Polish death metal luminaries Vader have returned to deliver their twelfth studio album, Solitude In Madness, which is set for a May 1 release.


Since forming in 1983, the band have consistently put out some of the most devastating music to grace the ears of those listening, and the new track 'Into Oblivion' seeks to continue that trend with a vicious onslaught of blast beat-fueled mayhem - check out the official video for it below:

Speaking on Solitude In Madness, the band's only founding member Piotr Wiwczarek says:

"Humanity never learns from its lessons. I feel tensions continuing to rise around the world. People have forgotten about true pain, from a bigger picture standpoint. Generationally, the new generation doesn’t respect the old, and I’d challenge they don’t even respect themselves. Our everyday lives are on TV, so there’s no soul left. Everything’s empty. I think technology is also sucking the human out of us."

"There are more lonely people now than ever before, and yet we’re supposed to be connected together by technology. It’s madness! That’s where the title, Solitude in Madness, came from, actually. Of course, I approach these topics in a very Vader way. I love telling stories and expressing myself through those stories."
