Polish death metal veterans VADER have released a music video for a brand new single called ‘Unbending‘, which will be the official anthem of Poland’s renowned Mystic Festival this year. It’s also the closing track of VADER‘s upcoming new EP Humanihility that will be out on May 30th, 2025, and can be pre-ordered as of today.

Five years after the much-lauded 12th studio album Solitude In Madness, VADER return with 3 brand-new tracks once again produced by Scott Atkins at Grindstone Studio, UK. Featuring excellent artwork by Marcelo Vasco (Slayer, Testament, Dark Funeral), this EP marks the first recording as a quintet with guitarist Mauser returning to the group and new drummer Michael alongside vocalist/guitarist Peter, bassist Hal and and another long-time member of the band – guitarist Spider.

Humanihility offers scorching new songs that prove to be vicious, thrash-laden anthems perfectly blending old-school thrash with VADER‘s unique straight-forward fury and neckbreaking tempos. Each of the songs was created by a different band member, giving them a more personal style.

The only physical edition will be a  limited 12” (red vinyl, 700 copies).

VADER formed back in 1983 and besides releasing classics such as The Ultimate Incantation, De Profundis, Litany (which has its 25th anniversary in 2025)and many more, are the longest active extreme metal band to ever emerge from Europe!
