Winds of Creation is the debut studio album by Polish death metal band Decapitated. It was released through Earache Records subsidiary Wicked World on 11 April 2000. The album was produced by Piotr Wiwczarek (aka Peter), from Polish death metal band Vader.
Winds of Creation is notable for the ages of the musicians; despite the technical nature of the music, drummer Vitek (born January 1984) was 15, bassist Rygiel (born April 1983) was 16, guitarist Vogg (born December 1981) was 17, and vocalist Sauron (born June 1981) was 18 at the time of recording.
After its release, Winds of Creation received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Matthias Sheaks of Allmusic said "[...] songwriting is extremely solid; even in the first listen, songs such as the manically frenzied "Blessed" and the beautifully haunting "Dance Macabre" stand out and away from the strange dissonance of "The First Damned" and the call-and-response riffage of "Nine Steps."
All lyrics written by Sauron, except where noted; all music composed by Decapitated.
