Now what this album brings forth is nothing really new or experimental to the genre. That's no matter, because with music like this you don't need anything different as Winds Of Creation delivers simply magnificent, straight forward Death Metal executed perfectly. In fact, what makes this work so good is as mentioned before, sticking to the roots of the genre but the fuel to the fire is really the great musicianship and tight execution of this four piece. What I'm coming to here is that Decapitated are more than capable of good song writing and right off the bat with the title track opener you know you're in for some seriously good, catchy and brutal music. The next few tracks 'Blessed' and 'The First Damned' won't prove you wrong which makes this record consistently good and very enjoyable to listen to. There are a lot of catchy riffs and fast 'choppy'/chromatic guitar passages that sometimes end up being fairly technical which just makes the music even more interesting. Vocalist 'Sauron' offers low guttural growls that fit perfectly with the music. The drumming handled by Vitek is well done and will only improve on their next releases. Another highlight of this record is that you can hear the bass perfectly. Last but not least, watch out for the solos, all you guitar fanatics. The one on 'Human's Dust' is outstanding.
'Winds Of Creation' is perhaps their most raw sounding album which gives the songs a more old school and mean attitude than their next three releases. There is nothing to complain about in the production, it is exactly how it should sound; Earache records did their job well.
If you are looking for quality Death Metal that will surely stand out in your collection I can easily recommend you this piece of work. It is among the best of this type of music without a doubt. Decapitated have gained notice worldwide after this debut and bring on the competition in the genre where many promising acts are rising. So look out for 'Winds Of Creation' on the shelves of your local CD store if you don't already have it as it is a must for anyone brutal out there.

Amazing album. The best of Decapitated and one of the best in Death metal. Technically perfect, variable drums, and a whole range of riffs used. The vocals are okay. Quote: Very true, ''The First Damned'' and ''Humans Dust'' represents this very well, and are my fav tracks.

Superb technicality and perfection displayed in this album, by these polish death masters One of the best in technical death probably next to Cryptopsy's None So Vile

GREAT!
