VADER – Poland’s Death Metal Machine Returns! 🔥💀

When relentless blast beats tear through the air and razor-sharp riffs slice like blades, when decades of experience fuse with unbroken aggression – you know what it means: VADER are returning to lay waste to Baden in Blut Open Air 2026! ⚡

Founded in 1983, the Polish death metal veterans stand as one of the unshakable pillars of the genre. With classics like Litany (2000), Revelations (2002), and Tibi et Igni (2014), VADER have shaped European death metal with precision, relentlessness, and their unmistakably punishing, tightly executed energy. 🔥

Led by Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek, VADER unleash a live onslaught of technical mastery and crushing force. Every song is a punch to the gut, every riff a projectile aimed straight at your skull. No compromises. No mercy. Just death metal in its purest form.

Since 2024, founding guitarist Mauser has also returned to the ranks – which means one thing: Triple Guitar Power and a live wall of sound designed to annihilate everything in its path. ⚔️
