Decapitated Guitarist Checks In From The Studio

Polish death metal outfit Decapitated has begun work on a new studio album, which will be the band's first since 2006's, "Organic Hallucinosis." A message from founding guitarist Waclaw "Vogg" Kieltyka reads as follows:

"Hi there, we've just started the recording session of the new album at the studio of Radio Gdansk which is brilliantly equipped and has some wicked recording space. This time ‘round, we are working with Malta (Arek Malczewski) and Daniel Bergstrand who have been with us to set up the drums sound… and so far everything has been going surprisingly well.

"Right now, [drummer] Kerimh [Lechner] is finishing the last two tunes. I must say the drums sound really cool. Daniel has surprised us with his approach towards recording using millions of - often weird - solutions, e.g. a piano or using the corridor of Radio Gdansk.

"We are recording fully live drums - no triggers or plastic sounding stuff whatsoever, which, especially for Kerimh, renders the session more demanding than he had expected; but because of this, in my opinion, the sound will be original and will help us to avoid the so-called 'machine gun effect.' We are going to record eight songs altogether and the album will be about forty minutes long. It looks like this time, our recording style is pretty 'old-school'- with live drums and no recording of double guitar tracks, which means one guitar per side.

"Daniel is just on his way back to Sweden now and we are starting to record the skins for the last two songs so I gotta be going now.

"Check out the pics and till the next time, Yo."
