"The metal community has lost one of the most talented and skillful drummers of our time! I remember when I first heard DECAPITATED's 'Organic Hallucinosis' and it just blew me away! What a band and WHAT A DRUMMER!!! Vitek was a true talent and drummer genius and his passing is just so very, very wrong! The future will be a sadder place without your drumming!!! Our thoughts go out to the band and to their families in this sad, sad moment.

"Rest in peace, Vitek."
