VADER: Third Album “Black To The Blind” Celebrates Its 20th Anniversary!

Polish death metal legends VADER released their third album “Black To The Blind” on October 13th, 1997, celebrating today its 20th Anniversary!

The band’s Frontman Piotr Wiwczarek stated:
“20 years ago VADER released Their 3rd full length album: “Black To The Blind”. The album was absolutely new look on the style for the band – in composition, sound and overall character. Songs were even more aggressive but also more mature and polished. Doc reached His top level in extreme drumming and Maurycy Stefanowicz – aka. Mauser – just joined the band as guitarist.

With “Black To The Blind” VADER established Their style. The album was recorded in Olsztyn in Selani Studio and original cover art was created by Jacek Wiśniewski. In 2012 the album was released for the first time in vinyl format by NIGHT of the VINYL DEAD recs SRHC and re-released by WHR (with new beautiful cover art created by Zbyszek Bielak).

Very intense tour, that followed the release of “Black To The Blind” ended with release of the next important album: “Live in Japan”. Among songs like “Distant Dream”, “Red Passage”, “Fractal Light” or title track “Black To The Blind” it was “Carnal”, that became absolute strongest point and a must on every VADER show up to this days.”

Watch the video clip for “Carnal”, created by the Artists from Chile Abysmo Films. Music to the video is taken from the hit compilation album “XXV” released by VADER in 2008. Enjoy!

VADER, released their crushing new album “The Empire” on November 4th 2016 via Nuclear Blast, and once again proved that their merciless riffs are made to unleash hell. Without doubt, “The Empire” falls under the category of VADER’s classic albums. The impressive monument that they have built with their 13th studio album immediately found its place in metal history and proves that VADER don’t need to make their peace with the world; they never did, and they certainly don’t now with “The Empire” – especially after writing more than 30 years’ worth of Death Metal history.
