The album "Future of the Past" (1996) consists entirely of cover tracks (Sodom, Terrorizer, Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath or even� Depeche Mode). "Black to the Blind" (1997) is Vader's third studio album, originally released in October 1997. Both titles include a bonus track! "Revelations" and the mini album "Blood" were both released in 2002. The album "Revelations" is enhanced with a multimedia section!

There are very few bands that have managed to weave a web of mystery around them. Very few have survived and kept going strong until today. When faced with the question 'which' people tend to mention American death-mongers with the likes of Morbid Angel, Deicide or Cannibal Corpse... However, for a few years now in the same breath many have named Vader - perhaps the only band from Europe which has sustained it's status for a number of years. Theirs is the cult of musical brutality and the urge to succeed. Few may remember that Vader were the first band ever from behind "the Iron Curtain" to sign to a Western label while their 1990 demo "Morbid Reich" is still considered to be the best selling demo tape in the history of death metal. The band was formed in 1986. In 1993 they released their debut album titled "The Ultimate Incantation" (Earache) which has since become one of the milestones of European death metal. These were also the first brutal sounds from behind "the Iron Curtain" which reached the audiences all over the world. The success of three subsequent outings: "De Profundis" (1995), "Future of the Past" (1996), and "Black to the Blind" (1997) backed with super-intense shows activity (more than 350 concerts within 3 years!) slowly but surely contributed to the band's growing profile and increasingly enthusiastic press coverage.
