Alex Rudinger - DECAPITATED - "DAY 69" (ft. Kevin Heiderich)

[@Kmac2021]

The drum break at 2:17 has lived rent free in my head for the better part of 10 years

[@NympoGaming]

Hey Kmaccavelli

[@Jakster840]

How many times have you listened to the conquering dystopia LP?

[@jkh3959]

Kmaaaaaaaaaaac!!!!

[@nicholasward8358]

Samesies tbh :3

[@VoidMaker407]

real

[@ChaosPootato]

The entire album is fucking timeless

[@alfieshaw2931]

Agreed mate. Hoping for a 20th anniversary tour in a few years! Saw them for the third time last Sunday and it was just as good as the previous two times. Such a great live sound like always. Me and my Dad got to meet Vogg too, which was so awesome, such a humble guy and happy to chat to fans.🤘🏼

[@AnaerobicFermentation]

The last good Decapitated album :(

[@ChaosPootato]

@@AnaerobicFermentation Ah come on, Decap' has never been bad, I'm less fond of the late 2010s era after Krimh left but they're still solid albums. Their newest is really fucking good too

[@AnaerobicFermentation]

I don't think they're bad, their sound just changed too much for me @@ChaosPootato

[@theshidde4238]

Brutal Bro!!!

[@x8jason8x]

One of the sickest death metal tracks out there. RIP Vitek

[@KRIMHDrummer]

We love you Rüdi !

[@niteshpokhrel5655]

We love you krimh

[@Dontgiveafuck320]

Alex can't answer, he's too busy eating everything in sight! JFC what happened to this guy? He looks like he's gained 50 lbs of pizza in a few months. LOL

[@emergentform1188]

hell yes we do

[@StillbjornOne]

He's still bringing the hammer down HARD. What the fuck does it matter what he's eating? Alex is the goat. Try to keep up, bub.@@Dontgiveafuck320

[@JD-sc7bd]

You are beast mfr too lol

[@viniciusdiniz5189]

Long live Vitek (Witold Kiełtyka) the creator of the MASTERPIECE drum composition. Jan 24 , 1984 🌟 Nov 02, 2007 ✝️

[@blumetech99]

Dude this is HUGE that you’re covering death metal songs again. Takes me back to the old Rudinger days. So fucking good man!

[@PaulOuzounov]

Good to see another one of the best death metal drummers posting on this drummers page... hope you're doing great brother!

[@skywalkerluk1]

Vitek RIP ....he was teenager at the time when he wrote this and also played. Decapitated ❤❤❤

[@66Samus]

Fucking destroyed it. 🤘🤘 Ohhhh YURRRRR!!!!

[@ravensongstudios]

Man, every time I see covers I am happy that people still know who Vitek was, but it still leaves me sad. You did a good job with this.

[@FranciscoPalacios.CFH.]

Feel the same bro, Alex on this gave me the chills

[@quadblaster69420]

Vitek was literally irreplaceable. Such a unique and incredible talent. I miss him every time I listen to older Decapitated.

[@ContaminatedBeef]

Rudinger and Heiderich? Talk about a stacked lineup

[@zachripa4158]

Peace to Vitek, he was a great drummer and only just getting started . This is great cover and way to pay homage to a great drummer !

[@ScottMillerCovers]

I love how respectful you were to the parts, but still added your own unique twist! You and Vitek are forever the goats.

[@MattJFilms]

Killllerr cover and what a classic jam! The OG's will remember hearing 2:18 in that old "Top 10 Fastest Double Bass" video lmao!

[@noahriva]

Oh my you just unlocked a memory over here dude!🥲🙏

[@robertwalker3357]

Lombardo

[@petedog9581]

@@robertwalker3357 Maybe back in 1988.

[@ProfChocMilk]

I used to watch that video all the time 😂

[@martinsitek5046]

What's even more astonishing. Is that Witek actually played this with construction boots on... if you can find a video of him playing this live, do yourself a favor and check it out lol

[@P0LYBiUS7]

FUCK that was clean, holy shit. A fantastic homage to the legend.

[@msnrc]

I am a big fan of Kevin and I am so happy that he gets more recognition! He's a great musician!

[@KeithMerrow]

This drum mix is so insane, and obviously you nailed this. But man, this sounds so powerful, I keep coming back to it. Love u Rudi!

[@KevinHeiderich]

I hope you also like the guitars 🥺

[@Djcimofficial]

Still blasting this album till this day. Vitek was a monster behind the kit.

[@robertwalker3357]

Slayer

[@FeGuilger]

Decapitated made this album and it changed everything. Masterpiece!!!!

[@deanturner7630]

Kevin is the GOAT. We needed this!

[@matthewburdett55]

I’m amazed how high that stick comes up on the blasts, fast and still powerful as hell using the fingers. BEAST

[@raymondbauer2152]

Kevin is one of the highest skilled guitarists on the planet, sick to see that you're working together!

[@MrErikchaugen]

Kevin is awesome on guitar here!!!

[@VoxelMitosis]

Organic have been one of my favorite albums since the first time I heard it.

[@nicster23]

This song always gets me so pumped, you and Kevin made it sound so good too!

[@mrTJ94]

Ohhhh hell ya!!

[@DiogoBarbosaDB]

The world is not prepared for Kevin!

[@TBliss88]

Hell yes brotha

[@PaulOuzounov]

Arguably the best death metal album to ever exist.

[@nj1255]

Vitek and Vogg were just the perfect groovy duo. The riffs and drums parts of Decapitated from Winds of Creation to Organic Hallucinosis are unrivaled! I still think Vogg writes some of the catchiest and groovy riffs today, but I kinda miss the insane drumming of Vitek to go with the riffs. Great job with the cover from both you and Kevin!

[@OriginalGaucho]

Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka!

[@tatuhalmetoja1154]

Vitek ❤️

[@pacoside1092]

As per usual.... DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@Jobber_84]

The instrumental fill was just FIRE!

[@spiderexile]

IMO, this is the best cover of this song on the internet. It's got the phrasing and the feel that I think Vitek had live and on the record. Honorable mention to Krimh, who also got the feel/spirit of Vitek's playing with the cover he did. Vitek was a genius to be playing at this level so young. RIP to a young master.

[@janusbondi]

Absolutely surgical performance! I started watching you way back, like back in 2012 I think, before you joined the faceless, and I always wanted to see you play something of this album, because I knew you would be able to nail it. The day has finally come and god damn is it perfect! This album is a masterpiece and will always be my no.1, I would love to see you do more of this if you can. Believe it or not this cover is a dream come true for me, youve been my idol since I was 18 and always wanted to see you play my favorite album. Thank you for this!

[@metaldrummersonly4402]

Great drumming. Kevin is one of my favorite all time guitar players

[@johnnygotgrowls]

This is fantastic and Kevin really did do an unreal job of these guitars. Unreal. Makes me wanna do the yelly yelly bad guy vocals over this

[@KevinHeiderich]

Dude we're still sitting on an instrumental version of this with programmed drums from Alex library, that needs a singer!

[@otravoyadnoe]

This song is my all-time Decapitated favorite, but I can't listen to it anymore because it reminds me of their gig in my home town two days before the band bus got crashed causing Vitek's death. Even 15 years later I just can't.

[@cmd_f5]

awesome cover guys! Glad you got Kevin on this track \M/ what a beast. Organic is one of Decap's best albums IMO. Such a huge, punchy sound.

[@dwreck0rds]

YES

[@rabbitz7740]

the mix on this is unreal!

[@deathmetaldave]

Holy shit

[@TESLACE1337]

What a pleasure to watch

[@fightclub94]

Man, what a beast of a song, played by a beast of a drummer here! You killed it like always! 🔥🤘😎🤘🔥

[@GrofdesignVideography]

Mindblowing as always, but MAN those guitars are tight! Also the tone... thought those were stems straight off the album

[@Big_Yum]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@miguelryde5654]

Favourite song from decapitated!!

[@peterhughes614]

Oh shiiiiiit aleeeeeexx

[@mooredrummer95]

New cameras looking GREAAAATTT!!

[@QuincyKane]

This was sick! Phenomenal playing!

[@zanebarrett3728]

The drums already sound incredible. Then you see all the little extras Vitek threw in that give it that extra edge. Organic Halucinosis for lyfe

[@papapoodo6685]

FUCK YEAH!!!

[@VictorCarnevali]

i dont want to give it another like. Its perfect the way iot is

[@jamieplatt1243]

Vitek was a king, and so is Alex ♡♡♡

[@robbledot7290]

RIP Vitek

[@ka-ar]

Ну братец, ну я скажу Вам, милейший мой Друг, Вы чистейшей воды мастер своего дела. Нет ещё в Мире такого боилианты, который бы имел столько граней и такой спектр испытаных мной эмоций.

[@jwade848]

Love it man. Now waiting on any Archspire cover!

[@ellanceo6666]

Vitek Approves 💯

[@Wherespaulbearer]

man, you got chonky. In the best way possible

[@filetmignon4446]

Shoutout big boy drummers who lean into their kits for that extra bic mac attack! Alex grind pelletier.. j'taime mon amie.

[@lastditch727]

Wow dude, this is ridiculously good.

[@oriricha]

A pleasure, as always.

[@fearinoculum7181]

I was lucky to see Vitek play this when decapitated played with biomechanical at tjs in Newport back in 06.

[@nicramtimzs6245]

I remember some of the Polish reviews of OH when it came out and I think in one of them the record was described as ideally cut professional product devoid of any unnecessary embellishments. A piece of perfectly constructed craftsmanship with nothing to add or subtract. Everybody in the comments has already praised You for Your take, so I am just going to add that Your kit sounds amazing :)

[@Alx1830]

Go to Slipknot bro you are the indicated!!

[@drphilbangedme]

Best metal drummer on youtube

[@baedrummer]

Fuck Yeah!

[@blackseebs]

I just got home from tour with them, it was so sick to see this every night alongside Nihility in full. Great job as always! 👏

[@jesserapkin2660]

Opened KZbin and saw there was a Vitek cover and rolled my eyes….then I saw that it was Alex playing it and I knew it would be great.

[@mihalyvogtschmidt5700]

Dioooos

[@Phicxtion]

You might just very well be one of the best metal drummers ever.

[@Chapsu911]

Saw Decapitated live last year and their performance was absolutely spot on. Every note and nuance was there. Love this band

[@combatwombatt]

Dude hearing this in modern day mixing is fucking AMAZING

[@EMDrecs1]

DAMN!! Hellz yea🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@JoeZarx]

Behemoth, Zenith Passage, and now DECAP? Fkn stellar RIP VITEK

[@MarcelSchoenegge]

Fuck yeah!!

Wow! That was something to see!

[@DuderofDudeness]

[@Kindling_the_Void]

Sheesh!

[@mileshouse666]

Already a subscriber, ty kevin, my middle name, saw decapitated on b2b days years ago, like 2009 or something, this cover brought me back to them years, ty alex and kevin

[@jorgtrimborn1538]

Thank you Rudi for making a cover of one of the greatest Death Metal Song ever written...Witold Kiełtyka was a beast...I had the opportunity to see him with decapitated in Germany many years ago...his playing was flawless... You should do a playthrough/cover of each song of that album...it deserves it...

[@wothesperus]

Epic!!! Amazing cover. Love that song and that album and the drumming on it. Vitek was such a naturally gifted drummer. RIP.

[@EviLLivEClan]

you’re on a another lvl dude

[@JOpethNYC]

Awesome playthrough 🤘. RIP Vitek 🖤🥁

[@MJ-zm5fm]

Sick thanks man, I've been trying to think of the name of this fkn song for ages.

[@DirtyHarry771]

Damn!!! Skillz to pay the billz!!!

[@maurilo.rezende]

This snare sound is amazing!

[@thedissonant]

Absolutely fantastic. Sounds like gunshots and works perfectly with the kicks.

[@walpurgisnacht9234]

I fucking love you dude. lol. So clean, so powerful , so tiiiiiggghht.

[@BlackHowl1]

Bravo. Vitek would be proud I'm sure.

[@ProfessorECSoffical]

You’ve done it again Rudy! You are an animal

[@DJTheMetalheadMercenary]

AWESOME cover!!! RIP/ RIC Vitek 🤘🤘

[@JuanchoSánchez-g7u]

El mejor Cover que he visto en mi vida de Day 69 haces todos los detalles que hacia el difunto Vitek idéntico al original ...saludos viejo Alex

[@Syphon_Drummer]

Alex in his bulking phase and he’s rocking it. Perfection of a cover as always!

[@MRSTEELBLADE]

holy molly

[@GenericUsername23]

Amazing song, amazing performance

[@joshuasplural]

Man i love your descriptions, just like lovely stories about how you discovered stuff. We all have these stories of our own, its just sick to see yours and to hear your passion coming through talking about all the sick music you've heard, the artists you look up to, and the stuff you're playing and doin in your life

[@bertrandmichotte1501]

Thank you both for this flawless cover. Plus I really loved your "over-the-top" video description. Such a great tribute to an absolute monster of a band / album / drummer.

[@emergentform1188]

Bloody hell. This is obscene. I'm blinded by the beastiness and eloquent complexity. We are not worthy.
