The monstrous Decapitated have entered the studio in their homeland of Poland to begin work on studio album number six. The album is due to be released in September via Nuclear Blast Records. In order to record an album, the band of course need a drummer, so alongside this announcement, Decapitated have announced that Michal Lysejko has joined as a full-time member. Michal toured with the band during the recent Lamb of God tour.

Official statement from guitarist Waclaw 'Vogg' Kieltyka:

"We would like to share news with you. All you know that we've been quite busy lately. We had some personal changes in the band and also we did I guess the best tours we had; with MESHUGGAH, LAMB OF GOD and CHILDREN OF BODOM. First of all we want to introduce you DECAPITATED new drummer Michal Lysejko. Some of you had a chance to meet him already during tour with LAMB OF GOD this January. Also I want to say THANK YOU to the rest of the people who took a challenge and sent their video for an audition.

Also since January this year we signed worldwide management contract with Continental Concerts & Management. That's for sure big step and opportunity for us and big challenge. But I guess the most important news for most of you is that after almost nine years we back to Hertz Studio (albums: Nihility, The Negation, Organic Hallucinosis) to record new album which will be released autumn this year. We will inform you about details soon. Keep it touch!!"


Decapitated will be hitting up Bloodstock Festival this August.
