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

An update reads: "Hereby we would like to present The Gates Of Necropolis- a series of video reports that will show you Vader at the studio, working hard on the new full length album entitled Necropolis.

It's some kind of a supplement to Peter's reports, presented on our website in a written form. So far you have only had an opportunity to see a bunch of pictures from the recording session and read some Peter's comments. Today, for the first time you have a chance to watch a fresh video report from the Hertz Studio.

The first part of the report focuses on the drums recordings. Paul unveils some of his secrets from behind his impressive drum kit. The report features also some comments of Peter and Wojtek Wieslawski (engineer, producer and co-owner of Hertz Studio). Ejnoy watching it and stay tuned for the next part of The Gates Of Necropolis!"

Check out the footage, below.

A previous update from the band reads: "During the Polish leg of Blitzkrieg 5, Vader will be teaming up with BLINDEAD and ROOTWATER!

On the tour, Rootwater are going to promote their third full length album, Visionism (Paul from Vader appeared on it as a session drummer!). The album will be released in May/ June through Mystic Productions. The band will appear on the tour in the new lineup featuring Taff (vocals), Zusin (guitars, samples, vocal), Heinrich (bass, samples), Valeo (guitars) and Oley (drums).

The second guest act, Bliindead, is considered to be one of the most sensational bands on the Polish music scene in recent years. Their music has been compared to such bands as CULT OF LUNA and NEUROSIS. Some time ago they released their highly acclaimed second album, Autoscopia/Murder in Phazes. Blindead features Nick (vocals), Havoc (guitars), Deadman (guitars), Konrad (drums), Zwierzak (bass), Hervy (soundscapes & samples), K-Vass (visualisation).

The tour will also feature some local supports and special guest. More details will follow soon.
