Vader’s Peter Wiwczarek shared:
“VADERMANIAX !!! We ended the summer concert season with three concerts in the last weekend of August. Thank you all very much for wonderful moments and total craziness and Massive Music for organization and great atmosphere on all trips in the summer season 2025. These were also the last concerts in 2025 in Poland and Europe. Upcoming plans are the Carnival of Death Tour tour in the USA/Canada in October. Because we and Massive Music are still receiving inquiries about more concerts in Poland – we will try to organize one more weekend in December this year. I hope that in 2026, we will see each other more often at the common craziness in our country. It will be the 20th anniversary of the album Impressions In Blood. We will also like to remind you of the wider Kingdom (expect a new edition of this title soon). There are also plans for something special that we haven’t done before… but let’s wait for the specifics. The new Vader album will definitely be made next year – but let’s rather expect the release at the beginning of 2027.”
Just recently Vader celebrated the 25th Anniversary of their classic Litany album, which originally came out on Metal Blade Records in 2000 with a special vinyl reissue edition. The original 11 tracks / 31 minutes of Litany were newly re-mastered for vinyl by Wojtek Wieslawski / Hertz Recording Studio and the LP also includes a 16-page booklet with new liner-notes by band leader, guitarist and vocalist Peter Wiwczarek. The Litany (25th Anniversary Reissue) LP is available via Metal Blade Records:

Vader’s Peter Wiwczarek commented in the liner notes: “Litany was definitely our fastest and most brutal album ever recorded…This year the album celebrates its quarter-century and we want to remind you of the power of these brutal riffs. The album returns to the stages in full form. Many of the songs haven’t been played since the 2000-2001 promotional tour. Some of them have never been played. I invite you to the world of Litany! Remember…you enter here at your own risk!”
On May 30th, Vader released their new EP, Humanihility via Nuclear Blast. Five years after the much-lauded 12th studio album Solitude In Madness, Vader returned with 3 brand-new tracks once again produced by Scott Atkins at Grindstone Studio, UK. Featuring excellent artwork by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Testament, Dark Funeral), this EP marks the first recording as a quintet with guitarist Mauser returning to the group and new drummer Michael alongside vocalist/guitarist Peter, bassist Hal and third guitarist Spider. Humanihility offers scorching new songs that prove to be vicious, thrash-laden anthems perfectly blending old-school thrash with Vader’s unique straight-forward fury and neckbreaking tempos. Each of the songs was created by a different band member, giving them a more personal style. The only physical edition will be a limited 12” (red vinyl, 700 copies).
