Decapitated has a new drummer, he's a young guy from Austria named Kerim Lechner. No word yet on a vocalist.

For a badly sync'd video... http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseacti...on=vids.individual&videoid=61295886

i dunno about this, i love this band and i really wish they'd just stay inactive.

kid can play fast...but I feel like he plays more ahead of the beat on the groove parts. If there's one pet peeve I have it would be that.

Weird that they're deciding to go on, though....I would have expected a new band to emerge instead.

way to embed.

gahh..the kid has some strong blasts and good control but he really needs to bring it over the edge and this video doesn't really do it.

I think they're settling a little bit here. After Vitek they really need a monster. This kid is definately good, but doesn't sound so much like a monster to me. Although now that he's in Decapitated he will probably practice night and day, and their first record with him will be crazy.

i think he sounds fine. good for Decapitated... can't wait for a new album.

i wish Dave from NSN tried out...he could have killed that shit

Decapitated can never stop! Show must go on. I'm dying to hear their new stuff. And I'm pretty sure they'll find the right drummer to keep going. Vitek will never be replaced, he was unique. But they're so many talented musicians all over the world that can do a good job in the band.
Best of luck to Decapitated, one of the best Death Metal bands ever!

i guess the music will have to speak for it self but i'm betting that the cd will

only be as cool as the origin cd without john longstreth.

Kid shreds...good for him, and Decapitated...although, yeah, Vitek was a fucking MONSTER.

I am still so so bummed about Vitek, especially considering that Organic Hallucinosis is probably in my top 5 metal drum performances from the past decade of releases. Nevertheless, I am very happy that Decapitated is soldiering on, that takes heart and I respect them so much, as I always have. Can't wait for a new record.

i"ve been following this kind on youtube for like as long as he's been posting wideos. His Decapitated covers are what got me but his original songs are pretty baddass too. And he can definately can groove. I think he''ll do good. He's still young, hes only going to get better.

i hope so, if he does rule and is as groovy and tight as they were, i will be a happy guy.

I can't wait for the big death metal drummer steroid investigation in congress.

Oh no musicians do drugs? what will happen to our kids?
