Metal Blade and Vader part ways

Poland's most punishing death metal ensemble, Vader, has parted ways with Metal Blade Records following the release of 'The Beast', which was issued in September of 2004 to lackluster results. The release of the album fulfilled the group's recording contract with the label.

Currently, the band is working on a three track MCD that has been in production for five months. No word as of yet on which label will be releasing the effort.
