Five years after the much-lauded 12th studio album Solitude In Madness, VADER return with three 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 written by a different band member, giving them a more personal style.
The only physical edition of the EP will be a limited 12” on red vinyl, and limited to 700 copies.
VADER will be touring the UK soon, with support from Rise Of Kronos & Skaphos.
Dates:
In 2025, Vader continue to dominate the scene with its current lineup: Peter (vocals/guitar), Mauser (guitar), Spider (guitar), Hal (bass), and Michael (drums). Their latest EP, Humanihility, will be presented live on the March of the Unbending tour and the upcoming Summer Rampage festival run, proving once again that Vader is as ferocious and unyielding as ever over 40 years into their career.
From breaking barriers as the first death metal band behind the Iron Curtain to secure an international record deal in the early ’90s to sharing the stage with legends like Slayer and Metallica in front of tens of thousands of fans years later, Vader have cemented their status as relentless road warriors. With twelve studio albums under their belt, they continue to deliver high-quality, impactful music, staying relevant to both longtime devotees and new generations. Their signature blend of thrash and death metal—executed with precision and intensity—has made them a force to be reckoned within the global metal scene.
