There is some contention as to the beginnings of VADER, but the truth is that they began in the autumn of 1983 by Piotr 'Peter' Wiwczarek (BARDAST and later BEHEMOTH back then) playing the bass and the guitarist Zbyszek 'Vika' Wroblewski. Extreme metal was about to be born in Poland and VADER were among the pioneers of that genre in the newly emerging underground ' and the only band from that era still reigning! The first crucial point in the band's history was their participation in the first Polish heavy metal festival ' Metalmania in 1986, where they played to an audience of around 5000 persons.
IMMOLATION will be touring in honour of their hugely successful new record, "Atonement", which was released only a handful of days ago.
"A masterclass from Yonkers standard-bearers! "Atonement" is yet another concussion-inducing triumph in a career littered with them. IMMOLATION sound absolutely colossal throughout their 10th album: as epic, grandiose and otherworldly as anything the genre has produced."
Metal Hammer
"One of the greatest albums of their career. Essential listening."
Terrorizer
"Arguably the greatest death metal band of all time"
