Decapitated ‎"The First Damned" LP

What is undeniable is that Decapitated was comprised of superior musicians. Guitarist and lead songwriter Vogg is now an entire industry unto himself and has spawned his own microgenre approach of writing groovy technical death. Drummer Vitek (RIP) is an absolute monster behind the kit, it is nearly impossible to believe that at the time of recording Cemeteral Gates, he was twelve years old! Vocalist Sauron was as key to the Decapitated sound as Vogg/Vitek, and later replacements would forever be compared and disregarded in favor of bringing Sauron back. Before we got the magic of “Spheres of Madness” we had “The First Damned!”
The First Damned, this time around is a version of Decapitated tracks released not once, not twice, but three times in some shape or form, which calls into question the motivation behind the release. However, Decapitated’s early work will always be fondly remembered, and The First Damned is a testament to just how seminal Decapitated is to the genre, and how their innovative songwriting still stands the test of time.

Released by Nuclear Blast.
