Metal Assault’s Aniruddh "Andrew" Bansal recently interviewed drummer Paul Jaroszewicz of VADER backstage at the House Of Blues in Hollywood about the reason for the short set in Hollywood on the band's last tour, playing new songs in the set, and his first ever recording experience with Vader and upcoming tours among other things. Excerpts from the interview are below:

Metal Assault: Last November you were here headlining in the States and this time you are supporting. How is it different?

Jaroszewicz: “The obvious difference is the time that we play. This time we have a shorter set, but still it's a chance for wider exposure because other people come in for Overkill. Hopefully it's a chance to grab some new fans and just remind people of ourselves. It's good to be in the States again.”

Metal Assault: Are you playing any new songs in this tour's set list?

Jaroszewicz: “Yeah we have four songs off of Necropolis which is pretty much half of the set. Next time we will try to play more of the new stuff as this time we have a shorter set. Also, some of the older songs always have to be in the set, like Sothis and those kinds of songs.”

Metal Assault: The Vader fans say that you have the hard task of filling the shoes of Doc and Daray, the previous drummers. Do you think you've been able to live up to it till now?

Jaroszewicz: “It's hard for me to judge but I'm trying to do my best. It's up to people to judge. If they like it, I'm happy. If not, you know it means I still need to work on the stuff.”
