VADER are currently cooped up in Radio Gdansk Studio working on their forthcoming new album, The Beast. “So far the process is going very smooth,” read a post on the band’s official website, “Daray has just finished recording of drums, the most important part in the album structure. The band has prepared about 50-minutes of music and it’s going to be the most diverse stuff of the band to date.”

Band frontman, Peter, assures the album will “incorporate feelings of the band’s first recordings,” The Ultimate Incantation and Sothis, as well as “utterly modern sounds.”

Pictures of Daray in action have been posted on the band’s website here, along with two video clips from the studio.
