Polish Death Metal Icons VADER – who are currently touring in Asia – are set to release their new studio album “The Empire” on November 4th via Nuclear Blast. Today they have released the first in a series of track by track videos for “The Empire”, check it out below. In this episode, Peter talks about the tracks “Tempest,” “Prayer To The God Of War” and “Iron Reign”.
The album was recorded at Hertz Studios in Bialystok, Poland and produced by Wojtek and Slawek Wiesawski. The stunning cover artwork was created by Joe Petagno (Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, Sodom).
Commented Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek: “Here is the cover art for “The Empire” created by Joe Petagno himself !!! The whole design includes many details connected to the main theme influencing me before and during the process of recording: war and the “cold crisis” around us today… There are also links to couple of famous movie series, which influence the generations and erupt with violence, hate and “imperial tendencies”… Is this just a fantasy or maybe a sign of the 21st century generation ? You have to answer that in Your own… and the future will show us , how real that feeling is? Enjoy “The Empire” and …. join us on tour soon”
