VADER's November 14 performance at The Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as part of the
"Monsters of Death Tour" will be streamed live online at
this location.
VADER's new album,
"Necropolis", sold around 1,130 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to
Nielsen SoundScan. The CD landed at position No. 19 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
"Necropolis" was recorded at
Hertz studios in Bialystok, Poland with the
Wieslawski Bros..
Tue Madsen, who previously worked with such bands as
MOONSPELL,
CATARACT,
HEAVEN SHALL BURN and many more, mixed the CD at his
Antfarm Studios in Denmark.
"Never Say My Name", the new video from
VADER, can be viewed below. Inspired by
Patrick Graham's bestselling book
"L'Évangile Selon Satan" (translation: "The Gospel According to Satan"), the clip tells an alternate story of the death of a messiah who curses humanity before his death on the cross and chooses life in Hell instead of Heaven. Perhaps because of its "controversial" title and content, this book is not available in the U.S. in English, but a French version can be ordered from Canada.
The
"Monsters of Death Tour" marks the North American debut of
VADER's current lineup:
Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek - Guitar/Vocals
Waclaw "Vogg" Kieltyka (DECAPITATED) - Guitar
Reyash - Bass
Pawel Jaroszewicz (SOUL SNATCHER) - Drums
