Combining two early demos, 1998's Eye of Horus and 1997's Cemeteral Gardens, as well as a pair of live tracks, The First Damned offers fans a look at the early days of the Polish technical death metal band Decapitated. With a somewhat rawer, less refined approach, the album is definitely something fans of the band will be interested in, providing a window into what sort of sonic destruction they were up to before releasing their debut, Winds of Creation, in 2000. The First Damned provides an unfiltered look at Decapitated's brutal beginnings. ~ Gregory Heaney
