Polish death metal outfit Vader have revealed the cover art and track listing for their upcoming album The Empire. The record is slated to hit stores on November 4th through Nuclear Blast. Bandleader Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek said of the cover, which was illustrated by artist Joe Petagno:
“Here is the cover art for The Empire created by Joe Petagno himself!!! The whole design includes many details connected to the main theme influencing me before and during the process of recording: war and the ‘cold crisis’ around us today… There are also links to couple of famous movie series, which influence the generations and erupt with violence, hate and ‘imperial tendencies’… Is this just a fantasy or maybe a sign of the 21st century generation? You have to answer that in your own… and the future will show us, how real that feeling is? Enjoy The Empire and… join us on tour soon.”
