Polish death metallers VADER are hard at work on the next full length album, Necropolis, at Hertz Studio.

Mainman Peter (vocals, guitars) checks in with the following:

"Hi Everybody!!!! Greetings from Hertz Studios!!!!

We just finished the first week of recordings! 11 drum tracks chosen for the upcoming album Necropolis are done. 9 of them will be available on every standard edition. Two of the songs we're gonna keep as bonuses or to play on Vader's official MySpace site... in summer time.

Wanna know any titles? Here we go: 'Anger', 'Dark Heart', 'When We Arrive', 'Devilized' or 'We Are Horde...'. There will be also new versions of 'Rise Of The Undead' and 'Impure' included.

Necropolis is kind of a mix of the atmosphere of the De Profundis album and the aggression known from Litany... We recorded tracks which are even more brutal.

Here you will find some pictures taken last week in Hertz Studios during drum session.

The new video report called Secrets Of The Force will be available soon. The progress of recordings, more pics and next part of video report will be posted at Vader's MySpace soon.

STAY VADERIZED!!!!!/ Peter."

A previous update reads: "Vadermaniacs!!! As you were promised, here is our next track recorded as pre-product In December 2008 in Hertz Studios. This time Vader is not as "typical" as on Rise Of The Undead... And now let me introduce 'Impure'."

'Impure' is available for free download here.
