VADER - Solitude in Madness review



VADER - Solitude in Madness

Nuclear Blast


So here's the sixteenth full length by VADER. Bias alert, I'm a huge VADER fan. For me as a fan it's not just their brand of death metal (with touches of thrash on occasion) which excites me. It's their consistency to continually put out great music over their long career without tossing out a dud. 


Sure I own all of VADER's full lengths as well as a few short form releases. They're not all perfect albeit some of em are which is an opinion most DM fans agree on. We're talking Polish Metal Power here people. One thing I have noticed is that after a few decent releases VADER will come out with a complete ass kicking of a record. This is one of em. 


Solitude in Madness is eleven short cuts, no songs over four minutes, with a running time of thirty minutes. Yeah that's like an EP but honestly I'm getting tired of over forty five minute releases. So you've got a half hour's worth of death thrash brutality. There's really no nonsense and the only surprise on here was their cover of "Dancing in the Slaughterhouse” by fellow countrymen ACID DRINKERS. All in all a great VADER release and probably their best in a while.
