Olsztyn, Poland-based death metal band Vader issued Thy Messenger<\/em> EP on May 31st, 2019 through Nuclear Blast Records.<\/p>\n

Frontman and Vader mastermind Piotr \u201cPeter\u201d Wiwczarek commented: \u201cWe are so happy to give you all Vader\u2019s new EP Thy Messenger<\/em>. We recorded those five songs in January when we were supposed to record a full-length album. However, we changed some plans and dates, which delayed the LP.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince we already had several songs ready, we decided to travel to Hertz Studio again and record as an independent release. We added a re-make of a title track from album Litany<\/em>, which was recorded 20 years ago. This one became one of favourites among our fans and we plan to perform the whole album as part of live-set in Autumn this year. The other song is our version of \u2018Steeler\u2019 from the legendary Judas Priest British Steel<\/em> [1980] record and is our huge respect for their heritage in the metal scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the meantime, we\u2019re working on the new album in Grindstone Studio in UK with Scott Atkins as producer and there is only some vocals and leads left to finish. We will visit many festivals and our own shows in Summer and Autumn and we will bring songs from Thy Messenger<\/em> on stage too. See ya soon and… STAY VADERIZED.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thy Messenger<\/em> was recorded at Hertz Studio in Bia\u0142ystok, Poland under the supervision of Wojtek and S\u0142awek Wies\u0142awski.<\/p>\n
