Polish death metal behemoths Vader have recently released a strictly limited edition of rarities after an arduous and exquisite collaboration with Witching Hour Productions. Moreover, Vader is preparing to greet Colombian audiences this upcoming Sunday in Manizales at HateWorks Extreme Music Festival, an event that will also introduce the presence of British death machine Benediction as co-headliners.
In which respects to the release entitled ‘Final Massacre’, it surges as an exclusive collection boxset emphasizing the acts demo material as well as other collector items, such a special performance live DVD recorded in Bialystok, Poland, on March 4th, 2015. It promises to enthrall Vader aficionados not undividedly to their classical material, but as well as for the old-school artwork depicted on this release which parallels to earlier 1990’s demo tape editions.
[blockquote cite=”Piotr Wiwczarek”]This DVD, included in the BOX, was recorded on special performance in Bialystok in March 4th 2015 – right before Blitz! tour in Europe. Initially it was not planned in such a format, we wanted to record just ‘Triumph of Death’ to make promo clip for the tour… but the team recorded the whole thing tho. I had serious problem with vocals that night and none of us was ready to record the whole concert… This was special evening for media and not more than for one hundred guests only. However it was very special set and we won’t make it again… So we decided to release it in spite of all those little problems. We played all demos plus a couple of bonus tracks (like ‘Triumph of Death’). So three songs from the show are not included on DVD. Video is made for special BOX (500 copies are nearly sold out) but will be available separated too.[/blockquote]
The stringently limited to five hundred copies BOX contains:
Over two hundred pages hardcover book ‘Genesis Of Chaos MCMLXXXIII – MCMXC’ with never before seen photographs, press releases and promotional material from the year 1983 to 1990.
All this was collected, written and done by Jarek Szubrycht. The book is a 28cm x 28cm album full color printed on chalk overlay paper.
The box also contains:
- Live In Decay – 12″ Gatefold LP
- Necrolust – 12″ Gatefold LP
