Search - Vader :: Necropolis

Best Vader release since Black to the Blind

"By far, this is the best Vader album since Black to the Blind or Live in Japan. Though, the lineup has changed, you can still hear it's still Vader. I dare to say that changing the band members is the best thing that Peter could have done. I guess there will be a lot comparisons to Behemoth's new CD - pointless in my opinion. Vader plays, I would say, more traditionally, while Behemoth is more extreme right now.

I've listened few times to the whole record, and all I can say is that I've found all the things that I like in Vader's music. No weak moments. Again, the new band members seem to be better suited for Vader's style. Also, the album includes two covers - 'Black Metal' and 'Fight Fire With Fire'. Some may argue that it's not very original, but it's also part of Vader. They've been recording covers since forever, and they've always done it great.

If you're looking for classic death/thrash, this is a must have for you."

Dark and Brutal Metal

"Coming off of the heals of "Impressions in Blood", I didn't know what to expect from a new Vader album. "Necropolis" represents a much more refined and focused musical venture. There is not a lot of experimentation here and absolutely no sparkle and shine. It is pure, dark hatred. I was surprisingly pleased with this album. For years Vader was always a peripheral band, but this work has pushed them into the forefront of my listening cycle."

"To me, this is my idea of a perfect Death Metal album... Great songs, Riffs galore, furious drumming, quirky/scary little interludes and flawless production, as to be expected from VADER as their entire catalog is the bible of Death Metal if you asked me... Get this album and you may finally understand the difference between a polish sausage and a hotdog."
