Vader – a cult status band, one of the forerunners of death metal in Poland. Their eleventh studio album entitled “The Empire” was released in November 2016. Formed in 1983, the band was founded by then-bassist, now guitarist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek and guitarist Zbigniew "Vika" Wróblewski. Starting as a heavy metal group, Vader eventually went to thrash, speed, and then in the late 1980s became a death metal band. According to Billboard magazine, by 2002 Vader sold approximately 500,000 releases around the world. The band will perform a very special show at Metalmania Festival.
