Description
The first and only album from the Swedish Death metal super group Decollation. This is an obscure gem of unorthodox death metal featuring Kristian Wahlin and Johan Osterberg (Liers in Wait / Grotesque) as well as Thomas Johansson (Ceremonial Oath / Macabre End). Decollation was a shortlived death metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden formed in early 1991 by schoolmates Johan (guitar / vocals), Thomas (bass) and Lars (drums). Soon after inception Niclas joined on keyboards adding a more ambient dimension to their blend of thrashinfused, Florida style death metal. After a couple of shows Lars was replaced by a friend of the band, Kristian. In February 1992 the band entered Sunlight Studios with producer Tomas Skogsberg in order to record 4 songs. Shortly after the recording the band started dissolving. In the fall of 1992 Listenable Records picked up the Sunlight Studios recording, eventually releasing it on cd as Cursed Lands in June of 1993. Now its finally released on vinyl and then presented in a sturdy 350 gram gatefold jacket featuring the original intended artwork from Kristian Wåhlin, with unpublished band photos and layout by Samual Durling who has worked with the band members doing layouts for over 20 years.
