 Changes in Blitzkrieg 5 tour schedule!
With shows in Rostock and Hamburg VADER and guest acts kicked off "Blitzkrieg 5 Tour 2010". The tour will last for over thee weeks from now. However, there have been two important changes in the previously announced tour schedule. Tomahavk Festival scheduled for March 13 (featuring GORGOROTH, MAYHEM, OBITUARY, VADER) has been officially cancelled due to a sluggish ticket sales. On this day (March 13) you can see VADER in Kassel (K-19). More info can be found on www.98records.de. Show in Goeteborg scheduled for March 19 has been moved to a different location (Parken instead of previously announced Sticky Fingers). During the currently running tour VADER featuring new line-up (Peter-guitars, vocals / Paul-drums / Reyash-bass / Spider-guitars) is going to present a different live set (compared to "Funeral Nation Tour 2009 and 2010"). Right after the tour in Europe the band will appear on another tour in the US together with OVERKILL. Then, VADER will hit the road under the flag of "Unholy Titans Tour 2010". In the end of May VADER will attack the East on a tour covering Russia, Belorus, the Ukraine and Asia. More info will follow soon.

 Happy New Year 2010: Peter (guitar, vocal) checks in!
Hell-o all VaderManiax !!!!!!
On behalf of VADER commando I would like to wish You extremely metal year 2010!!!! Let it be a fulfillment of your dreams and expectations!!!
I also take the occassion to briefly summarize the past year 2009...It was another hard-working year in our career. We played nearly 150 gigs!!! It was also a time of trial for the new line up of the band and... we passed the exam, just because "when there's a WILL, there's a WAY"!!! The band was well received by both European and US Fans (worth to mention that in the US we played nearly 40 gigs closing the year 2009). But of course, the most important for us is a new record deal with mighty Nuclear Blast and the new album "Necropolis". The album was released in the end of August (Europe) and September (the US) and immediately gained a huge number of supporters- both among diehard VADER's maniacs and also large amount of new Fans. Thank You for this!!! I'm so sorry to say that our "favorite" Internet instigators and trolls (I am talking here mainly to our Polish countrymen ...) didn't see band's collapse and downfall. VADER still exists and "Necropolis" is just the beginning!
How about recent news from band's camp? Guitarist Marek Paj±k known from a Polish band ESQARIAL will join VADER on the upcoming tour with MARDUK in January. Vogg who played with us during the last year is going to hit the road with his great band DECAPITATED. We wish Him all the best for the future, another crushing album of "Decaps" and would like to thank for a great time He spent with VADER. Let the Power be with You, Brother!!! \m/ In mid February we kick off a tour in the UK, Ireland and Benelux. Right after the tour we hit the road again, appearing on US KillFest together with OVERKILL....Once again THANK YOU for a great 2009 !!!!! Stay Metal!!

 Funeral Nation Tour: Peter checks in from the road!
Welcome all Vadermaniax!!!!!
Funeral Nation Tour 2009 in Europe is coming to its end...Awesome
time, that we have spent with our Friends from The Ordher, Fleshgod
Apocalypse and veterans from Marduk is gone so incredible fast. As
always-professional work of Massive Music, hard work of our Team and
powerful shows left so many unforgotten memories in our hearts....and
hunger for more! We can inform You already, that we'll continue this
"Blitzkrieg" with Marduk in January in South part of Europe-also in
some countries, we couldn't play this year.More details are coming up
soon! On the Tour we were trying to play songs from our last album
"Necropolis" mixed with some older, "classical" Vader tunes. Of
course, it was not possible to play as much as we wanted having just
an hour to play (or even less sometimes...). In 2010 we're gonna
configure live set , so all those Die Hard Vader Maniax should be
enough satisfied as well. On 2nd November but we fly to US continent
to tour again and we'll stay over there til mid of December. I'll keep
trying -of course - to inform You all about progress of "Monsters of
Death" US Tour. See You in Hell !!!!! \m/ (Peter)

Good news from the US!
VADER's brand new full length album is going very well in the States. "Necropolis" sold around 1,130 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (Note: Internet/digital sales **ARE** included in the SoundScan totals.) The CD landed at position No. 19 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. In other categories, the album got the 10th position in "Current Hard Music Albums Core Stores", #76 in Indy/Small Chain Core Stores and #84 in "Top Hard Music Albums". It's a good result for the band that actually has never been promoted in the States. "Necropolis" landed at position 5 in Polish OLiS (best selling albums). More sales results will follow soon.
In other news, in the beginning of November VADER kicks off "Masters Of Death Tour 2009" covering the States and Canada. The band will be teaming up with such acts as Decrepit Birth, Warbringer, The Amenta, Augury and SwashBuckle. The tour will last till mid December.

 "Never Say My Name" videoclip released!
After many weeks of hard work the new VADER's official videoclip for "Never Say My Name" track (taken from "Necropolis" album) is finally ready to unleash. Inspired by Patrick Graham's bestselling book "L'Évangile Selon Satan" (translation: "The Gospel According to Satan"), the clip tells an alternate story of the death of a messiah who curses humanity before his death on the cross and chooses life in Hell instead of Heaven. Perhaps because of its "controversial" title and content, this book is not available in the U.S. in English, but a French version can be ordered from Canada. The clip was produced by Polish Inbornmedia company, who did our two previous videoclips "Helleluyah" and "The Witcher". Special thanx should go to the clip's directors: Maciej Pawełczyk and Radek Wikiera and cameraman Jakub Jakielaszek. We would also say thanx and hello to Infanterie Regiment Nr 52 for a great whipping scenes, very professional crucifixion as well as the other people who were involved in making that clip. Three longs days of hard work and a few weeks of editing, post-processing... but it was worth! The result is amazing!

 Blitzkrieg 5: the tour summary!
This year's Blitzkrieg 5 finally came to the end! The tour went even better than the offensive under the same name sometime in 1939... 15 battles, a lot of fans, amazing shows, good organisation. And of course the bands! Special guest Marduk who did their very best in Poland, both guest acts Chainsaw and Esqarial warming up the fans in so perfect style. And finally VADER- headliners of the tour, still so perfect and merciless in their bloody work! Band's mainman Peter checks in: "The show in Toruń on 13th September crowned Polish part of VADER's Blitzkrieg Tour 2009. We were playing with Marduk (and supporting Esqarial,Chainsaw and Lost Soul) in 15 cities of Poland. VADER and Massive Music would like to thank all those, who has spent great time with us on this braincrashing tournee!!! In the season between April and mid September we organized a number of shows in our country-also in smaller, not often visited cities. Next BLitz in two years...However, we plan to continue to play concerts in some places, which we missed in 2009. And in a week we continue Blitzkrieg in West Europe. THANX one more time and SEE YOU SOON!!!!! Poland should be proud having so dedicated Metal Heads indeed!!!!! \m/ " (Peter - VADER).
"Massive Music would like to thanx to all the bands who took part in the tour, especially for great shows they all played every night and total dedication. We would also like to thanx to our roadcrew (Marek, Wacek, January, Kuba, Darek) for their big effort and everyday hard work (thanx to you everything went so great from a technical side) and the other guys (Darek, Witek, Piotr, our mighty drivers Krzysztof and Darek) for the care, safe transport, catering, merchandise and the other things. Blitzkrieg 5 went just perfect and it was definitely one of the best tours we took part in recent years!" (Mariusz Kmiołek - Massive Music) .

First gigs went brilliant. Over 1200 crazy screaming maniacs came to see the band in Olsztyn (where VADER was actually born many years ago) and the gig was nothing but perfect. The tour is going on and we're definitely looking for more! You should also know about 5 songs from the new album that VADER added to their live set.

 "Never Say My Name" video trailer available!
Today we are going to present you the official trailer of "Never Say My Name" videoclip. Once again VADER cooperated with Inbornmedia who made our two previous videoclips ("Helleluyah (God Is Dead!)" and "The Witcher"). Band's PzGeneral Peter checks in from... hell:
"We started the video shooting on August 15, at about noon. That day we were in for the Last Supper and the slaughter of the Messiah's followers shots, while during the night we were to take some bluebox and Janus shots. It was quite an unusual date, as the same day in Wroclaw the masses came to see a light-and-water show taking place just 200 meters from the place of our shooting the 'Bible scenes'. Lots of people were wondering "What's being shot here? A new TV series? The Bible stories? ...or maybe a Discovery program?" Despite 12 hours of hard work and constant stage make-up changes we managed to finish before 1 a.m. We went through it without a bloodshed - well, despite the Last Supper scene ...but the blood was a fake ;-) The next day we took the martyr shots and the Romans' armament ones, which were crucial for 'Necropolis'. Sunday. The unbearable heat and another couple of hours in the nearby gravel pit. It wasn't so easy that day... The owner of the place, who at first was eager to rent it to the Inbornmedia crew, found it enough when it came to the crucifixion, burning and the transformation of the Messiah into Janus. My roars and the burying crucifix brought about an immediate response of the security guards. They called the police and we were supposed to leave the gravel pit at once... Fortunately, we managed to 'steal' one more hour before the cops arrived. There only remained ashes. And we, together with the Romans, came back to the hotel at about....2 a.m. And there were still the final scenes left. These we're going to finish on tomorrow....but in a different place."
The premiere of the videoclip coming soon (mid September). Today you should also visit VADER's Myspace page to listen to "Never Say My Name" in audio version and whet your appetite for the forthcoming video. In other news, first reviews of "Necropolis" are just amazing. The second place in German Rock Hard (first position goes to Megadeth and their new album) and the fifth one in German Metal Hammer- it speaks for itself. The album is available in Europe since a two weeks and everything has been going great so far (except for a small delay in Poland). US fans will get "Necropolis" on September 22. There's also a good news for all iPhone owners! There is new App called Nuclear Blast, where You can follow news from this awesome record company. There's a song "Rise Of The Undead" available among the other shows info etc. There is also new VADER site on Twitter available now! Just go to: www.twitter.com/vaderband

VADER = Warner Music = hellish promotion!
Promotional campaign of VADER's brand new full length album "Necropolis" has just started. Thanx to Warner Music and their outstanding support the band is finally back in Polish media. Our previous album "XXV" released under the wings of Mystic Productions wasn't promoted at all. This time we've got a very strong support from Warner and Beata Raizler. They are working really hard to promote our new album in a best possible way. Dozens of interviews for paper magazines (for the first time in VADER's career we've got cover stories in four leading Polish magazines like Teraz Rock, Metal Hammer, Hard Rocker and Mystic Art), webzines, radio and TV stations - it all speaks for itself! We are more than happy! Under this link you can find a video interview for Polish music portal cgm.pl (unfortunately, available in Polish language only). We look for more! Stay tuned for more!

 VADER announce North American tour!
Polish deathsters VADER will team up with California's Decrepit Birth, L.A.'s Warbringer, The Amenta from Australia, S.W.W.A.A.T.S. from Florida, and Montreal, Canada's Augury for a 38-show "Decibel Presents: Monsters Of Death Tour" through North America beginning November 4th in Baltimore, Maryland. VADER guitarist/vocalist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek shares his thoughts on the upcoming trek: "Metal always was and still needs to be a brotherhood. All we were doing [in the past] to support the music and the scene was cooperating with other bands. Natural selection decides if a band is really dedicated or if it's just an episode. Not much has changed today, actually. Even if the so-called "metal music business" changed some rules, there will still be those who play with passion and those who want success. It is not us who wanna be "a judge," so we always try to tour with bands we have a good relationship with. A good time and a friendly atmosphere is important for all of us. I only hope that everybody will enjoy the tour and will come away with good lessons from it... like we in VADER always do. Deciding on a set list is always a problem. With every new album, the problem grows bigger and bigger. I decide the set list and I'm always confused. Usually, I try to mix some of old VADER hits with new stuff. The set might be different and depends on the conditions. For the upcoming tour through the USA and Canada, we're gonna make the set slightly different from our shows in Poland and Western Europe. I also asked our fans about their favorite VADER songs. It may help me make a choice. I wish we could play all of our new songs, but it is not possible. I think we'll do 5 pieces from Necropolis and mix them in with some old VADER. The veterans and also the new "in-VADERs" will find something interesting for sure! After the maniacs learn the new album better, we can always add more songs."
The Monsters of Death Tour will mark the North American debut of VADER's live line-up:
- Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek - Guitar/Vocals
- Waclaw "Vogg" Kieltyka - Guitar
- Reyash - Bass
- Pawel Jaroszewicz - Drums
VADER's new album, Necropolis, will be released in the U.S. & Canada on September 22nd. Recorded at Hertz Studios in Bialystok, Poland with the Wieslawski Bros., Tue Madsen mixed the album at Antfarm Studios in Denmark. Cover artwork is by Jacek Wisniewski. Necropolis will be released in two formats: a regular jewel-case (11 tracks only) and a limited edition digi-pak with the following bonus tracks + bonus DVD:
01. Devilizer
02. Rise Of The Undead
03. Never Say My Name
04. Blast
05. The Seal
06. Dark Heart
07. Impure
08. Summoning The Futura
09. Anger
10. We Are Horde
11. When The Sun Drowns In Dark

 Extermination goes on!
Yesss! Extermination! Total extermination and destruction! Last week VADER played some shows (new pics can be found in our gallery) in such places as Bielsko-Biała (Poland), Brnenec (Czech Republic) and Kalisz (Poland! Metalheads from Bielsko Biała once again proved their total dedication, over 400 people came to celebrate the night. "Fans from Bielsko are always a big surprise for me. Without any mercy, from the first tone till the last one: 100 % of dedication, total destruction! It was a very brutal show. We had some minor technical problems but in the end everything exploded like a bomb! Short party after the show, small listening session of our new album. What a great night! Thanx Bielsko Biała! " (Peter/ VADER) After many years of absence the band returned to Kalisz to unleash pure hell on Earth! "Wow, it was another great show... Extreme like in the 80-s! I remember our early years and shows we played in a venue called "Luzak" in Olsztyn: overcrowded venue and sweat running down the walls. Kalisz was the same. Over 250 fans crowded in a venue for 100 people (at the most). It was our decision and hopefully people were satisfied with our show. We couldn't spread our wings on a small stage but in the end, the show turned out great. Thank you all! You rule! See you on Blitzkrieg tour which means big venues, great sound and killing production. Stay VADERized!!!" (Peter/VADER)
After the show in Bielsko Biała VADER also played on a small festival in Czech Republic. Now the band is gearing up for the next shows. On June 20 we appear on one of the biggest festivals in Europe: Hellfest Festival 2009!

 VADER unveils secrets of "Necropolis"!
Long awaited VADER's new full length album entitled "Necropolis" will be released on August 21 through Nuclear Blast. The album will be available as a standard CD edition, digi pack (featuring two cover tracks and bonus DVD) edition and vinyl edition. The album artwork (click on the thumbnail to see a bigger picture) and the whole layout was made by Jacek Wi¶niewski (who also made cover arts for such albums as "Black To The Blind", "Litany", "Revelations" and many more). "Necropolis" was recorded at Hertz Studio with Sławek and Wojtek Wiesławski behind the helm. Then the album was mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at his Antfarm Studio (it's been band's first cooperation with a foreign producer since "The Ultimate Incantation"). The result of that cooperation is simply fantastic!
"Tue Madsen did tremendous work! He modeled power on this album. It is not easy to make VADER sound heavy and clear. When I was listening to the master tape for a first time, I knew after the opening notes that 'Necropolis' is gonna be a BLAST indeed!!! Tue thinks the same, which makes me even more happy. No VADER album sounded so powerful without loss of all these details in the songs. I am impressed indeed!!! We will do video clips, of course! I'm not sure yet which songs are gonna be chosen. I have some 'evil stories' in my mind just waiting to be realized. Personally, I want to see a clip for 'Devilizer', which opens 'Necropolis'. The CD front cover was done by Jacek Wisniewski and explains what's inside the album... We summoned the Old Spirits again. The Unknown is awakened...again. 'Necropolis' is exactly like the picture seen on the front cover: solid, metal and evil, with many details, backgrounds and... hidden mysteries. There's also another thing that don't let me fall asleep since a few days. I mean very honest, positive, almost enthusiastic response from Nuclear Blast!" (Peter-VADER)
Digi pack edition of the album will feature two cover songs: "Black Metal" of VENOM (with a guest appearance of Bart Krysiuk from HERMH), and "Fight Fire With Fire" of METALLICA (featuring Maciek Taff from ROOTWATER, BLACK RIVER). Another special thing is a bonus DVD featuring a part of a charity show for Covan (DECAPITATED) the band played on April 26 in Krakow. The show recorded by 5 cameras, dynamic editing and HD quality - all that made by Inbornmedia Company from Wrocław.

VOGG:
"Winterfest 2009 was in my opinion tremendous. Great organization, good promotion and no problem at all...DEICIDE was destroying every evening!!! It was for me, Peter, Paul and Reyash just a second tour together but I saw all Fans really satisfied from how we performed. I'd like to thank to Massive Music ,Peter, Fabricio, Wsciekly, Jurgen, and all "gypsies" for professional job and awesome atmosphere every night hehehe. Till next time!!!!"
REYASH:
"...after so successful tour in November in Scandinavia/Baltic Lands we all were waiting for Winterfest 2009- next tour organized by Massive Music... We met on 6th January in Progresja Club in Warsaw to prepare the set. Every one relaxed and filled with energy , ready for war... After 3 hours rehearsal (with Riverside practicing just behind the wall...)we spend time in a restaurant next door, having pizza and some good beers. Buzzi (our Friend carrying about the merch)showed up soon and the rest of our team fallowed him: "gypsies" from Krakov January/Vacek and Diabel,. The guys took our gear pretty fast to the trailer and in deep frost (minus 25 degrees) we took direction Massive Music HQ. Mario, Eva and Darek (tour manager) , Piotr and both Crisses (drivers) were awaiting us. Fast supper, cigarette, beer and we all moved to the nightliner... We drove somewhere in Germany to pick up SAMAEL and the rest of Swiss crew.... I woke up at noon in Amsterdam , where the second nightliner was waiting with Australians from AMENTIA, Americans from ORDER OF ENNEAD and our sound master Fabricio. DEVIAN dudes appeared just in next minutes...We were waiting just for DEICIDE. Ralf Santolla showed up soon after fallowed by Jack Owen and Steve Asheim, who came up from darkness in lather suit... After while MR. Glen Benton showed up as well ! with a smile big like Hell...
All was completed (two buses and 35 persons) and we start to Tillburg. So was the TEAM. Everything went well since the very beginning of the tour: professional bands-playing like Hell every evening - good venues, great number of Fans, awesome crew and organization, good food. VADER were more and more aggressive every next show. For a first time I was playing on Fender Precision Bass and it was so great feeling banging head with musicians like Peter, Vogg and Paul indeed. Tremendous fourteen shows, last three sold out... Bratislava killed and Poland was probably the best on tour! Every night crazy afterparty with cool Friends... and so on every evening. Thanx so much for Massive Music for professionalism !!!
Metal on!!!
PAUL:
Winterfest is just over and I can already say, that it was on of the best - if not the best - tour I ever took part at!!! All was so much professional prepared. Great atmosphere and cool company let everyone spend great time indeed. Of course - concerts were the most important and -to be honest -I felt little stress in Polish part of the tour. It were the first shows in Poland in this line up and I was not sure, how the response gonna be like. So the applause for VADER and great numbers of Fans was nice surprise for me. THANX SO MUCH for support !!! It was really important for me indeed. This is noting but big motivation for next VADER album and giving 200% more on next shows for VADER !!!"

 Winterfest 2009- the final countdown!
Only 10 days left! "Winterfest 2009" featuring DEICIDE, SAMAEL, VADER, DEVIAN, ORDER OF ENNEAD and THE AMENTA starts on January 8 in Tilburg. That's gonna be the first big European tour in 2009. DEICIDE will appear on it to promote their latest album "Till Death Do Us Part" (Earache Records 2008). Americans will com to Europe in their strongest line up, featuring Glen Benton. Actually, band's mainman can't wait to play in Europe: "Hello Europe, I will see you the fans next week on the upcoming Europe run, I'm very excited to be coming there to perform for you again, so get ready...GLEN BENTON is coming to town..." /Glen Benton.
The next band appearing on the tour- Swiss SAMAEL has been preparing material for the next studio album. Their setlist prepared for this tour will feature some classic songs and perhaps- some new tracks, who knows? Vorph commented on upcoming tour: "2009 definitely start as a good year! Our new album "Above" will be released on the 6th of March and we're all excited about the upcoming Winterfest tour. This time, we will visit some places we haven't been before or haven't been for a long time, and as a way to celebrate our 20 years existence we prepared a special set list which includes lot of old songs, some we haven't play for ages. You may be assured that sharing the stage with bands like Vader and Deicide will help bringing out the hardest side of S A M A E L. See you on tour!" /Vorph.
VADER are still celebrating band's 25-th anniversary. On "Winterfest 2009" the band will present a shorter set than usual, but this will be the first opportunity to see VADER in Europe in their new line up, featuring Peter (guitars, vocals) and Vogg (guitars) known z DECAPITATED, Reyash (bass) from SUPREME LORD & INCANTATION, Paul (drums). "This line up is like a dream indeed !!! I still hear the first DEICIDE album in my mind and remember how much important was for me, VADER and the Extreme Metal in Poland. The very first tour in USA we've spent with DEICIDE on Their Legion Tour in 93. SAMAEL!!! I still remember times, we were playing together in S'thrash'ydlo Fest in Poland in 90... They were about to start Their finest career. So many great memories ...and now we can bring Extreme Flame of Metal across Europe TOGETHER !!! This is gonna be absolutely one of the best meetings in the upcoming 2009!!!!! A MUST for ANYONE who belongs to Extreme Metal Freaks worldwide!!!!" /(Peter).
The package features also DEVIAN (new band of ex-MARDUK members: vocalist Legion and drummer Emil) promoting their brand new album "God To The Illfated" (Century Media), ORDER OF ENNEAD (featuring Steve Asheim on drums) and Australian sensation THE AMENTA!

 Hi all VADERMANIAX !!!!!
Long time since I had a chance to talk to You..... You know but the
reasons. You know how much has changed in the band, so I'm sure, You
understand the situation... What I can promise You all is, that since the
big change on www.vader.pl - which is soon gonna
happen- I will regular drop some news from VADER Commando. We're gonna
also add way more short video rapports or clips - which are so much
popular format today. You should be enough satisfied.
What's new in VADER? You know for sure about all the personal changes in
line up. We just finished two-weeks tour in Baltic States and
Scandinavia with GRAVE, ZONARIA and ZEBADIAH CROWE, which was "baptism
in fire" for new VADER, which is now: Wacek "Vogg"-guitar; Reyash -b.g ;
Paul-drums and me (voc.&guitar). Since the first shows in Lithuania and
Latvia the new members show, how passion and feeling are important to
perform Metal on stage! Personally it was like pumping fresh blood into
my veins ... I was feeling like we were on VADER's first tour. With the
same line up we'll hit again in January with DEICIDE, SAMAEL and DEVIAN.
To play with the Friends form yet early 90's must be something unholy
!!!! IT WILL BE SPECIALL!!!!
We open new chapter in VADER's history in December: "Necropolis" !!! In
Hertz Studios we're gonna record 4-5 song demo for the upcoming new full
length. This is nothing but checking out new sounds and different way of
work in studio. It's not gonna be official, thou' we'll put a song on
our site for You to listen to. The ultimate recordings are booked for
March 2009 and "Necropolis" will be produced by Tue Madsen (who previously worked with such bands as MOONSPELL, HATESPHERE, THE HAUNTED, GOREFEST, HEAVEN SHALL BURN and many more) in Anfarm Studio in
Denmark. The title of the album-which is the very first VADER's song
ever - is chosen not by chance. It will be connected with recordings
like "De Profundis" or "Litany" with themes of Forgotten Worlds, Mythos
or Ancient Powers still living in humans sub consciousness. Just
mentioned few titles: "Devour", "Dark Heart" or "Forgotten" (all written
by Harry Maat). Pawel Frelik -the Voice of Truth in the band -is also
gonna put some lines on the album... We'd like to change "Necropolis"
designs as well making the "overall view" in old style of Metal. Of
course-I'll keep informing You about the progress. As I promised....
We took some photos during practicing with new line up just before our
last tour. You may take a look on them in the gallery.
Remember: what won't kill You-will make You stronger... VADER will strike
again soon!!! All are welcomed!!! We'd like to THANK to all those
supporting VADER regardless of any trends today!!! There's no VADER
without YOU....
....so STAY VADERIZED!!!!! \m/
Peter (guitar, vocals)

First rehearsal pictures of new line-up!
Right before the Scandinavian tour VADER took part in a photo session at Warsaw's Progresja Club. All the pictures were taken by Agnieszka Krysiuk (who has been co-operating with the band for some time). The first part of the session was intended to show the band in a rehearshal room mainly, but also to present you faces of Paul, Vogg and Reyash (see the pictures below). The second part was focused on the whole line up pictures (soon to be presented on www.vader.pl). "It wasn't a professional photo session. We just asked Agnieszka if she could take some nice pictures in our rehearsal room and she agreed. The pictures she did remind me of old, good time. Their feeling is very close to our old pictures. Frankly speaking, I haven't felt so relaxed when taking pictures for a long time. This new line up (that I believe is very, very strong) might have been partially responsible for it. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both Agnieszka (for taking some time and energy for shooting) and Progresja crew (for their great hospitality). How about the Northern tour? We have already conquered some new places. New band's members- great respect for their dedication! The crew- pure professionalism. Fans- devoted and wild. Six shows left to finish the tour... "/ Peter (guitars/ vocals)
VADER's tour through Scandinavia is going very well. Since our previous report they have played 7 more shows. Three battles took place in Finland (Turku, Helsinki, Tampere), two in Sweden (Umea, Vasteras) and one gig in Norway (Oslo). During the show in Vasteras Ola from GRAVE appeared on stage to scream in "Carnal". Meeting many friends, crazy afterparties in almost every place. Our tour-manager Darek checks in from the road, right after Umea show: "How many times have I seen VADER on live? 200? 300? And today, today I felt like a teenager again, watching long awaited show of my favorite band. I had shivers during their gig, really! I felt like screaming, moshing and headbanging, dying at the altar of death metal Gods. Unfortunately, I couldn't leave my merchandiser's position. I'm pretty sure this war-machine is going stronger and stronger, no slaves- death is your only salvation. VADER is back! This band has never been so strong! NEVER!!!" . This guy has been known for his good taste in music, there's actually no reason not to believe him haha.
See the pictures from the rehearshal below:

 Veni, vidi, vici!
VADER's North European tour is going better and better. We all have been really curious about band's first gigs in the new line up. Fortunately, everything has been going great so far! Peter (vocal, guitar) checks in from the road: "Veni, vidi, vici! VADER is alive and killzzz! After our yesterday show in Turku I'm pretty sure our war machinery works just as perfect as in the past. I would say that every single show we play in this new line up confirms in me a conviction that VADER didn't lose the power. Both Vogg and Paul are doing simply a great job, it seems like they have been playing with VADER for years! The old songs sound even better and stronger, performed with deadly precision every night. HELLO to all our friends, see you soon!" Peter (VADER)
So far VADER and their guests on this tour- GRAVE and ZONARIA played 5 shows. The first battle took place in Vilnius and gathered over 600 maniacs! Next gigs went also very good, Riga and Tallin - conquered! First bridgeheads in Finland- Turku and Helsinki - captured! More news will follow soon. Check out fan-filmed footage from shows in Riga and Vilnius.

 New touring line up!
Good news from VADER's camp! We would like to confirm officially band's line up for the upcoming tours in October and January. It features Peter (guitar,
vocal),Reyash (bass), Vogg (guitar) and Paul (drums). "Last Sunday at Progresja Club, Warsaw we had drummers audition. Earlier, actually just after the
anniversary gig we had some talks with a few guitarists about possibilities of joining the band. And now we are ready to announce our new touring line up. The new
drummer is 22- year old Paweł Jaroszewicz from Lublin, who previously played in not so well know act SOUL
SNATCHER, he also did some session drumming for HELL-BORN and CRIONICS (watch him playing with SOUL SNATCHER here). We must admit the level for this audition was much higher than a few years ago,
when we were looking for Doc's successor. We received many submissions from all over the world, however we decided to focus on Polish drummers (due to lack
of time, we have to prepare at least one -hour set for the upcoming shows, so we need a very good communication). Finally, we chose 3 drummers and checked their
skills in such songs as "Dark Age", "Silent Empire", "Carnal" or "Sothis". Paweł "Paul" Jaroszewicz won the competition and he will appear with the band on the upcoming tours.
Guitar player, the one who will replace Mauser is Wacław Kiełtyka, known more as Vogg from DECAPITATED! You know this guy and what he
achieved with his band very well. Having him in VADER it's definitely a good thing. Try to imagine VADER on live with Vogg on second guitar, it's definitely
going to be an unstoppable war-machine! Both Paul and Vogg will play with VADER as session musicians. We still haven't decided who would join VADER as permament
members. There are a variety of options available, both on drummer and guitarist vacancy. There's no hurry, we want to prepare everything very
carefully. Time shall tell..." .
October tour will run through Scandinavia. VADER will appear on it together with GRAVE, ZONARIA and GILLA BRUJA. It starts on 17.10 in Vilnius and runs to
1.11 (Aarhus). January tour starts on 9.01 and runs to 22.01, during this trip (named as "Winterfest 2009") VADER will be sharing the stage with DEICIDE,
SAMAEL, ZONARIA, DEVIAN and ARTISIAN. In the meantime the band is also going to prepare stuff for the next studio album. The pre-production session is
scheduled for December at Polish Hertz Studio. The recording session is planned for February/ March, mixes and mastering should take place in April/ May.
"We are going to entrust the production of this album to an extremely experienced and well known producer. We need a guy who would be able to give VADER
a new splendor. After 25 years the machine should be well lubricated and polished hehe... Of course, good producers cost a lot of money and VADER is still an underground
act, but we have some ideas... We're also looking for some new graphic designers, photographers and so on. The new album will be entitled "Necropolis". Hoping to get better support from our record label than we've received
so far. More news will follow soon. Stay VADERized !!!!" (Massive
Music Management)

VADER would like to thank you all for 25 years of support!
 We would like to thank to all the participants of our anniversary gig: bands, fans and staff. Thanx to you all we were able to celebrate the 25 anniversary of VADER in so special way. Big thanx to fans for such a numerous presence, bands for fantastic shows they all played in Warsaw, guests for their appearance on this show and our crew for nearly 24 hours of hard work! It was a very important show for us, the more so because it took place in such a difficult circumstances. We were forced to give up an idea of recording DVD due to some technical issues. For technical reasons we were also unable to build a special stage scenery prepared exclusively for this show. Sorry for very long queues for food and drink and the high price of our energy drink - these things were beyond our control. The show ended up turning out well and despite these shortcomings we believe it was a success. Once again- thank you all! All the blood, sweat and tears poured into VADER have been worth it!
At this point we would like to refer to the changes that have occurred in VADER. As you all probably already know, Mauser and Daray are no longer in the band and this anniversary gig was their last show with VADER. We would say that mentally, they both were out of the band from a long time. They played with us more like a session guys, without any real commitment and dedication. We were thinking about making some changes since a year or something, now we are glad to have this opportunity to build a new band. At the moment we are looking for some new musicians. Probably next week we are going to present you our new line up. In October the band will appear on tour in Scandinavia with GRAVE and ZONARIA. In January 2009 VADER will hit the road again, sharing the stage with DEICIDE and SAMAEL. Just before this tour, in December we are going to start a pre-production process of our new full length album "Necropolis". The recording session is scheduled for March. The album will be mixed by one of the best producers in a music industry! In May 2009 the band will release a new EP. The new album will be out in September. In meantime we are going to appear on many summer festivals. Don't be affraid, VADER don't lose the power and quality. On the contrary we feel it will be much stronger than ever before. Stay VADER'ized, be prepared for a new line up and the upcoming killing album "Necropolis"!

Footage from Woodstock available!
Under this link you can find footage from VADER's appearance on this year's Woodstock Festival in Poland. It was definitely an unforgettable experience when after finished show (first that VADER played with new session bassis Reyash) 250 000 people leaded by Jurek Owsiak (festival's organizer) just forced Peter & Co. to appear on stage again and play a bis. Unfortunately, Mauser disappeared somewhere behind the stage so the band played "Carnal" without the second guitar. Check out this remarkable moment on Youtube.

 VADER's anniversary show: sold out!
VADER's anniversary show in Warsaw is officially sold out! It means there's no chance to buy tickets for this special event. When we started to plan this show at the beginning of the year, we didn't expect such overwhelming interest! Now (actually, a month before the show) we would like to announce it's sold out! Despite the fact we could move the show to a bigger venue, sell more tickets (and earn more money), we don't want to do it. Why? Because this show is being organized exclusively for diehard fans. We look forward to celebrate this anniversary in a best possible way- playing great shows together with invited guests. Don't worry, VADER is ready to play around 2-hours gig (with bassist Reyash from SUPREME LORD who debuted at the Woodstock festival in front of 250,000 fans!) (Massive Music). More details will follow soon.

 Line up change in VADER!
After 5 years of working with VADER, our bassist Novy (true name Marcin Nowak) decided to part ways with the band! He made his decision right after recently finished European tournee. We would like to thank him for all those years of successful cooperation and just a great work he did for the band within the time. The band's members wish him all the best for the future!... Unfortunately, Marcin's decision of leaving the band was made not only after the finished tour in Europe, but also just before the upcoming (and very important) US tour Summer Slaughter Tour 2008 (when we appear alongside Black Dalhia Murder, Kataklysm, Cryptopsy and other bands).This is a very hard situation for the band but don't worry- we have already found a replacement - the session bassist for this tour will be Martin (ex- DECAPITATED). We are convinced that together with him VADER will be a killer! The session bass player for the shows planned for the rest of 2008 will be announced after the US tour. On August 3 VADER will appear on Polish Woodstock Festival. On August 30 the band will play a special anniversary show in Warsaw.

 New tour report available!
VADER's mainman Peter (vocals, guitars) commented in a brief report next part of the "The Anniversary Tour": The next two weeks of the tour we have spent In South of Europe: Spain, Portugal, France and Italy. For a first time we played so many shows on Iberian Peninsula in only one week. On 9 concerts there were watching us almost 2.000 Fans . We were lucky with the weather as well, so the Sun didn't burnt our skins like it happens in this part of continent. We started in the Land of Basque in city of Durango. Thou' it was probably the smallest concert on tour , the Maniaks welcomed us great - as always in this area. In Valencia we had nice surprise after dinner. A specially made Anniversary cake, so we could eat us ourselves... from candy picture. Daray swallowed Mauser. There was awesome in Portugal as well, where Vader's sound guy Fabricio (born in Brazil) felt like home for a little while. Thereafter we drove to Italy through France and little but totally packed La Corigan club. In Italy we played 3 shows for about 800 Fans. We met also our Friends from Hate Eternal and Cephalic Carnage in Pinarella. Debbie -like always -was carrying about us, so there were no problems. The next two days off we spent in beautiful San Marino. We even organized a trip to the castle, thou' it was raining all the time. And we made a lot of nice pictures... Now we're back to Middle Europe and Balkans. Till next rapport in next two weeks... Metal Forever!!!!

 Peter checks in from the road...
VADER's mainman Peter commented in a brief report the first leg of the "XXV-Anniversary Tour": The first two weeks of the tour is just behind us... We have played already several concerts in France, Germany, Benelux and England. To tour in own nightliner with the best roadies in the world- veterans of Vader's invasions- can be only a pleasure. It guaranties calm, so necessary in long and so important tours... Finally we can realize in bets style all what was prepared by our management in last months. Almost all venues, where we play are good places, so the bands and - first of all - our Fans should enjoy it. There is first day off today (there will be 3 more yet on tour) , so I found a while to drop some lines and resume the first two weeks of the tour. We spent also great time on the boat on the trip to Forts Enet and Boyard on Atlantic Ocean (and cool time on grill organized by our drivers Kristoph and Zbiggy). There are our old Friends from Inactive Messiah among us but also "new faces"... if I can describe so the great bands like Devian or Septic Flesh. We know Legion since we were touring together with Marduk , and Seth... did great work with making artworks for Vader before ( like for "Impressions In Blood"). So the atmosphere in the
> bus is more then great and shows are really killer! Being a headliner we prepared special set for the tour pretty much dominated by first releases. There is also - of course- something for those, who like Vader's last records. All in all everybody should be satisfied enough. So far so good and we have aprox. 320 Fans every night and all the Maniax have fun till the last song of Vader. It's good to see in first row the "old veterans" and also young blood of Metal Brothers! Now we're heading to Spain and Portugal to play 9 shows over there. Since years we didn't have such an opportunity... Then through Marsellie we'll drive to Italy. The next day off in two weeks, so expect my next report from XXV-jubilee tour 2008. Till then!!!

 The 2nd and 3rd week of the tour- report!
This is the second report from "XXV-Anniversary Tour" featuring VADER, SEPTICFLESH, DEVIAN and INACTIVE MESSIAH. So far the tour has been going just brilliant! The second week of the trip was very good and most of the venues were overpacked by crazy metalheads, supporting all the bands appearing on the tour in best possible way. Over 500 maniacs in London (29.04) and 280 headbangers in Jumet, Belgium. In Paris over 500 fans again, sold out (!) show in Annecy (483 + guests). Also the other French shows (Notre-Dame-De-Gravenchore and Niort) turned out incredibly well... The third week of the tour we spent mostly in Spain and Portugal. Pure madness on both shows in Portugal and amazing Sevilla (350). In Durango, Santander and Almeria we also played pretty cool gigs. The tour is going on and the bands seem to be in a better shape from day to day. During those recent 12 shows we gathered over 5000 fans!!!

 The Anniversary Tour - so far so good...
On 21st of April in Berlin war machine VADER kicked off the anniversary tour in Europe. The first week of the tour was nothing but great! All the shows we played so far were just fantastic, many metalheads came to see VADER and special guest acts of the tour- SEPTIC FLESH, DEVIAN, INACTIVE MESSIAH. "XXV-Anniversary Tour 2008" is a great opportunity to see the leading European death metal act (and one of the best groups of death metal genre in the world) in its top condition. After 25 years they are more dangerous than ever, playing killer sets every single night. Best show so far was definitely in Antwerpen where 650 maniacs unleashed pure hell! Fantastic turnout (for so extreme genre of music) in Hannover (300), Haarlem (290), Leuuwarden (300)... Nice galleries of pics from gigs in Hannover and Haarlem are available online.

 South America conquered!
VADER has recently finished a very successful South American tournee, sharing the stage with MARDUK. Packed venues, total war on stage, serious problems in Columbia, 16 flights in 9 days and shooting a videoclip! That was definitely a very intense tournee. Here's a short tour report written by VADER's mainman Peter (guitars, vocals):
19.03.08
As always-before the flight to South America we were practicing the whole day in Warsaw. We prepared the set list and the next day morning we all were ready at 7 PM...this time with no "surprises" from Air Line Company. We had an Air France flight to Sao Paulo connected through Paris. We arrived at 6:30 AM. The same day we supposed to start the tour with a show in Campinas - about an hour drive from Sao Paulo, so we went to hotel pretty quick to have a shower, dinner and relax a bit after the trip. We found out also, why MARDUK didn't joined us in Paris-like by plan. They missed the flight from Sweden....
20.03.08
So we played the first concert in Brazil with local act only. Early afternoon we were ready for a soundcheck and soon after that for a show. Fabricio- a Friend already known from tours with KRISIUN- was VADERs sound guy for the whole tour in South America. The very first show -one of those smallest (there were about 450 MAniax in the venue)- went pretty smooth then and many die hard Fans promised to show up next day again.
21.03.08
We have played few times before in Sao Paulo, so we expected a real massacre! So it was....MARDUK joined us in the meantime but...with no equipment at all. All gear and baggage flown somewhere else-which happens too often lately... To save a day the guys decided to use our gear. We played first then Wikings entered the stage...There's not easy play on someodys equipment so big respect for Swedes for They made it indeed. After the show we went to hotel pretty fast to fly next morning to Bello Horizonte- the city of SEPULTURA.
22.03.08
That evening we were a headliner, so MARDUK did a sound check (on Their original gear already)and we came back to hotel to wait until the concert. We had over 850 total Freaks that night and They all show, what does Metal mean!!!
23.03 & 24.03.08
The next two shows in Curitiba and Porto Alegre finished the Brasilian part of the tournee, where we played for 2800 Fans total !!! The next step is Chile...
25.03. & 26.03.08
We arrived to Santiago a day before so there was much time to get some rest. We started work but pretty early next day about 10 AM. We planed to take some shots for the new upcoming video clip recorded in cooperation with a Chilean team here in Santiago. The idea came out two months ago and we all decided to take that chance... Carlos and His team of Metal Music Fans , also so much exotic place helped to take that decision...And we choose "Carnal" for that. 90% of the clip is computer generated picture but there're also some live shots with us... We spent few hours in awesome Necro Club with taking pictures. How is that gonna look like? Hope, we'll see the effects soon...After the meeting with Carlos team we drove for a fast dinner, then for a fast signing session and finally to the venue. Santiago Maniax remembered VADER from our last tour so the show was crazy as Hell and I had a chance to use the skeleton mike stand , that I was using on the "Carnal" video. It was one of biggest show on this tour and we played in front of 1.000 Metal Freaks!!!
27.03.08
Next day-next country. Equador and Quinto city... I never expected so great and wild show for so many Fans in this country!!! There was about 1.000 people again and couple of hundred outside guarded by armoured police ( like in Poland in early '80...). After a short but intense party with MARDUK we were back to hotel.
28.03.08
A short meeting in the lobby at the morning and we started to Colombia.....It was but not as easy for us this time. Local promoter in Colombia forgot (!!!), that Poles need visas to enter Colombia so...we were send back to Equador just after our arrival to the airport in Cali . My desperate calls to Polish Embassy in Bogota did not helped at all. Dudes from MARDUK stayed to take our baggage and we...flew back to Quinto. Fabricio came with us, so we had any chance to communicate with anybody on our way (good to know that in South America nobody speaks English even on international airport...). We were so close to be imprisoned in Equador... All that shit because of ignorance of one local man. So instead of two shows in Colombia we spent two days in Quinto being doing nothing. Crap!
30.03.08
For the last show in Wenezuela we flew from Equador at 4 AM (we had on this tour 16 flights total !!!...). Connected through Bogota we arrived to Carasass just before noon to continue our trip with MARDUK to the city of Puerto La Cruz. It took 5 hours by van. We were late so we had to drive directly to the show...I didn't see so crazy Metal Freaks since long time!!! They almost ripped our van apart. Another one show for 1.000 Maniax !!! Great show indeed,'tho Mauser had to play almost the whole concert being sitting... because of guitar strap failure. The crew fixed it at the end of the show with a piece of tape. Unfortunately he couldn't use back up guitar,'cause we had no time to prepare it for the show (lack of time...). However-as I said- we made it and this one was one of the coolest show ever! Venezuela RULES!!! And then we just came back home...ufff
That's all. We would like to say thanx and hello to Eduardo & Tumba Productions, and promoter in Equador. We hope to come back to South America next year, play shows in Columbia and some other countries maybe?

VADER in Egypt and South America!

Local acts WORM and DARK PHILOSOPHY will appear on stage as support acts. The show will be organized by Music Gates agency. "That will be definitely an exciting outing, VADER have never played in Egypt and frankly speaking, we feel almost like pioneers trying to put up a death metal flag on a "no-man's-land". We have some doubts (concerning safety and gig's organization) but hopefully the organizers of the show will do the best to make this show an unforgettable experience both for the fans and the band. We are going to play a great concert for a great audience and be back home safe and sound." - Mariusz Kmiolek (Massive
Music). Two weeks before this show VADER will apeear on South American tournee, playing 10 shows together with MARDUK in such countries as Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela. The tour schedule is available here.

 SAMAEL confirmed for VADER's anniversary gig!
This is another surprising news! SAMAEL have confirmed their appearance on VADER's anniversary gig in Warsaw (August 30, Stodola Club). This is definitely one of those bands that in the 90's together with VADER were fighting in the name of European metal music scene! It was a pretty long negotiation process but finally we succeeded in inviting SAMAEL to Poland in August! It was my big dream, to see them in Warsaw. Their history many times intersected with VADER's history... I will never forget their fantastic appearance on S'thrash'ydło festival, many years ago. It was a big thing at that time! I also remember very well our crazy trip to Russia... No Internet, only letters, flyers, demo tapes exchanged by mail... what a time! Besides, I have always been a great fan of this band! (Mariusz Kmiołek - Massive Music). SAMAEL still belong to the metal elite. Their recent studio album "Solar Soul" released in 2007 via Nuclear Blast turned out to be a great success of the band. Perfect at a studio, perfect on live, those great musicians guarantee another great show on VADER's anniversary!

Interview with Peter!
VADER's mainman Peter (vocal, guitars) answered some questions concerning very successful 2007 and band's special plans for 2008.
 -For VADER year 2007 abounded in many interesting events. Tours, festivals, "The Witcher"... any comments?
Sure. You're right, 2007 was a pretty busy year for VADER...as usual. The whole time we spent being mostly promoting our fresh album "Impressions in Blood". Taking part on big and important Festivals in Summer was also vital for the band. We could show our potential to many thousands of Fans being sharing the stage with big names. Besides we did successful Tours In Japan ,Scandinavia Or Russia. In the last months of 2007 we play also 2nd part of Blitzkrieg 4 in Poland and awesome "Death by Decibels" Tour in USA. Important events was for VADER recording of "Sword of the Witcher" (which was a special song composed for PC RPG game "The Witcher"- that already gained big success in the world) and DVD "...And Blood Was Shed in Warsaw.."(recording of the live performance in Capitol of Poland). In 2007 we also started recording of "XXV"-VADERs 25-aniversary album.
-You are at the end of the recording process of band's anniversary album. Could you give us some more details?
We were recording the album in a few parts- using free time in between the tours. One more time the producers were Wieslawski Bros. at Hertz Studios. "XXV" is a double album including 25 VADERs hits from early days recorded from the scratch. 90% of the whole material are songs from first three albums and mini CD's realized in between also never released songs from very beginning of the band. We plan to prepare a special edition of "XXV" with additional three bonus songs (yes!!!...it gives 28 pieces total!!!) and DVD including never released Live clips copied from rare and old VHS tapes. There will be guest appearing as well....Now we are about to finalize mastering and graphics so the album should be out in May 2008.
-New year, new challenges. First and foremost- band's 25th anniversary!!!! You will appear on anniversary tours in Europe/ USA. There will be also a special, extraordinary gig in Poland...
Yeah, 2008 is a very special date for the band- because it means that VADER creates Metal for 25 bloody years already! In 1983 me and Zbiggy "Vika" Wroblewski decided to play extreme Metal and...we started VADER!!! So besides the anniversary album we prepare special set for the upcoming European Tour in April/ May/ June, when "XXV" will be available. In the last days of August we're gonna play an extraordinary show in Poland (Warsaw) where our Fans can take a part in two hours concert and follow the story of VADERs Music. There will be also some famous guests (and VADERs Friends since years) appearing that night. Several surprises may occur....In 2008 we also tour with Summer Slaughter Fest. In USA in June/ July and in Scandinavia in Falls. Important for VADER is also taking a part in the biggest Metal Fest in Poland (in March) called "Metalmania" , where we played back in 1986 on the First edition of that Festival...
-You are about to release your new, anniversary DVD? Why?
Yes-we will unleash this special show in Warsaw in August on the DVD. Why? First- because this is 25- aniversary show, which may happen only once and we prepare special long set for this evening.The other reason is that we want to record it in non standard way giving our Fans a chance to watch not only the set itself BUT also how the band's members prepare themselves and ...the job of the whole Team, that being usually unnoticed works pretty hard as well. A stage.. but also back stage, sound checks, guitar changes etc.
-Any plans for the next full length studio album?
Yesss! In 2008 we start recording of our very new album - named temporarily "The Book of the Dead". Like the title says ...this is gonna be very "in VADER tradition-like" record and.....but this is secret yet. The album should be in stores in May 2009 .STAY VADERIZED !!!!!!!

The loudest anniversary in the world!
 It's going to be the loudest anniversary! 25 years on death metal scene, what a great result! Only few bands were able to survive for so unimaginable period of time. Among them there's a Polish death metal band VADER! Massive Music - band's management and booking agency is going to celebrate this great anniversary with a special concert. The show will take place in Warsaw, at Stodola Club on 30th of August.
"Hopefully the venue will be completely packed this day. There are at least a few good reasons to come to this special show. You will see a bunch of famous metal guests, also bands that in the 80's together with VADER created extreme metal scene. The guest-list we've created is quite impressive. Unfortunately, some of them can't appear on the show due to their other obligations. Some of them are maybe too big to be a part of this, I would say- pretty uncommercial event. That's also why we decided to organize this anniversary at Stodola Club, it will be a show for most dedicated VADER's maniacs. Anyhow, you can expect a great package! " (Mariusz Kmiołek - Massive Music)
First bands confirmed for this show are GRAVE (Sweden), NILE (US), ROTTING CHRIST (Greece) and KRISIUN (Brazil). More special guests of VADER's anniversary gig will be announced soon. Another good reason to come to the show is of course VADER! The band will play over two-hour liveset, presenting songs from old demo tapes as well as VADER's famous hits from recent studio albums. The show will be filmed for an anniversary DVD release tentivately called "XXV" (to be released in 2009).
"This time we can promise you a very special release. We don't want to screw up things as it happened with our latest DVD. To refresh the entire concept of a metal DVD we decided to work with people who have never filmed a metal show. They have a great experience in making videoclips, TV programs, advertisements and other things. Those fresh ideas blended with our visions will guarantee something really special. The DVD will feature not only a show, but also a lot of backstage footage including many surprises." (Mariusz Kmiołek - Massive Music)
Exclusively for this day VADER will prepare not only a special live set, but also a special stage design and some other surprises. On the anniversary party you will see also some other famous guests from a music industry. The band is going to launch a special anniversary website. Be prepared for XXV anniversary of VADER!
