Polish death metal veterans VADER

have posted the following message on their official web site:

“During the recording session of VADER's new album, [drummer] Doc met with an unfortunate accident at the studio. He seriously injured his hand and leg during the third day of working at Hertz. The band has been forced to cancel the session and postpone recordings on May. Unfortunately the injuries of VADER's drummer require longer convalescence, it follows that Doc won't play the drums on the new album! The band is going to record the album at PR Studio in Gdańsk and Daray from Polish black metal band VESANIA will join the band as a session musician, taking over the drums on the new record. He will also play with VADER on band's forthcoming gigs and tours. The new album is going to be released in September. Keep your fingers crossed for both drummers, more details follow soon.”

As previously reported, the follow-up to 2002's “Revelations”, tentatively titled “Spiritual Disease”, is being produced by Piotr Lukaszewski and will mark the group's final release for Metal Blade under the terms of their present contract with the label. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include “Out Of A Deep” and “Lead Us!”
