Review by Sonny for Vader - Solitude in Madness (2020)

They may not be the hippest band in the death metal canon, but sod that, I happen to like Vader! At this point in their career they have a tried and tested formula that has stood the ravages of time. Thrashy death metal that pays respect to their forebears such as Slayer, Death and Morbid Angel, doesn't break any rules, but still kicks ass. The one thing, for me, that has always set Vader apart is the vocals. I just really dig the timbre of Peter's vocals and have to admit that he is my favourite death metal vocalist, so I've always looked upon new Vader releases favourably. All the same, this is solid stuff with some damn fine Slayer-esque solos to boot so hopefully it will appeal to more metalheads than just me.
