negation is Decapitated's 3rd album and was released in 2004 by Wicked World Records. It's one of their best albums in my eyes although it still has some weak points. The band's line-up was Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka - Guitar Marcin "Martin" Rygiel - Bass Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka - Drums (RIP) Wojciech "Sauron" Wąsowicz - Vocals 1 - The Fury - Literally what you'd expect from a song called this, deep growling vocals, incredibly ...
...of the symbols so hard, you'd think they'd fall off. 2 - Three Dimensional Effect - Machine gun metal guitar playing with a crazy solo that sounds like Joe Satriani in the middle of a war! Vocals are Napalm Deathesque 3 - Lying and Weak - Back to a more rational guitar sound, the same vocals as the previous track, the track seems to speed up throughout, it's not that memorable though. 4 - Sensual Sickness - Fast and brutal, the guitar is insanely ...
