'''Decapitated''' is a [[technical death metal]]<ref name=autogenerated1>[http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=114 Encyclopaedia Metallum - Decapitated (Pol)<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> band from [[Poland]].
They formed in 1996<ref name=autogenerated1 /> in [[Krosno]] in southern Poland, when all the members were still attending music school.


'''180 mm gun S-23''' ('''{{lang-ru|180-мм пушка С-23}}''') was a [[Soviet]] heavy gun of [[Cold War]] era. It was developed in the early 1950s, with the design based off of naval guns. Its first public appearance was the 1955 May Day parade in Moscow.<ref name=Basseys>Margiotta, Franklin D. Brassey's Encyclopedia of Land Forces and Warfare. Brassey's, 2000
They released their first demo ''Cemeterial Gardens'' in 1997 and their second demo, ''[[The Eye of Horus]]'' in 1998. After these releases, the band was considered as genuine contenders of the underground metal community, and eventually signed with Wicked World/[[Earache Records]] for the release of the debut album, ''[[Winds of Creation]]''.

With Vitek (1984-2007) and Vogg (being aged 23) they are one of the youngest bands in the genre to have had success. Martin and Vogg conjointly hold gigs with the Polish experimental [[symphonic metal#Symphonic black metal|symphonic]]/[[progressive metal|technical]] [[black metal]] band [[Lux Occulta]].

==References==
Decapitated also toured the UK upon the release of ''Winds of Creation'', and in light of a phenomenal response, the band was led to being voted "Best Newcomer" in [[Terrorizer Magazine]]'s 2000 Reader's Poll, and a further European tour in 2001 with [[Immolation (band)|Immolation]] continued to contribute to the band's musical reputation.

==Band history==
Decapitated released their first demo entitled ''Cemeterial Gardens'' in 1997 and released their debut album, called ''[[Winds of Creation]]'', three years later. ''[[Nihility]]'' was the follow-up of Winds of Creation.

Their 2004 album, ''[[The Negation]]'', along with their latest effort ''[[Organic Hallucinosis]]'' both have a fuller, more classical [[death metal]] tone. In summer [[2005]], the band's vocalist Sauron quit the band. According to Sauron, the reason was due to "health complications". Sauron's replacement was [[Adrian Kowanek|Covan]], a previous member of [[Atrophia Red Sun]]. The group is currently signed to [[Earache Records]].

''[[Organic Hallucinosis]]'' was released on the 13th of February 2006. Martin rejoined Decapitated after the army wanted him for conscription in Poland and nearly faced going to court despite the rumours of problems concerning the label, which were proven to be untrue. {{Fact|date=November 2007}}

==Incident in Belarus==
On [[29 October]] [[2007]], while travelling to a show in [[Gomel|Gomel, Belarus]], the band was involved in an automobile accident. Their tour bus collided with a truck carrying wood, injuring Vitek and Covan. While it was initially believed that they were taken to Moscow to be treated after treatment at a local hospital,{{Fact|date=February 2008}} it was later confirmed that they were only taken to be treated in Novozybkov.{{Fact|date=February 2008}}

Covan has since shown signs of improvement. The bus was said to be 'beyond repair' following the crash, an indication of the impact of the collision.{{Fact|date=February 2008}} On [[2 November]] [[2007]], the band's drummer Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka died in the hospital from head injuries sustained in the accident.
