On March 8, 2009, after a period of disbandment, Vogg announced he was planning to continue the band and was searching for a new drummer and vocalist.
Covan was unable to continue with Decapitated due to the slow improvement of his condition.
In early 2009, Vogg participated on recording of the guitars for Vader's album Necropolis and continued with the band on a tour in support of the album, starting in September.

In mid-2009 Vogg stated: "It has been the hardest thing for me to move on without Vitek by my side, but he would have wanted me to continue with the band.
Finally, I have found some great musicians who can continue the work of Vitek and Covan." "
There's no sense in stopping this amazing thing we built up so many years ago together with Vitek, Sauron, Martin and Covan."

On July 31, 2009, the Austrian drummer Kerim "Krimh" Lechner of Thorns of Ivy joined Decapitated.
On November 20, 2009, the new line-up was completed with the vocalist Rafał Piotrowski of the band Ketha and bassist Filip "Heinrich" Hałucha of Vesania and Masachist.
Decapitated continued with support of Nuclear Blast record label and Hard Impact Music management.
The band toured in United Kingdom in February 2010 as well as in April and May in Australia, New Zealand and European festivals and the Summer Slaughter tour in United States in mid-2010.

The band entered RG Studio in Gdańsk on February 9, to begin recording their fifth studio album entitled Carnival Is Forever.
The album was produced by Vogg; while mixing and drums production was done by Swedish producer Daniel Bergstrand, who previously worked with Behemoth and Meshuggah among others.
Heinrich departed from Decapitated after the recording in order to concentrate on Vesania, and Carnival Is Forever was released on July 12, 2011.

On November 1, 2011, the band was on board LOT Polish Airlines Flight 16 when the crew were unable to extend the landing gear and were forced to land the aircraft on its belly.
Everyone aboard the flight survived.
Decapitated went on a European tour with Meshuggah in mid-2012.
Lechner left the band in September 2012 and was replaced by former Vader drummer Paweł Jaroszewicz.
In late 2012, Decapitated played concerts in Nepal, Japan, and Thailand, among others.
In 2013, the band joined Lamb of God on a tour in North America.
