Decapitated Nihility in full Limerick, Dublin, Belfast December 6th - 8th

[mickO)))]

Normally I would have no interest since for me the band ended back in 2007 with the crash. Checked out a few post Covan songs here and there throughout the years which were always terrible. I love the first four albums with Nihility being my favourite.

Who has seen them since the reformation and is the current singer any good? Would someone not into the newer stuff enjoy this or would it feel more like the tribute band you see down in the local pub on a Friday night?

Poland's Decapitated will return to Irish shores in December to celebrate their classic 'Nihility' album. Special guests Obscura plus Inferi & The Materia. Tickets on sale now from Ticketmaster, venue websites & usual outlets.


Guitarist Vogg stated,
"Boom! I know that "Nihility" has a special place for many fans and musicians following Decapitated for the last 20 years. For me as well. That's why we decided to celebrate this album and perform the whole thing live in concert for the first time! Join us in spheres of madness!"

Yeah, I've seen them post-crash. I was at the show in Opium last year. For me it's not the band they were having seen them as nippers supporting Vader back in the day when Nihility just came out. I still really enjoyed the gig though, all great musicians but there's something slightly sterile about it. When it's not material you wrote it's always different right?

[Paul keohane]

Yep have had no interest with years,love the first two albums.That gig with Vader and Krisiun was unreal,one of my favourite gigs.Obscura would spike more interst now tbh,great live band.

Obscura and Inferi are the big draws for me

Other than a few songs I haven't really liked anything Decapitated have done since Organic Hallucinosis. But I've never seen them and Nihility is an all time classic so it should be some craic

[Pagan Saviour]

Totally missed the bit about Obscura playing, interest piqued now.

But yeah, Decapitated went a bit Bro-Dude after the crash. Even some of the song titles are so dumb especially in comparison to the concepts explored on both Nihility and Organic. I think it's fitting that Vogg tours with Machine Head now, totally understandable - I'm sure the revenue and exposure is welcome and totally deserved but it's not a million miles away from where Decapitated are musically these days.

[Paul keohane]

I wonder will they play Suffer the children!,they do a good cover of that!

Found this photo from the Nihility tour from 2002 in The Shelter Dublin!.

If it was just decapitated on their own I probably wouldn't be as interested, echo some of the statements made here about their output since Organic, their new albums aren't even bad just not as interesting.

However it's a good package of bands so will be a good night.

[Snare]

Not long to go now, looking forward to this big time.

Ordered the Nihility vinyl repress and it arrived last week will be blasting it over the next few days. Not familiar with Obscura but everyone seems to be raving about them the little bit I have heard sounds like later Gorguts.

Christ I forgot about this again.  Must see can I swing down to the Limerick night of it.  Always great live.

Wouldn't have pegged them in with recent Gorguts, bit more techy death metal and not as much dissonance, been a while though since I've given Gorguts a spin

If you do fancy checking them out I'd reckon Omnivium and Diluvium are their two best. I find all their stuff pretty enjoyable though, although the latest was a bit disappointing

I have a ticket for the Limerick gig to sell, €25. I can't make the gig. Pm if interested.

Looking for a Dublin ticket if there's any going, I was sure I booked one months ago but apparently I didn't and its sold out now
