Suddenly the band's future became uncertain. The only remaining original member, apart from Marcin 'Martin' Rygiel who had left the band shortly before the Russian tour, was Vitek's brother Waclaw 'Vogg' Kieltyka, the man behind the band's creative side. After over two years of pain, fighting the demons of the past and doubts whether he should play again without Vitek and Covan, Vogg decided to start over and continue the legacy of the band in honour of his brother's life and to rekindle the passion and energy they once shared. Luckily enough, he managed to find the new talented musicians in the persons of Kerimh ' Krimh 'Lechner ( drums ), Rafal Piotrowski ( vocal ) and Filip ' Heinrich ' Halucha ( bass ).  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuclear Blast","offers":[{"title":"White LP","offer_id":50988188008779,"sku":"2236700","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Carnival_Is_Forever_24099058_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1734517060"},{"product_id":"blood-mantra-2","title":"Blood Mantra","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormed in 1996, Polish Tech Death masters Decapitated built a reputation over the years as one of the international  leaders of their genre.
