Michał Łysejko has been the drummer for the band Decapitated for the last five years. One could even say he has made a name for himself in the extreme metal drumming community thanks to the death metal export from Poland.
As it turns out, it is time for changes. Michał’s statement on his FB profile reads as follows:
“The last 5 years with Decapitated were amazing. They shaped me as a musician and human being, but I’ve decided to move forward and leave the band. I’d like to thank all those who supported my activities while being part of this outstanding band. It was an honor to share the stage with you and all those who took part in awesome tours and gigs. These unforgettable moments had a huge impact on my life, for which I’ll be forever grateful. I have, however, come to the point where I feel I need to make some changes and move boldly in new musical directions! I will keep you updated. Cheers! And once again – thanks for everything!”
The band have no plans of slowing down and have already announced some dates for Killing The European Cult 2019 tour (see: HERE). They also refer to Michał Łysejko‘s departure in a Facebook statement, stating the stand-in’s name as well:
“We would like to thank [Michał] for his friendship, his huge support, and his hard work as the drummer for Decapitated. We wish him well on his new path. All the best, BROTHER!
We will take some time before we find and announce our new drummer. Until then, our friend James Stewart (Vader) will join us as a session drummer. Luckily, he found some free time between VADER shows and is able to play some selected live shows. You will all experience his talents soon.”
