Two members of the Polish extreme metal band DECAPITATED — Vitek (real name: Witold Kieltykaand; drums) and Covan (real name: Adrian Kowanek; vocals) — were seriously injured in a road accident earlier in the week involving DECAPITATED's tour bus and a truck carrying wood in Gomel, on the Russia/Belarus border. Both musicians reportedly sustained serious head injuries as a result of the accident.

One of Covan's family members issue the following update:

"Covan and Vitek are still at the hospital in Novozybkov, Russia, where they were taken to following the accident. Despite the rumors, they are not in Moscow. Their families are currently trying to decide the best possible city and hospital to take them to next for additional medical attention.

"Covan is showing some progress, but unfortunately, there have been no signs of improvement on Vitek's condition. The familes of Covan and Vitek appreciate everyone's concern on the matter, but please do not spread any more uncomfirmed rumors or information on the Internet. More details will soon be released."

Vitek is an irreplaceable drummer. My thoughts go out to Vogg and family right now they must be devestated. Hope they stay strong and I hope Vitek makes a full recovery so that Decapitated can continue making the best death metal out there.
