Members of DECAPITATED seriously injured[views:23026][posts:58]__________________________________ [Oct 30,2007 4:52pm - BrianDBB ""] Saw this bulletin posted by The Red Chord on Myspace: "Two members of Decapitated have been seriously injured in a road accident involving their tour bus and a truck carrying wood in Gomel, on the Russia/Belarus border. Vocalist Covan and drummer Vitek sustained serious head injuries as a result of the accident, and are to be taken 550km from Gomel to Moscow for emergency treatment. All other members of the touring party are not reported to be seriously hurt. Keep your thoughts with these guys people. Let's pull for them, they are one of the most important bands in Death Metal." |

| _________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 7:00am - archaeon ""] Vitek died or so says a polish site. No official announcement has been made thats fucking rough if its true. great guy, great drummer and a father. fucking devastating for his family RIP |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 8:01am - theaccurseddrummer ""] It's been announced on a few sites... Blabbermouth.net Decapitated Drummer Dead at 23. What a fucking shame. Rest in Peace, you made some incredible music and will be missed. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 8:06am - eat it ""] does ne1 wanna buy a tix to that show in dec |

| _______________________________ [Nov 2,2007 8:38am - zyklon ""] I met him once, very friendly guy. R.I.P. |
| ___________________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 8:52am - theaccurseddrummer ""] Nice pics Rev, I was at the 02 & 06 shows as well, and they played such graet shows. Vitek was an amazing kid in an amazing band. Let's all hope that Adrian (Cavan) pulls through it and they carry on. mOe said it best, I know it won't be the same, but it'd be a shame to see such a talented band permanently sidelined. Better to keep moving forward in his honor than to hang it up. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 8:57am - immortal13 ""] Some of the worst news I've heard in a long time. Decapitated is one of my favorites, and not only does it suck that the original drummer is gone, but the fact that it's always hard when someone close to you like a band member goes. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 9:17am - Anthony ""] Are you fuckin kidding me? This is horrible |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 9:28am - porphyria ""] RIP - Vitek Condolences to his brother Vogg and the rest of their family. |
| _________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 9:41am - brian_dc ""] this is ridiculous Drummer Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka of the Polish extreme metal band DECAPITATED passed away in a Russian hospital from injuries sustained in a recent road collision. He was 23 years old. Vitek and DECAPITATED singer Covan (real name: Adrian Kowanek) were injured in an accident earlier in the week involving DECAPITATED's tour bus and a truck carrying wood in Gomel, on the Russia/Belarus border. Both musicians reportedly sustained serious head injuries in the collision, which is believed to have been the fault of the band's driver (although this has not yet been officially confirmed). According to the Polish Internet portal Onet.pl, Vitek underwent trepanation, a form of surgery in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the skull, and was due to be transported to a hospital in Krakow, Poland for further treatment. Covan's family released a statement yesterday (Thursday, November 1) that the vocalist's condition had improved. At the time, the vocalist was still said to be at a hospital in Novozybkov, Russia, where he and Vitek were taken following the accident. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 10:14am - thuringwethil ""] My goodness. this sucks. RIP. :~o( |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 10:31am - craig nli ""] its going to take a long time. they need to grieve and get through adrian's injuries as well. i dont think theyll hang it up though. sucks for them and his family. 23 years old. and a father no less. that blows. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 2,2007 10:33am - Yeti ""] wow, that is awful. 23 years old, fuckin a. he was a vicious drummer. RIP. |
| ________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 11:49am - Ryan_M ""] 23 years old, shit that's my age! I'm always surprised when I realize how young those guys really are... |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 12:22pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Wow... I'm utterly speechless. This is definitely going to ruin my day. I feel so bad for their families. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 12:27pm - thuringwethil ""] absolutely horrible. bad things happen to great people. often. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 12:52pm - Hoser_NLI ""] FUCKING HORRIBLE NEWS. That dude was a fuckin' NASTY drummer and a hell of a guy when I spoke with him. My wife will be devastated, it's her favorite band. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 12:53pm - BlackoutRick ""] Agreed. This sucks. |
| __________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 12:55pm - sinistas ""] Suck. RIP, and hope Covan pulls through. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 1:19pm - aaron_michael ""] wasted talent. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 2:25pm - JustinSteele ""] Not to sound trite but, we should all be so lucky to have lived as much as he did in those short years. Its definately fucked up when you see someone close to your own age die. Looking forward to this year being over... |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 3:19pm - hungtableed ""] Wow. God bless him and may he R.I.P. |

| _________________________________ [Nov 2,2007 7:13pm - Dankill ""] That's some of the worst news I've heard in a while. He was a fucking awesome drummer and died SO damn young. I was really looking forward to seeing them when they came around next month, now I wonder what will happen with the damn band itself! R.I.P. |
