The longest living and most resilient tank of Poland’s Death Metal fleet, VADER, are set to unleash another sonic attack with The Empire, to be launched to the masses on November 4th via Nuclear Blast.
Piotr Wiwczarek states: “RISE of The Empire! The clock is ticking… We are counting the days ’til November 4th. To make you all even more hungry, we have a treat to present you ‘Angels of Steel’ – the opening track for the new VADER album »The Empire«. ENJOY! We also want to remind you of our tour, which starts in Bad Oeynhausen (Germany) on album release day.”
The stunning cover artwork of The Empire was created by acclaimed artist Joe Petagno who has also created artwork for PINK FLOYD, LED ZEPPELIN, MOTÖRHEAD, MARDUK, ILLDISPOSED and SODOM. Mastermind Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek states: “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 yourself… and the future will show us, how real that feeling is? Enjoy »The Empire« and… join us on tour soon!”
