Decapitated Members In Car Crash

2007-11-01 by SoulReaper | 49 Comments
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 hurt 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.

Car accidents are always horrible things. Irony, on the other hand, is awesome and hilarious.

If the title was intentional then its not very funny. If it was an accident then its kind of a funny mistake. In a dark sense. Thats horrible news though. I love those guys. I hope the best for them.

Rest in peace Vitek. This was never funny to begin with. Great talent gone to a waste. If this could only have gone to a worthless being such as Pete Wentz instead of him.

"Rest in peace Vitek. This was never funny to begin with. Great talent gone to a waste. "

He was 15 on Winds of Creation. He proved you can be young yet be a top contender in technical music. He created some pretty complex (and amazingly good to listen to) shit, and despite him dying (RIP) he definitely has not gone to waste. This is probably going to make him reasonably more well known as more people hear about it - then realize how great of a drummer he really is, and his status will live on as an incredible musician.

No one innocent deserves to die so young. Shut the fuck up you ignorant jerk.

Yeah, thats real classy joking about someone who died. How would you feel if someone was making cracks about someone close to you dying? Or even about a musician you liked? Have some respect for God sakes.
