Long-running Polish death metallers VADER check in with the following update:

"Vader's anniversary show in Warsaw (Stodola Club, August 30th) is officially sold out! It means there's no chance to buy tickets for this special event."

Says Massive Music, "When we started to plan this show at the beginning of the year, we didn't expect such overwhelming interest! Now (actually, a month before the show) we would like to announce it's sold out!

Despite the fact we could move the show to a bigger venue, sell more tickets (and earn more money), we don't want to do it. Why? Because this show is being organized exclusively for diehard fans.

We look forward to celebrate this anniversary in a best possible way- playing great shows together with invited guests. Don't worry, Vader is ready to play around 2-hours gig (with bassist Reyash from SUPREME LORD who debuted at the Woodstock festival before 250,000 fans!)"

More details will follow soon.

As previously reported, Vader have issued XXV on Regain Records to commemorate a quarter century of unbridled (and often unrewarded) enthusiasm for the black arts. The standard, two-disc format features 25 songs, dating back to the demo days, all specifically re-recorded in March 2008, for this collection. Each track is summarized (in English and Polish) by guitarist/vocalist Pietr, who served as executive producer. Members of KAT, SEVERE TORTURE and DEAD INFECTION guest.

XXV tracklisting:

Disc 1: 'In Vaders (intro)', 'Chaos', 'Vicious Circle', 'Crucified Ones', 'Dark Age', 'Reign-Carrion', 'Silent Empire', 'Sothis', 'Incarnation', 'Reborn In Flames', 'Blood Of Kingu', 'Carnal', 'Fractal Light', 'Red Passage' and 'Black To The Blind'.

Disc 2: 'Kingdom', 'Wings', 'Xeper', 'Cold Demon', 'Final Massacre', 'Reign Forever World', 'Epitaph' (dedicated to former drummer Krzysztof "Doc" Raczkowski), 'Dark Transmission', 'Fear of Napalm' (dedicated to Jesse Pintado; NAPALM DEATH/TERRORIZER), 'Wyroczmia' (KAT cover) and 'Tyrani Pickiel'.

A special digi-pak version is slated to include a bonus DVD, with a few songs in Polish, as well as rare, career spanning photography.
