Polish death metal legends Vader released their much acclaimed fifteenth full length, Solitude In Madness, in 2020 and proved to the world that even after almost forty years of existence they were still one of the leading forces within their genre … and beyond. However, let’s not forget that the year 2020 also marked the twenty fifth anniversary of Vader’s classic and much sought-after second album De Profundis (first released 1995 in Poland), which hasn’t been properly available in physical form in about two decades, although it’s regarded by many fans as one of the best albums in the band’s catalogue.

But rejoice, Vader and label Nuclear Blast haven’t forgotten about it and have announced that they will re-release De Profundis, fully remastered and on various formats, including its first ever appearance on vinyl, on July 30th, 2021!

Founding member Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek comments:”De Profundis was never released on vinyl before. The Mid-nineties were already dominated by CD albums. The original tape from Modern Sound Studio was lost with no chance of recovery. So we made a new master using a Telefunken professional tape studio recorder to give the whole record a warmer sound, with a more analogue feel and dynamics, but without altering the original version of course.”

De Profundis was described at the time as “a perfect mixture of Slayer and Morbid Angel“. Today, the album is considered a classic in the death metal scene.

De Profundis Tracklist:
Silent Empire
An Act of Darkness
Blood Of Kingu
Incarnation
Sothis
Revolt
Of Moon, Blood, Dream And Me
Vision And The Voice
Reborn In Flames
