Polish death metal heroes ‘Vader’, who have been churning great albums in quick succession, have recently unleashed ‘The beast’. Noticeably, adding newer techniques to death metal with their each subsequent release the latest one takes them a step further from the last one ‘Blood’. Tearing down the slayerY walls around them (on ‘blood’). Firstly, on ‘The beast’ the average length of songs has remarkably increased from two to four minutes, displaying a newer playing style. Vader has inserted a breakaway blistering riff charge-discharge, to the fury of theirs. Mutually, this is aided by a natural echoing vocal effect used by peter on most of the songs. This helps the crunchy sound cruise through those monstrous riffs. Mind you will not find your old-Vader touch very prevalent, as the songs are not ultra fast and rapid as they used to be. Incorporation of Intro’s, outro’s and haunted string plucking seem to be the band’s discovery, which multiplies the freshness. The length of solos has considerably increased, that demarcates them the over ancient run-throughs. Pete’s vocals accomplish the riveting act and gravely invite kill Doc’s drumming sounds much developed in comparison to past records. The balance struck between the blasts beats conversion and recon version to a technical hammer-rage, can’t be neglected. The riffs created by Vader on ‘The beast’ have been segmented to perfection, where the progress happens sequentially, procreating a unique twin guitar layout. Concluding, that none of the song structures are flat out, instead they are now loaded with newer ammunition. Verses reflect move around uneasiness, anguish and reinstating strength (in each sense of the word). And, knowingly these are few of their regular themes over which the music revolves. Spin ‘dark transmission’ (track 2), ‘insomnia’ (track 8), ‘choices’ (final track) back to back and you might imbibe same set of thoughts that I gathered while reviewing. This is crushing death metal. This is Vader reborn! Still waiting to own it?
