Vader  


One of the earliest death metal bands from behind the Iron Curtain, Vader was formed in 1986 and is still going strong today, making them unquestionably the most well-known Polish death metal band in existence. Their style is of the old school of brutal, heads-down death metal, with their albums being of a consistent style and quality. September 2004 sees the release of their newest album, The Beast.
