Editor's note

Vader's death metal stays heavy and direct.

A Polish band that's kept its sound brutal and consistent since the '80s.

If you want to hear what Vader does, put on 'Fear Of Napalm' or 'An Act Of Darkness'. That's the sound they've been refining for decades.

Vader matters because they've been a steady, unflinching force in death metal for over thirty years. Their 1990 album 'Triumph of Death' gave us tracks like 'Fear Of Napalm', and songs like 'An Act Of Darkness' and 'Abandon All Hope' have kept that same aggressive energy alive. They never softened or chased trends, just delivered the riffs and gutturals their fans expect.

They formed in Poland in 1983 with Piotr 'Peter' Wiwczarek at the helm, and he's been the constant through all the lineup changes. From 'Triumph of Death' onward, they've put out about fourteen studio albums of heavy, straightforward death metal, with songs like 'Rapid Fire' and 'Chaos' sticking to that template.
