Vader is a Polish death metal band founded in 1986.

Vader stands as one of the best known European death metal bands. Vader play a style of death metal different from that of their American counterparts, but their approach is nonetheless firmly based upon the template created by Slayer. For example, many bands of this genre tend to play guitar solos and lead parts which do not adhere strictly to traditional musical principles (such as being in key) and are filled with tremolo-bar abuse, creating a rather dissonant sound. Vader, on the other hand, whilst often playing in this style, occaisonally diverge and play diminished, augmented, and even minor scale solos. Vader is also different in that vocalist Piotr Wiwczarek's vocals do not follow the standard sound widely considered acceptable for death metal. While his vocal approach remains extreme, it is a much more throaty approach, with far more personality, giving him the ability to sound out words far more clearly than most death metal bands.
