Polish death metal veterans VADER have been working at Hertz Studio in Bialystok, Poland, recording their forthcoming new album, Welcome To The Morbid Reich.

Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek has issued the following update: "Below you can find the fourth part of Vader's studio report. Main theme is recording the parts of bass for our new album, Welcome To The Morbid Reich. In around one weeks' time, report #5 will be ready. Wieslawski Brothers will show you around the world of mixing and the album production. Our label, Nuclear Blast, will get the material at the end of May. Since then we will start a countdown to the album's first release date... Also, in May we will try to put on our site a pre-release demo version of one of the songs (available only on Vader and Nuclear Blast websites). During this time we will try to make you more familiar with the process of the album creation - through a series of short interviews with people involved in the album's production!"

Check out the Vader studio reports 1 - 4 below:

Tentative track titles for Welcome To The Morbid Reich include: 'Lords Of Thorns', 'I Am Who Feast Upon Your Souls', 'Only Hell Knows', 'Return To The Morbid Reich', 'I Had A Dream'.

As previously reported, due to family matters, Vader drummer Pawel has decided to leave the band. He is, however, recording the new album with the band and will support Vader on their upcoming gigs, festivals and tours in May, June and July. His natural successor is the very talented 21-year-old English musician James Stewart, playing in DIVINE CHAOS.
