Vader is a Polish death metal band founded in 1986. They stand as one of the best-known European death metal bands. Vader plays a style of death metal different from that of their American counterparts, but their approach is nonetheless firmly based upon the template created by Death. For example, many bands of this genre tend to play guitar solos and lead parts which do not adhere strictly to traditional musical principles (such as being in key) and make extensive use of tremolo bar, creating a rather dissonant sound
. Vader, on the other hand, whilst often playing in this style, occasionally diverge and play diminished, augmented, and minor scale solos. Vader is also different in that vocalist Piotr Wiwczarek's vocals do not follow the standard sound widely considered acceptable for death metal. While his vocal delivery remains extreme, it is a much throatier approach, giving him the ability to enunciate words more clearly than most death metal vocalists.
The name of the band was inspired by Darth Vader, a Star Wars character.
BiographyFormed in 1986, Vader released the demo Morbid Reich in 1990, remarkable not only for the quality of the demo given the equipment available behind the Iron Curtain, but also that the demo sold 10,000 copies, easily the most successful death metal demo of all time. The songs from Morbid Reich would appear later on their full-length debut album in 1993 entitled The Ultimate Incantation on Earache Records. In 1998, they signed a contract to Metal Blade Records. Fans consider this event a victory of "pure" death metal over new styles that formed in the 90s, like rap metal and grunge metal. They also prize the band for not giving up their extreme style in favour of a more mainstream one that would probably sell more records.
