Decapitated drummer Kerim “Krimh” Lechner has left the outfit, offering the following on his departure:

“I sadly have to inform you about some major change that happened in the last months. I am no longer a member of Decapitated! Too many personal differences and other difficulties made me decide like this.

I appreciate the good times we had together and what we could achieve in more than 2 and a half years. Even if our ways are dividing, I wish the band to keep going. However, it’s time for me to move on. I don’t know what will be next but I would like to stay in this business.

I love to write and play music for you guys. This is my life and this is what I want to continue.”

Ex-Vader drummer Pawel Jaroszewicz is currently rumored to be his replacement.
