Polish death metal legends VADER, during these past weeks, have already announced some of their upcoming tours for 2017. Now Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek has issued, via their VaderNews-website, the following message, revealing more plans for this year:
“Vadermaniax!!! There is new year 2017 …and we have so many new plans for this year! We’re gonna start new season with brutal tour with our Friends from IMMOLATION organized again by Massive Music in April. This is 2nd part of The Empire Europe tour, where we focus on VADERs last album “The Empire”, released by Nuclear Blast in November. However, we modified set list, so anyone may expect surprises. Just after that – in May, we will hit Scandinavia and Baltic Countries with very special guests. More details next week. In last days of May VADER fly to USA to take part on famous Maryland Death Fest !!! And we’ll prepare very special set for that evening. Festival will be also the beginning of the whole tour in USA. YES !!! VADER comes back to USA and – for the first time – to Puerto Rico! This is just the beginning… We plan so many more in 2017 \m/ Are You ready?!”

VADER, released their crushing new album “The Empire” on November 4th 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.
