Editorial Reviews

There are very few bands that have managed to weave a web of mystery around them. Very few have survived and kept going strong until today. When faced with the question 'which' people tend to mention American death-mongers with the likes of MORBID ANGEL, DEICIDE or CANNIBAL CORPSE ... However, for a few years now in the same breath many have named VADER - perhaps the only band from Europe which has sustained it's status for a number of years .. In March 2005 Vader announces their new record deal with Swedish Regain Records. VADER enters Hertz Studio to record their new MCD entitled liThe Art Of War".The MCD contains four new tracks, two intros & a video for the track 'This Is The War' . On September VADER kicks off another massive invasion under the 'Blitzkrieg 3' code name. The tour schedule contains about 50 dates in Europe and 30 dates in the US and Canada .THE ART OF WAR.2006

That I was asking for! By far one of Vader's best releases. Whenever i listen to this EP, my speakers need to turned up all the way. Every song is perfect. Great blast beats, solos and the vocals are just killer. Vader is still at the top of their game and this EP definitely showcases that. Overall an excellent death metal release.

Vader's 2005 release, "The Art Of War," is only six songs and fourteen and a half minutes long; but it is only an EP. It's just a nice little snack to tide fans over until the band's next full length. Plus, these six songs are great! The first and fourth songs are pretty, interlude-type tracks, with wind wooshes and--what sounds like--an orchestra; but every other song is loaded with cast-iron riffs, searing solos, walloping drums, and vocals which are deep but still decipherable.

"This Is The War" boasts machine gun riffs and a rhythmic snare drum pattern. Next, "Lead Us!!!" (and the album closer, "Death In Silence") have a catchy beat with choppy, pounding riffs; and, lastly, track five, "What Colour Is Your Blood?" builds well, from a mid-tempo chug to a blinding, buzzsaw guitar attack.

For anyone who is unsure about how death metal should be played, proceed directly to "The Art Of War." It makes for a great listen, and it's also doubtlessly the best EP to be released in all of 2005.
