Poland's VADER have issued the following update:

"Vader are currently finishing works on their 25th anniversary album.

Peter (guitars, vocals) did some last corrections here and there and now Wies?awscy brothers (Hertz Studio) are hard at work to transform it into whole thing.

We have been waiting quite a long for some intros and other tracks made by Siegmar (VESANIA) but they are ready finally! Only mastering and layout design left to finish the product. The album will be released in the end of May via Regain Records.

Band leader Peter has revealed some more details concerning the upcoming release:

"Welcome All Vader-Maniax!!!!!!!!! I may inform you officially about the title of anniversary Vader album, which is: XXV... like 25 years of Extreme Metal!!!!

I can also show to you the cover of the album (pictured) made by Jacek Wisniewski. The overall style is old Vader, like as well. That's because, what's included... What can I discover at the moment? Total time of the album (or better, double album) in regular version is 96 minutes of total massacre!!!! There will be also Special Edition with additional 16 minutes, which makes the total time 112 minutes (!!!)

The other bonus is DVD (yes!!!! The third record!!) with several never released before old live shots recorded from VHS tapes!!! I wish to inform you today, just to prepare you for what's coming, which songs from Vader's first album, The Ultimate Incantation, were chosen: 'Chaos', 'Vicious Circle', 'Crucified Ones', 'Dark Age' and 'Reign-Carrion'. More details soon...

BTW!!! Don't forget about our upcoming tours: in South America, which are gonna be the last part of the Impressions In Blood World Tour. In April in Europe we start a special tour, where you can hear mostly old hits from the beginning of Vader's career."
