Sound: Decapitated is a new sound that any metal head can get used to. The sick drums and deep vocals make for a brutal touch to the band direct out of Poland. Way back when in 2000 when the album came out, I had just been introduced to death metal a year earlier. When I heard Decapitated I knew it was a genre that would stick with me for years to come. It sounds different from most bands I have heard, but in the more recent albums they have spawned into a fast and brutal machine. // 8
Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics involve Nihilism, Evil, and Misanthropy. Vocal cuts like, "Their gods are only illusions human rights crushed in the fingers of the might" make it known that Sauron (vocals) is not just wasting his voice. The lyrics fit very well with the brutality and technicality that Decapitated brings to the plate every time. The old vocalist (Sauron) brought a verbal and vocal intensity to stage and studio that no one else could, he is brutality at it's finest. // 9
Impression: When I hear Decapitated, I think of Cephalic Carnage. The album Xenosapien and Anomalies comes to mind, because both of the bands show equal brutality and skill. The songs that really stuck out to me are; Winds of Creation, Mandatory Suicide (Slayer Cover), and Humans Dust. All three of those songs are the best out of the entire album. I love the fact that death metal is still around and bands like Decapitated are an awesome addition to to the death metal scene that all fans have appreciated for so long. Another good thing is, for a first album they did a really good job with technical beats, solos, crazy vocals, and intensity. On the other hand, the production quality could have been a little better. // 9
