Polish death metallers VADER see their site updated with the following:

After a short break VADER entered the studio again to continue recording session of band's new effort Necropolis. The tracklisting for the new album has been confirmed. At the moment Peter is working on guitar and vocal parts. This week Reyash will start laying down bass parts. Peter also announces a special guest appearance in a few solo parts on the album.

As you may know, in the meantime the band signed a worldwide deal with Nuclear Blast. What great news to keep the band even more motivated!

Here is a brief report from the studio, new photos can be found in the gallery. The second part of the video report should be available this week.

Vader guitarist/vocalist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek states:

"The next step in creating of new album is behind us... Necropolis has it's shape now. Today we finish recordings of main guitars and after a week break we're coming back to the studio to make all leads, bass and vocal parts.

The whole program of the album looks like this: 'Devilized', 'Rise Of The Undead', 'Never Say My Name', 'Dark Heart', 'Blast', 'Impure', 'We Are Horde', 'Anger' , 'When The Sun Drowns In Dark', 'The Sigil', 'Dei Nostri' and 'Summoning The Futura'. We also (recorded) two cover songs. More about it is coming soon.

"Gates To Necropolis" Part Two is gonna be available in a week as well. This time we will show you life in a studio, process of creation and recordings of main guitars on the new album."

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.
