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”

At the end of April the Polish legendary death metal icons VADER entered the Hertz Studio to record their new album “The Empire”, set to be released by Nuclear Blast on September 23rd 2016 in Europe. Prior to the full-length album release, VADER will unleash a mini-album “Iron Times” consisting 4 songs. To let their fans to follow the recording progress and more, VADER recently launched a new website “Imperial News”.

Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek, on his latest studio-update pays his tribute to Lemmy and MOTÖRHEAD:

Tribute to the Hero…

“Lemmy left us forever at the end of 2015. Motörhead ceased to exist in the same day…. This is so sad. That was one of the first extreme Metal band, I ever listened to and “Ace of Spades” my very favorite album for years. VADER made a lot of classic covers in the past but never Motörhead. It’s about the time to do it now! I choose “Overkill”. I love this tune and it does fit perfect to the EP called “Iron Times” and its concept. Joe Petagno created the cover, of course 😉 Our “Overkill” cover sounds different. There are two guitars and bass in VADER and we were not going to copy the unique Motör-sound. However, we remind great song of even greater band of the greatest man ever: Mr. Lemmy Kilmister! My hero \m/”

Here You’ll find the original “Overkill” played live by Motörhead themselves:

Iron Empire…. (19 May 2016)

“Welcome again! This time I have few words to say about EP, which is gonna be released before the full length, yet in Summer. This mini album and preludium for “The Empire” consists 4 songs. Which songs? This I will inform You next time 😉 Famous Art Master – JOE PETAGNO, once again created amazing cover art, which is totally connected to the title and songs. Folded cover for 10″ vinyl looks killer indeed. Do You like puzzle? Here is the first piece of the whole Thing.  Till soon, my Friends \m/“

Hard times demand Hard Music…. (20 May 2016)  

“What more about “IRON TIMES” and general inspiration for the upcoming new VADER album? It is obvious, that “The Empire” is not just another Star Wars movie inspiration (tho’ it is a touch of the general subject, if I can say so ;)). It is more about kinda feeling today. The feeling, that “there is something in the air”, if You know , what I mean. The whole world gets a bit crazy and the escalation of hatred is so much visible. Similar situation is known in history of 20th century. Not so long time ago… Strain, insecurity, doubts. Civilians work on their body form, condition much more intense. More people learn , how to shoot (yet still on shooting-range). Does it herald something? Hard to say…. The other historical event is 100 years anniversary of The Great War, known as World War One. The first appearance of tanks in masses (even the name “tank” came from those times) , first armor battle was in 1916. That was Iron Time indeed.

You can see also next piece of the puzzle: the “Iron Times” EP cover created by JOE PETAGNO.”
