Vader are a UsefulNotes/{{Pol|and}}ish DeathMetal[=/=]ThrashMetal Band, with good emphasis on the Thrash. Originally starting off simply as a harder thrash band before shifting towards the style that they play.


!!Members:
* Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek – lead guitar, vocals (1983–present)
* Marek "Spider" Pająk – rhythm guitar (2010–present)
* Tomasz "Hal" Halicki – bass (2011–present)
* Michal Andrzejczyk - drums (2022-present)
----
!!Discography:
* ''The Ultimate Incantation'' (1992; re-recorded in 2017)
* ''De Profundis'' (1995)
* ''Black to the Blind'' (1997)
* ''Litany'' (2000)
* ''Revelations'' (2002)
* ''The Beast'' (2004)
* ''Impressions in Blood'' (2006)
* ''Necropolis'' (2009)
* ''Welcome to the Morbid Reich'' (2011)
* ''Tibi Et Igni'' (2014)
* ''The Empire'' (2016)
* ''Solitude in Madness'' (2020)

!!Tropes Related to Vader:
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: They have {{Cover|Version}}ed "Raining Blood" by Music/{{Slayer}}, Extreme Noise Terror's "Raping the Earth", The Exploited's "Troops of Tomorrow" and... Music/DepecheMode's "I Feel You."
%%* AscendedExtra: Marek Pająk.
* CallBack: The album ''Welcome to the Morbid Reich'', to the ''Morbid Reich'' demo.
* CoverAlbum: The two ''Future of the Past'' albums.
* DeathMetal: Along with Music/{{Behemoth}}, Hate, and Music/{{Decapitated}}, they are one of the flagship groups of the Polish scene.
* EpicRocking: "Revelation of Black Moses", "The Eye of the Abyss".
* GenreBusting: DeathMetal and ThrashMetal molded into one.
* HarshVocals: Subverted, surprisingly, as Piotr Wiwczarek instead opts for a very clear throaty bellow with a noticeable accent (which is rare in death metal). This style was later popularized by several other vocalists ([[Music/{{Behemoth}} Nergal]], Adam Buszko, and [[Music/{{Decapitated}} Adrian Kowanek]]) and has become known as the "Polish Growler" style.
* HeavyMithril: They wrote and performed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rx_AA5GfNE "Sword of the Witcher"]] for the compilation album ''VideoGame/TheWitcher: Music Inspired By the Game''.
* IAmSong: "I Am Who Feasts Upon Your Soul".
%%* IAmTheBand: Peter.
* IHateSong: "Litany" is a list of things the author hates about the person they are addressing the song to, as well as nasty things that he would like to do to them.
* {{Instrumentals}}: "Creation", "Red Dunes", "Between Day and Night", "Ultima Thule", "They Are Coming".
* LiveAlbum: ''The Darkest Age,'' ''Live in Japan''.
* MinisculeRocking: "An Act of Darkness", "The Innermost Ambience", and "Forwards to Die!!!" are just a few examples.
* MotorMouth: Peter's vocal delivery can get insanely fast at times, "Decapitated Saints" and "The Final Massacre" being the most prominent examples.
* RearrangeTheSong: The band frequently re-records old material and puts it on new releases. They did that to the entire ''The Ultimate Incantation'' album for its 25th anniversary under the name ''Dark Age''.
* ShoutOut: The name is one to [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]]. ''The Empire'' is also a pretty obvious nod to the same franchise. "Silent Empire" is about Trystero from Creator/ThomasPynchon's ''Literature/TheCryingOfLot49''.
* SpecialGuest: [[Music/{{Behemoth}} Nergal]] delivers guest vocals on "Revelations", and he's just one of them in all of Vader history. Listing them all would be quite exhausting.
* StrictlyFormula: While they have generally grown heavier and more technical over the years (particularly after Marek "Spider" Pajak joined and was able to provide more traditional shred riffs to contrast Peter's chaotic and primitive leads) and have been willing to embrace more modern conventions, Vader albums have stayed highly consistent. A Vader album will include a bunch of speedy death/thrash tracks, a few mid-paced tracks, maybe an oddball track or two, and maybe a bigger epic, but anyone who listens to a given release will know what to expect.
* ThrashMetal: A major component of their sound

* TheAlcoholic: Why Krzysztof "Doc" Raczkowski was fired. By the end of his run in the band, he was an out-of-control alcoholic who was fast approaching rock bottom, and the band was fast losing their patience with him. The last straw came during the recording sessions for ''The Beast'', when Doc (who was still in the band at the time) drunkenly fell down a flight of stairs during the sessions and fractured his hand, and the band had to hire Dariusz Brzozowski as a session member because they knew then and there that they could no longer have Doc in the band. It wound up killing him just a year later, as he died of heart failure at just thirty-four years old.
