Black vinyl with gatefold cover and printed innersleeve

I dont know why every single metal band sooner or later has to do a cover album – from the top notch of Metallica to the bottom point of Angelcorpse. Vader stands somewhere in the middle but they stands out with a highly remakes with the originals, with both excellent trademarks of making a metal cover – keeping the original thrill and also making it a bit updated. Starting with the barrage of Sodom “Outbreak Of Evil” – might be the first death metal song in the world – Vader shifting their musical skills and accuracy with no problem dealing with the old-school extreme-metal oriented sloppiness. They make it tighter than ever. “Flag Of Hate” is even a better example – while the song itself is faster than the Sodom track, Kreator always done it better – song-writing wise. So does Vader covering their track with sufficient nastiness to make it one of the stand-out tracks here. For all the dudes who love old school thrash and death metal – Vader understands your needs and deliverers some harsh tracks with Possessed’s “Death Metal”, Dark Angel “Merciless Death” and ultimately, Slayer’s “Silent Scream”. They are also two Terrorizer covers, a Celtic Frost cover, and two tracks were Vader tries to manipulate the tracks to turn them into their own outfit. The two tracks are “We Are The League” by punk act Anti-Nowhere-League. Vader try to speed things up a bit – making it kinda crossover track with thrilling velocity and harsh vocals. Finally we got “Black Sabbath” – the first metal song ever created – Vader take all of their evil attitude and give this song a new meaning – even more scarier than the original. Though it lacks the Vader speed – it has the most shivering atmosphere and is definitely the peak of this album. Listen to the end when the guitar riffs are coming back all together. This is metal, my friends – they way it should sound in the late 90’s.
