VADER To Release New Album – Solitude In Madness – In May

Veteran Polish death metal metallers VADER will release their 16th(!) studio album, Solitude In Madness, on May 1 via Nuclear Blast.

The band’s leader Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek comments:

“Humanity never learns from its lessons. I feel tensions continuing to rise around the world. People have forgotten about true pain, from a bigger picture standpoint. Generationally, the new generation doesn’t respect the old, and I’d challenge they don’t even respect themselves. Our everyday lives are on TV, so there’s no soul left. Everything’s empty. I think technology is also sucking the human out of us. There are more lonely people now than ever before, and yet we’re supposed to be connected together by technology. It’s madness! That’s where the title, “Solitude In Madness”, came from, actually. Of course, I approach these topics in a very VADER way. I love telling stories and expressing myself through those stories.”

For Solitude In Madness, VADER went outside its comfort zone to Grindstone Studios in Suffolk, England, where the band teamed up with one-stop shop Scott Atkins to engineer, produce, mix, and master for four weeks in summer 2019.

The album artwork was created by Wes Benscoter (AUTOPSY, CATTLE DECAPITATION).

01. Shock And Awe
