Background
In mid-2005, Decapitated's vocalist Wojciech "Sauron" Wąsowicz departed from the band and was replaced by Adrian "Covan" Kowanek. Organic Hallucinosis was recorded in August 2005 at Hertz Studio in Białystok, Poland with producers Slawek and Wojtek Wieslawski and features artwork and layout by Seth. The album was released by Earache Records on February 7, 2006 in the United States and on February 13 internationally. A music video was filmed for the song "Day 69" and released that year.
The album release was followed by a headlining European tour starting in September 2006 and a North American tour with Suffocation. Later on, Decapitated's bassist Marcin "Martin" Rygiel departed from the band.
In November, Decapitated's tour bus was involved in an automobile accident in Russia that killed drummer Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka at the age of 23 and seriously injured Covan. The band's guitarist Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka announced an indefinite hiatus.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
