Polish death metal heroes DECAPITATED are looking for a new vocalist and drummer to replace COVEN and VITEK after the tragic tour bus accident that claimed VITEK's (drummer)life and seriously injured vocalist COVEN in November of 2007. Best of luck to VOGG (VITEK's brother) in his attempt to put back the pieces of DECAPITATED and bring back the brutality.
FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET. and DECAPITATED:
Guitarist Waclaw "Vogg" Kieltyka of the Polish extreme metallers DECAPITATED — whose brother, DECAPITATED drummer Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka, died on November 2, 2007 in a Russian hospital from injuries sustained in a road collision — has issued the following update
"I was thinking about that for a long time and it's really hard decision for me, but I have decided to continue this band and keep DECAPITATED alive. I know it will be not the same anymore but I want to try, and I'm sure Witek and Covan [DECAPITATED singer Adrian Kowanek, who was also hurt in the accident] will support me and will be happy about that.
"So I want to say that: If anybody from drummers and vocalists feel that they can continue what Witek and Covan did and put all power, energy and live time for this band, contact me at decapitatedband@gmail.com.
"Everyone who is interested, please prepare these tracks — 'Day 69', 'Post Organic', 'Invisible Control' and 'Long Desired Dementia' — and send it as audiovideo format."

Metal Mind Productions released the first-ever DVD from Polish extreme metallers DECAPITATED, entitled "Human's Dust", in June 2008. The DVD was made available in two versions: as a standard DVD and as a very unique star metalpack DVD edition limited to 3,000 copies. The main feature of the DVD consists of the band's October 2002 gig in Krakow, which was a part of their European tour with VADER and KRISIUN. Bonus material includes two live performances recorded during Ozzfest in Poland (May 2002) and Metalmania festival (March 2004), the "Winds of Creation" video clip, plus three interviews recorded at various locations: Kraków in 2002 (Vitek and Vogg); Ozzfest in Katowice, 2002 (Vogg and Sauron); Metalmania in Katowice, 2004 (Sauron and Martin). Also included are a photo gallery, biography, discography, desktop images, weblinks.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Also, DECAPITATED vocalist COVEN still needs help in his recovery from the 2007 tragic tour bus accident. A press release was sent out in December and January asking for contributions to help in deferring the cost of COVENS medical bills. FROM DECAPITATED ON MYSPACE: COVAN NEEDS OUR HELP-Alina Squeak press release
As most everyone knows, it has been just over a year since the tragic bus accident that ultimately took the life of Vitek, drummer of Decapitated, and seriously injured their singer, Covan. The families of Vitek and Covan wish to express deep gratitude to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, funny stories, and donations sent to them during this last very difficult year.
However, Covan is still going through a long and difficult recovery, and the family would once again ask for you to look into your heart and possibly send donations. It is INCREDIBLY expensive for all the round-the-clock medical care, the doctors, the nurses, the therapy, the medicine, etc. Most of you could also understand that, since he is also in Poland, it is even more expensive than it would be in the US or most other parts of Europe. His care and recovery is ongoing and he is slowly showing some progress, but it will be quite a bit of time before he is completely better. Some people may think that, although th
ey would like to help, that they have nothing to give… but in truth, if every one person out there that thought this could donate even just $1, that amount will significantly multiply and make a huge difference!
If anyone out there would like to help, there are three ways you can do that. All the old paypal donation information has been=2
0shut down a while ago, so please make note of the NEW address and account numbers!
If you are INSIDE POLAND ONLY, please use the following info:
You can donate to the POLISH paypal address of: mstasto@yahoo.com
OR you can put it directly into his bank account:
Recipient's Name: Adrian Kowanek
Account Number: 05 1240 1431 1111 0000 0999 2870
Bank Swift Code: PKOPPLPW
Bank Name: PEKAO I O. Krakow
Bank Address: Rynek Glowny 31, 31-010 Kraków, Poland
Please add the word "Covan" as the bank transfer description.
If you are OUTSIDE OF POLAND (Europe, Asia, South America, North America, etc.), please use the following info:
You can donate to the AMERICAN paypal account address of: decapitatedusa@yahoo.com
OR you can put it directly into the American bank account listed below:
Recipient Name: Alina M. Hernes
Account Number: 3582102302
Bank Name: Washington Mutual
Bank Address: 1605 S. Winchester Blvd., Campbell, CA=2
095008 USA
Be assured that this bank account was opened strictly for donations to Covan only, and all money will go directly to Covan. At Washington Mutual, it does not cost me any fees to transfer money to a Polish bank account or from paypal to the bank account, so that is why I made a separate account for him here.
If you go over
to the myspace profile at www.myspace.com/decapitated , you will also see a bunch of merchandise items for sale, in which all the money raised from the sale of those items will go directly to Covan's care. I will tell you that the Decapitated "Remembrance" shirt is one of the best quality shirts that I own and that the quality is completely top-notch. As well, keep an eye out in the next few days, as we will be making announcements about items that we will be auctioning off to benefit Covan, including a guitar graciously donated from Peter from the almighty VADER!
If you could please help us spread the word, we would be extremely grateful for the help. Please check back for periodic updates on Covan. Thank you so much!
~Alina Squeak, on behalf of Covan's family
