DECAPITATED, a Polish tech death metal band, will release “Cancer Culture,” their eighth studio album, on May 27 via Nuclear Blast Records. Below is the official music video for the album’s first single, the title tune.
Wacaw, the decapitated guitarist “”The video was shot last December in Pock, Poland,” Kietyka explained. This time, we’ve partnered with Mateusz Winkiel, the director of Mania Studio, with whom we’ve collaborated closely on the entire scenario. It was an enjoyable experience, and I hope our followers will appreciate the work’s ultimate result and the vital message we attempted to convey in this image.”
“It wasn’t simple to pick the first single from ‘Cancer Culture,'” Vogg previously commented of the new track. Each song has its own distinct vibe, which we want to showcase as soon as possible and be proud of. Because ‘Cancer Culture’ is the album’s first song, we thought it would be a great way to introduce you to new music. It’s the first chapter of the record, so you know what to anticipate.”
“Finally, after so many months of waiting, we got it,” he concluded. The countdown to the release of our brand new album, ‘Cancer Culture,’ as well as a new song has begun!
“With this album, we set a high bar for ourselves and set a huge challenge for ourselves. But I believe that perseverance pays off.
“We were fortunate enough to be able to assemble a fantastic team who handled the production and assisted us in delivering the finest possible record.
Jarek Szubrycht (‘Carnival Is Forever’) has once again created great songs for us about the disparity between humanity’s desires, ambitions, and aspirations.
“Tomasz Zed Zalewski (‘Anticult’) was the album’s principal engineer; David Castillo was in charge of mixing; and Ted Jensen was in charge of mastering.” For the first time, we collaborated on the cover with Fabio Timpanaro, an Italian artist whose work perfectly encapsulates the story we sought to communicate through visual art.
“Do not misunderstand the album’s title meaning. It is set in a much larger context. You’ll be shocked by what we’ve come up with this time.”
“Anticult,” DECAPITATED’s most recent album, was released in July 2017 on Nuclear Blast Records.
DECAPITATED was formed in 1996 and has since established itself as one of the international pioneers in the “tech death” genre. DECAPITATED has released seven studio albums over the course of its 26-year history, which are widely regarded as some of the most influential death metal recordings of the twenty-first century.
Following the retirement of Phil Demmel, Kietyka has been filling in on second guitar in MACHINE HEAD since 2019.
DECAPITATED is:
Wacław “Vogg” Kiełtyka – guitars
Rafał “Rasta” Piotrowski – vocals
James Stewart – drums
