VADER

Polish death metallers VADER have commenced work on the material for their sixth full-length album, tentatively titled “Spiritual Disease”, for a May/June release through Metal Blade Records. Among the tracks set to appear on the CD are “Out Of A Deep” and “Lead Us!”

The follow-up to 2002's “Revelations” will be recorded in February 2004 at PR Studio in Gdańsk with producer Piotr Lukaszewski and will mark the group's final release for Metal Blade under the terms of their present contract with the label.

In other news, PANZER X, the solo project of VADER vocalist/guitarist Peter, are in the middle of recording their promotional CD at Studio X in Olsztyn, Poland. Titled “Steel First”, the CD will feature “four pieces plus two cover songs and something extra,” according to a posting on VADER's web site. “Steel First” is being engineered by Szymon Czech and produced by Peter himself. Wojtek Blasiak, the artist who recently did some graphics work for MOONSPELL, will take care of the “Steel Fist” artwork and layout.
