Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Decapitated VERY Grave News

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

A couple of days ago it was reported that Vitek and Covan from Decapitated were seriously injured in a car accident on the Belarus border with Russia.

I am very sorry to say but it has been announced today that Vitek (Decapitated’s drummer) injuries proved fatal.

This is of course very bad news and give out condolences to Vitek’s family and friends.The last report for Covan (Decaiptated’s singer) is that he is showing signs of improvement but is still in a serious condition. We hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

REST IN PEACE VITEK.
