Contents: Introducing the 12th album from veteran Polish death metal band, Vader. Embodying their policy of "Long songs are boring!", this album, consisting of 11 tracks and totaling just 29 minutes, features even more powerful drumming and is a truly stormy, extreme album! Vader has a long history. Formed in 1983, the same year Metallica and Slayer debuted, Vader was born in the communist country of Poland. Their name became world-class with the 1990 demo, 'Morbid Reich'. This demo, which skillfully incorporated elements of death metal?a new trend in extreme metal at the time?made Vader known to fans worldwide. As a result, they signed with Earache Records, one of the top labels in the extreme metal scene at the time, and released their first album, 'The Ultimate Incantation', in 1992. While Poland is now known as a metal powerhouse, it's no exaggeration to say that this is largely thanks to Vader. With a career spanning nearly 40 years, they faced tragedy along the way, including the death of their drummer, a key element of their sound. However, they persevered through such adversity, continuing to tour energetically and releasing 11 studio albums to date. Even now, they remain highly popular as one of the world's top extreme metal bands. Now, Vader's 12th album is being released. The title is "Solitude in Madness," meaning "loneliness in madness." "Humans learn nothing. The younger generation doesn't respect the older generation, or even themselves. Everything is empty. Humanity is being lost more and more because of technology. Thanks to the internet, people seem to be connected, but on the contrary, the number of lonely people is increasing. What else could this be but madness!" says leader Peter. Leaving their longtime partners, the Wieslawski brothers, Vader brought in Scott Atkins, known for his work with Cradle of Filth and Amon Amarth, as producer and engineer for this album, but musically it's very much in the Vader style. It brilliantly fuses thrash elements with their characteristic brutality. True to Peter's policy that "fast songs are best at 2-3 minutes long; anything over 5 minutes is boring," the album totals just 29 minutes, a length reminiscent of "Reign in Blood," which is quite impactful. There isn't an extreme metal fan who wouldn't be excited by this album, where 11 lightning-fast 2-3 minute tracks will flies by in an instant.
