VADER
Vader is a Polish death metal band from Olsztyn. Formed in 1983, the band is led by bassist Piotr "Peter" Wiwczarek and guitarist Zbigniew "Vika" Wróblewski. Vader faces several formation changes during his existence, with Wiwczarek being the only member from the original formation. Since 2011, the band has included Wiwczarek on guitar and vocals, guitarist Marek "Spider" Pająk, bassist Tomasz "Hal" Halicki, and British drummer James Stewart.
Having started as a heavy metal band, Vader then moved towards thrash, speed, then at the end of the 1980s, death metal. It was only after nine years that they released their first album, The Ultimate Incantation.
The name of the group is inspired by Darth Vader (Darth Vader in original version) from the Star Wars4 film series. Their lyrical themes are inspired by the world of HP Lovecraft5 and the Second World War.
According to Billboard magazine, in 2002, Vader had approximately 500,000 sold internationally.
Get ready for a very special set list recalling the band's path from the vicious demo "Necrolust" to the recent nuclear album "Solitude In Madness". And more…. During this tour organized by Massive Music, their former friends from Vomitory will share the stage with them. In the first part we will find the groups Skaphos and Aetherian.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE ULTIMATE TRIP TO HELL?

VOMITORY
Vomitory was formed in 1989 by guitarist Urban Gustafsson during the birth of the world-famous Brutal Swedish Death Metal scene. Since then, they have consistently and brutally delivered simple, grinding Death Metal. While being part of the phenomenon that was the Swedish Death Metal scene, early and biggest influences were Sodom, Slayer, Entombed, Bolt Thrower, Napalm Death, Grave and Carcass. During the first few years, Vomitory made a name for themselves in the global underground Death Metal scene by releasing a few demos and a 7″ vinyl single.
In February 2013, after 24 years, 8 albums and hundreds of concerts in 30 countries, Vomitory made the collective decision to separate to open a new chapter. However, the band's retirement proved short-lived, returning to the stage in 2019 to celebrate their 30th anniversary and releasing their first new album in twelve years in 2023, the monstrous “All Heads Are Gonna Roll”.
With vivid horror-movie-inspired artwork – a dash of anti-religion for good measure – “All Heads Are Gonna Roll” truly is the complete package for Death Metal fans, and a stunning return to form after so much years between outings.

SKAPHOS
Formed in 2018, the crew plunges into the abyss, lost and drowned in a madness from which they can never escape. A terrible world on the edge of reality.
“From now on, SKAPHOS figures prominently among the names to remember from the French Black/Death Metal scene” (Metal Alliance Mag).
The first album “Bathyscaphe” was released in 2020, revealing a vehement, aggressive and dissonant style. A journey inspired by short stories by writers such as Verne and Lovecraft. After a Franco-Swiss tour with STORTREGN in 2020, the group signed with The Flaming Arts Agency and went on tour with VADER in Europe as well as a French tour in 2021. It was the following year that the second album, entitled “Thooi”, a divinity created from scratch by the members of the crew. The story of a people fanatically devoted to their god of the abyss, awakened after centuries of sleep, more powerful than ever. The group then leaves for two new European tours alongside I AM MORBID, HATE, BELPHEGOR then MARDUK to finish with a second Franco-Swiss tour with STORTREGN in 2022. At the beginning of 2023, the team goes to Japan for a tour with BATUSHKA .
SKAPHOS illustrates its universe both on stage, through a sordid show representing the seabed, and on the screens: numerous clips and a short film inspired by expressionism such as those of Fritz Lang: “The Litany of Flots”.

Aetherian
Aetherian is a Greek melodic death metal band from Athens, formed in 2013, which started as a studio project. Shortly after their formation, they released two singles, “Drops of Light” and “Scar of Despair” in 2014. A year later, their first EP titled “Tales of our Times” received positive feedback from audiences looking for this genre. They quickly signed a publishing contract with the Polish label “Goressimo Records”. Aetherian then began to perform live on several stages in Greece.
In 2016, they recorded a new single accompanied by a music video called “The Rain” which attracted attention and marked the beginning of their journey. ”The Rain” has made a huge impact in a very short time on social media and the underground scene, reaching over 3.5 million views on YouTube.
Shortly after, the group was approached by Lifeforce Records, and signed a contract for the release of their next album “The Untamed Wilderness”. The first album, recorded and released at the end of 2017, received even greater feedback from webzines, magazines and blogs. He is featured in Metal Hammer (Greece), Metalstorm Awards, Legacy Magazine, MetalSucks and many more. Between 2017 and 2019, the group participated twice in the Greek tour “This is Hell” and opened for Lamb of God, Septic Flesh, Nightrage and Unto Others. In 2020, Aetherian recorded a new single “Primordial Woods”.
