How is it possible that despite Vader being a frequent visitor of Norway while touring, I haven’t seen them until this day? Despite going strong and being young, the main locomotive of the Polish extreme music scene, Vader have been around for some time. I remember in early 2008, right after they recorded their 25 year anniversary album, I had a chance to talk to Wojtek & Slawek Wieslawsky from Hertz Studio in Białystok, where XXV was recorded. From a professional point of view, Wojtek & Slawek were telling about different band challenges for their portfolio, but one thing I remember really clearly was what they said about Vader: Piotr Wiwczarek has a very recognizable vocals, and this is something that is really rare in the genre. And indeed you cannot compare Vader with anything else: this mix of low clean vocals on the edge of growls is something unique. These unique vocals and playing style would make Vader comfortable in both death and thrash company. For a band going strong for so long, - Vader literally do not have a single weak record since their debut in 1992, - it was surprising to see them performing in a smaller club. What is wrong with the listeners and this market? Is it because Vader have not compromised their style or used makeup with some other cunning tricks?
