The Litany (25th Anniversary Reissue) LP will be available in the following variants and limitations from Metal Blade Records on June 6:
– 180g black vinyl LP (Unlimited)

Check out the album’s merciless opening track, “Wings”, in its remastered 25th anniversary version:
Vader’s Peter Wiwczarek commented in the liner notes as follows about Litany: “Litany was definitely our fastest and most brutal album ever recorded…This year the album celebrates its quarter-century and we want to remind you of the power of these brutal riffs. The album returns to the stages in full form. Many of the songs haven’t been played since the 2000-2001 promotional tour. Some of them have never been played. I invite you to the world of ‘Litany’! Remember…you enter here at your own risk!”

Stay tuned for more Vader news and activity surrounding the Litany anniversary, coming soon.
Vader recently 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 30.
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). Pre-order/pre-save the EP here.
Vader formed back in 1983 and besides releasing classics such as The Ultimate Incantation, De Profundis, Litany and many more, are the longest active extreme metal band to ever emerge from Europe!
Tracklisting:
“Genocide Designed”
“Rampage”
“Unbending” (Mystic Festival Anthem 2025)
“Unbending” (Mystic Festival Anthem 2025) video:
