Editorial Reviews

2007 two disc (CD + DVD) edition of the Polish Death Metal band's debut album, originally released in 2000, featuring a bonus DVD. Although young at the time of the album's release (the average age was 18), Decapitated played like seasoned Death Metal monsters twice their age. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Freakin amazing! i cannot belive the guys from decapitated who were all under 20 at the time could play like this. i understand the the youngest one was the drummer and he freaking sounds like a guy whos been playing all his life. the riffs are sick and intense, especially the cover of Slayer's Mandatory Suicide. the musicianship of these kids is beyond belief. i find myself falling more and more in love with this album because the drive that the kids portay is undeniable. sadly there later albums are not as good but it gets the job done. this album is full of thrashyness and is clear their main inspiration is from vader. speaking of which, if u like vader u will love this. if u want that intense fast-speed thrashy death metal taste get this

This band is amazing. When they recorded this album their drummer was only 16, the bassist 18 and singer and guitarist only 19. Not to mention they wrote half of this stuff when they were 13 and 14! It's unbelievable. Amazing compositions, none of those [bad] lyrics, virtuoso guitar work, this has everything and it will pound the ... out of you at the same time. This is so much better than "Nihility" in song writing and production (not to mention this has far better guitar solos). Don't be fooled by thier young age, this is some of the most intricate metal I've heard in a long time, perhaps ever! Buy this album if you like technical death metal, good songwriting and for proof that their is a future for extreme music. ....

Highlight of "Winds of Creation" - "Human's Dust"

5.0 out of 5 stars Percussive thrashy death metal assault, June 17, 2003

Poland's Decapitated weaves complex riffing and twisting melodies around ungodly heavy double bass drum patterns. Much of the riffing is more thrashy and many of the solos sound Slayer-esque, albeit more musical. The faster parts are built around jarring syncopated rhythms while intelligent lyrics are vomited by a vocalist who sounds like a demon coughing up blood. This creative offering by these relative newcomers is a welcome change from the stagnating releases from many older death metal bands.
