Polish death metal pioneers VADER have wrapped up a monumental 2024 and teased an explosive 2025. In a detailed Facebook post, the band reflected on the past year and revealed their plans for the year ahead, including new releases, reissues, and a special anniversary tour.
2024: A Year of Relentless Activity

2024 marked another busy year for Vader as they celebrated their 40th anniversary with tours across the USA, Canada, and Europe. Highlights included:

    Performances at summer festivals, including a triumphant return to Jarocin after three decades.
    A studio session at Grindstone Studio in August to record new material for the upcoming EP.
    Wrapping up the year with the “Freezing Hell” tour, which took the band around the Baltic Sea.
    Continued success with drummer Michał Andrzejczyk, who also joined the roster of TAMA drums endorsers.

What’s Coming in 2025?

Vader promises an even more intense 2025, packed with releases, reissues, and live performances:

    New EP “Humanihility”: Set to release in spring via Nuclear Blast, this EP will mark Vader’s first new material since Solitude In Madness (2020).
    “Black To The Blind” Reissue: The 1997 classic will be re-released with updated artwork by Jacek Wiśniewski and will also be available this spring through Nuclear Blast.
    25th Anniversary of “Litany”: To celebrate the landmark album, Vader will embark on a summer tour, performing Litany in its entirety. This includes tracks that haven’t been played live since the album’s release in 2000—and some that have never been performed.
