Polish death metal icons Vader have just dropped the cover for their upcoming, 16th, studio album, Solitude in Madness, due for release May 1 via Nuclear Blast Records. Check out the stunning art designed by Wes Benscoter (Autopsy, Cattle Decapitation) below.
On the album, frontman Piotr “Peter” Wiwczarek has this to say:
“Humanity never learns from its lessons; I feel tensions continuing to rise around the world. People have forgotten about true pain, from a bigger picture standpoint. Generationally, the new generation doesn’t respect the old, and I’d challenge they don’t even respect themselves.
“Our everyday lives are on TV, so there’s no soul left. Everything’s empty. I think technology is also sucking the human out of us. There are more lonely people now than ever before, and yet we’re supposed to be connected together by technology. It’s madness! That’s where the title, Solitude in Madness, came from, actually. Of course, I approach these topics in a very Vader way. I love telling stories and expressing myself through those stories.”
Solitude in Madness is due for release May 1 via Nuclear Blast Records. You can pre-order your copy here.
