For most bands who have been around for a few years, there comes a point where the quality of their output starts to dip a little. After 16 albums and over 30 years, Vader are yet to reach that point. A true contender for metal's most consistent band, the Polish death metal stalwarts released their debut album on Earache Records in 1992, combining high-speed thrash metal with the brutality of death metal in a way few others come close to. An essential purchase for diehard fans and aspiring death metal historians alike.
